All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone moving slowly through open grass after rain, jacket unzipped, sleeves catching the breeze. It has a calm, grounded presence that reads close and natural rather than loud, with a vintage edge that suits quiet confidence.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its citrus-herbal opening and hay-lavender heart can stay crisp without turning heavy. Apply lightly to pulse points or clothing for a clean, airy trail; on skin it settles into a soft, earthy vetiver that lasts with restrained projection.
Who it’s for
For those who like classic fougère structure, green aromatics and a clean, understated woody drydown. It will appeal to wearers who prefer natural-feeling compositions, pastoral imagery and a vintage style that stays soft rather than sharp.

The nose
Lisa Howarth Founder of Ortir Apothecari, Lisa Howarth works as both grower and perfumer, shaping the brand’s fragrances from home-distilled botanicals and a deeply personal Welsh landscape. Her approach is hands-on and small-batch, with an emphasis on natural materials, place-driven composition and a tactile sense of realism. With Dôl, Howarth reinterprets the classic fougère through a greener, more pastoral lens. The structure is traditional, but the effect is softer and more atmospheric: citrus, lavender, hay and vetiver are used to suggest meadow air, damp earth and sunlit grass rather than a polished barbershop accord.
Collaborators
Lisa Howarth developed the fragrance as the founder of Ortir Apothecari, shaping both the concept and the formula around her own Welsh landscape references and the house’s home-grown ingredients.
Ortir Apothecari’s story
Ortir Apothecari is a Welsh niche house built around small-batch, artisan perfumery and ingredients grown or distilled by hand. Its identity is rooted in place, especially the textures, weather and memory of Wales, with an emphasis on naturalism and personal expression over mass-market polish.
Dol’s concept
Dôl, meaning meadow in Welsh, was created as part of Ortir Apothecari’s debut collection and conceived as a homage to the traditional fougère. The fragrance translates the idea of walking through Welsh meadows into scent, moving from bright citrus and aromatic herbs into lavender, hay and vetiver with a rain-washed, pastoral feel.
