Each Eau de Parfum has a minimum of 15% pure perfume oils. Extrait is 25% concentrate.

Yes. Creating natural perfume that is chic, modern and long-lasting is our raison d’etre. We use a highly concentrated formula of plant-derived natural oils, concretes and isolates, set in a food-grade (non-denatured), organic alcohol base.

Like a natural wine, we choose not to filter our fragrances, either with a physical membrane filter (which dilutes and changes the profile of our fragrances), or with chemical filters. Sometimes sediment can develop after an amount of time in the bottle. It’s nothing of concern and doesn’t impact the shelf life of the perfume nor the fragrance profile, it’s just a natural reaction that has taken place.

Moisturising (with a fragrance-free cream or oil) before you apply your perfume as the drier your skin, the more quickly it will absorb the fragrance oils. Perfume applied to your hair and/or clothes will last longer than perfume applied to your skin. Applying to pulse points will also help warm and develop the scent. Just remember, when applied near your nose (i.e. your neck), you become desensitised quickly from the constant smell, so although others will smell your perfume, you won’t.

Our perfumes and room sprays use an organic grain alcohol base, so they do contain alcohol. 

All of our fragrances are gluten-free. However, if you have celiac disease, we advise caution as our products are not certified under FDA gluten-free labelling guidelines. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

You’ll find INCI ingredients on the bottom of our perfume boxes and product ingredient list pages. These aren’t our actual ingredients (e.g. what we ‘add’ to the fragrance) but a regulatory requirement to declare any compounds in the overall fragrance formula (which are naturally occurring) that are potentially allergenic. So unless you have sensitivities, you needn’t worry about the INCI list. You can find the full list of ingredients used for each fragrance on our website.

No. The INCI list purely lists molecules found in the scent that are potential allergens. Most (almost all) fragrance houses will not share their full ingredients list, only the INCI list, required by law.Our fragrance Nurture, specifically designed to be low-allergen and pregnancy-safe, is a great example of this. A key ingredient is Bergamot Essential Oil. Because we know that Bergaptene, a molecule that naturally occurs in Bergamot Essential Oil can be associated with pigmentation, something that can be problematic to expecting mothers, we use a special Bergamot Oil that has had the Bergaptene molecule isolated and removed to make the fragrance maternity safe. There is often confusion between petrochemical and plant derived molecules that share the same molecular structure and therefore, name. The distinction lies in the source material. All molecules on our INCI list are molecules that exist in nature and in the ingredients in our scents. We never add these molecules to our fragrances and they are never from petrochemical sources.Below is a list and explanation of specific high-allergen INCI ingredients commonly found on our fragrance INCI lists. Limonene - According to the EWG, limonene is "a scent ingredient and solvent naturally occurring in the rind of citrus fruit." For example, our Golden Neroli fragrance features substantial citrus ingredients, which have a relatively high allergen content. This is because many people have sensitivities to citrus, similar to those experienced with consuming citrus fruits. We do not add Limonene to the fragrance itself.Benzyl Salicylate according to pubchem Benzyl Salicylate is a molecule that is naturally occuring “in the flower oils of hyacinths and ylang-ylang oil”. For example, a key ingredient in our Golden Neroli fragrance is ylang-ylang. We do not  add Benzyl Salicylate to the fragrance itself.We believe in full transparency and as such, you can read our full ingredients list for each fragrance here. 

All our 100% natural fragrances are safe to wear during pregnancy and postpartum (including breastfeeding). 

Our functional fragrance, Nurture, is specifically designed with ingredients that are naturally low allergens to ensure safety during pregnancy and around little ones. Explore Nurture.

Our fragrances can have a higher allergen content than their synthetic counterparts due to plant-derived ingredients tending to have more allergies than synthetic ingredients - we all know friends and family who suffer hayfever and you're more likely to be allergic to plants than to plastic! All the ingredients in our fragrances are naturally occurring allergens derived from plants, not synthetic chemicals. People can have sensitivities to these molecules just as they do to certain foods. 

Our 100% natural fragrances are formulated without harmful chemicals, ensuring a safer experience for all.  For individuals with sensitive skin or allergies, non-toxic perfumes are a gentler option. The absence of synthetic chemicals minimises the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions, making these perfumes suitable for everyday use.

When you create perfume you are constantly evaluating how the fragrance will wear on the skin and develop throughout the day - the top, heart and base notes specifically. Whereas with home fragrance it's a much more linear process and the focus is around creating a constant scent, that's not reliant on how it interacts with the skin. So you could technically wear it on your skin, but it is not designed for this.

We recommend spraying Room Spray into the open air throughout your interior space. It can also be sprayed directly over robust soft furnishings and natural fibres, such as linen, to prolong the scent. We recommend avoiding direct contact with delicate surfaces or items that cannot be washed easily, such as silk.
