Stercus never lies.
A part of the essential body functioning and a natural way to fertilize the soil.

A sign of an infinite life circle.
The smell of an end and the beginning.
Blue Flame by Insenf £125.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- benzoin
- coriander
- mugwort
- sambuca
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:
- leather
- spicy
Cool herbs, the sweetness of anise, the warmth of a boozy flame at the bottom of a glass. Blue Flame begins in that glass. It opens bright and bitter, like lemon peel twisted between the fingers. Mint leaves and dry coriander seed steadies it. Then comes sambuca, the anise liqueur that lingers with chilly sweetness, shadowed by bitter/herbal Mugwort. Vetiver and cedarwood trace the outline of dry wood, and benzoin resin adds a low hum. Finally, white musk emerges, turning this cool customer into a warm, languid skin scent, its sweet herbs still held within.
Darin's Musk by SweDoft £120.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- rose
- white musk
- Aromagroups:
- transparent
- woody
The name of the perfume is a reference to the ancient port of Darin (located on the Tarout island/جزيرة تاروت in the modern day Saudi Arabia).This port was famous in the Middle ages as the musk exchange hub, where merchants from everywhere would come to buy deer musk.
Darin’s musk was legendary (top quality and genuine). Swedoft are treating us to that fabled musk aroma in a poetic modern perfume way. Darin’s Musk is a bright, voluminous fresh musk cloud. It’s not animalic. It’s white musk, clean and exquisite. It did however inherit the outstanding longevity and diffusiveness of the original deer musk traded centuries ago in the port of Darin.
Ibiza Nights by CARNER £150.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- benzoin
- mandarin
- pear
- Aromagroups:

Sun soaked dayz and disco nights, this scent captures the character of Ibiza with white florals and aromatic star anise. Chic, cool, joyful!
Moonglade by MINT £170.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- coconut
- lavender
- nutmeg
- orange
- patchouli
- Aromagroups:
- aromatic
- fruity
- leather
Perfumer: Chris Maurice
From the master perfume responsible for most of the Xerjoff range, Moon Glade is a very unconventional take on lavender. The perfumer added a charred coconut shell nuance and poured sweet peach compote to the clean musky vibes of the herb.
Sirenide by Beaufort £125.00
- Key notes:
- anise seeds
- lotus
- orris (iris root)
- woodruff
- Aromagroups:
- aromatic
- leather
- marine
Orkney, an archipelago located to the north of Scotland, plays host to the inspiration for this fragrance. According to ancient Orkney myth, shapeshifting creatures – selkies – inhabit the bodies of seals who, coming out of the water, shed their skin to walk among humans. Often in these legends the selkie’s skin is found and hidden by local men, and they are forced to marry their human captor.
But in our version of this tale, the selkie takes control. Furious that he has tanned her precious skin, the selkie poisons her captor, reclaiming the leather and returning finally to the tumbling sea.
Sirenide Eau de Parfum is a suitably formidable fragrance: powerful and haunting, with triplicate aspects of ‘skins’ developing on your own. PVC melds with pinseal and an unnerving bitter almond note; water flowers blossom and die, returning to the water.
Calisson by Karzaz £69.00
- Key notes:
- almond
- bergamot
- caramel
- milky nuance
- sandalwood
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- citrusy
- edible
Inspired by the traditional Provençal sweet Calisson, an almond-shaped paste of candied fruit topped with fondant icing. This edp launches with bergamot and sugary milk. Fresh orange blossom radiates from the heart, supported by a warm and creamy sandalwood. Base notes of caramel, vanilla and musk complete the mouth-watering effect.
Like a Virgin Unplugged by Art Meets Art £135.00
- Key notes:
- almond
- bergamot
- orange blossom
- vanilla

Tonka Kumaru by Atelier Materi £230.00
- Key notes:
- almond
- barley
- cardamom
- tonka beans
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Kumaru is the name of the tree that produces the star of this composition: the incredibly expressive tonka bean. This sensual and comforting fragrance is built around this versatile material in all its facets: woody, balsamic, vanillic and almondy, with hints of tobacco and hay. Cardamom, roasted barley and amber add a gourmand texture that shimmers between touchable and lickable. Musks heighten the addictive quality.
Perfumer: Céline Perdriel
Vanilla For Breakfast by French Cowboy £90.00
- Key notes:
- almond
- tonka beans
- vanilla
- Aromagroups:
- edible
Shaped by French beauty influencer and tech academic Mia Fall (@socharmante), Vanilla for Breakfast is an olfactory confession of her deepest obsession: vanilla. Sweet almond extract, milky and tender, harmonizes with creamy benzoin as not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different vanillas assert themselves. A vanilla tincture lifts first alongside the sweet almond. Vanilla CO2 bridges the top to the heart. Vanilla absolute from Madagascar settles into the heart and base. And finally, a twentyfold concentrated vanilla absolute, the most enveloping of all, stays with you forever. Roasted tonka absolute underscores the message with its toasted depth. Most vanillas take their time. This one wakes up early!
