The season
Perfumes for the dark half of the year
Autumn calls for a different kind of perfume. As the air turns cold, I reach for compositions to match: warm, spicy, rich, and decadent.
This is the season of magic and mystery, when veils thin and spells are cast by candlelight. These six aromas are my companions. This set is how I share the aromas of autumn with you.
The six
woodsy, incense, hinoki, sandalwood, precious florals, shinto temple
Enter the temple, where the aroma of the sun-drenched temple walls merges with sacred incense. Japanese woods are home to abundant offerings.

Base Notes: buddhawood, sandalwood, eaglewood

This is a ceremonial-grade, natural perfume that may be used as both a daily fragrance and ritual aromatic.

ambrée, temple incense, rose
Aged woods line the temple entrance to the underworld, the aroma of sandalwood and fragrant smoke rising to meet you. Adorned with roses, you enter the chamber of secrets—and emerge the embodiment of Venus.
