Blackish green, glistening and cool - like dragon's scales. An oakmoss beast.
Drakon is a full-on vintage fougere in a style we thought was extinct, appearing only in perfume legends. It's a bitter, powdery green leather which starts with punchy betel leaves, then slides into a resinous fir/cypress maze, finally coiling up on a bed of oakmoss.

Olive fruit absolute is an unusual material for an amber perfume, and a surprisingly appealing one. It gives a salty, animalic nuance to this sheer blend of cypress and sandalwood, rubbing up nicely against the cinnamon character of Tasmanian mountain pepper.

Bamboo captures the tranquil greenness of spring and summer in Zhejiang — a vision of misty hills and swaying bamboo after the morning fog has lifted. The breeze carries fresh green leaves through a soft haze of lily of the valley, jasmine and geranium. A breath of earth is suggested by vetiver and patchouli, while ambergris and cypress wrap the scent in a warm, resinous calm.

Misty Cypress Ash captures a mountain landscape with swirls of smoke rising from smoldering cypress branches amid the forest mist. Opens with an herbaceous, slightly bitter green haze of absinthe and wormwood, transitioning into a warm, spicy and woody heart of cypress and rich tobacco. Finally it settles into a comfortable, earthy and mineral-smoky finish with rooty vetiver and austere cedar.

and those who don’t play by the rules
Orange blossom absolute, leather and musk. A scent that flouts perfumery convention (no top or middle notes) - made solely of base notes.
Defies authority. Doesn’t conform. Plays for meaning, not for score. Leads from own path, with tender heart. Not here for likes. Not here for follows. Works Hard. Plays Harder. Hard to catch. Harder to forget.

The primal sap of the forest. The dew-soaked ground releases the smell of damp earth that awakens an animal joy. A soft cloud of oak moss and mushrooms rises. Sandalwood envelops, clary sage enlivens. The benzoin drydown reveals amber and resinous notes, prowling like a wolf.
