Fine Fragrance
Accords led by naturals, built to be read rather than decoded. Most of what is in them, we grew.
Eighteen naturals, and the discipline to use few of them at once
Our accords are built around materials we can vouch for down to the household that tapped them. That constraint is productive: instead of reaching for a captive to fill a gap, the bench works the gap out of the structure. The results are simpler formulas than the industry standard, and easier ones to hold steady across seasons.
- House naturals first, bought-in materials only where the structure needs them
- Formulas written to survive a difficult crop year
- Every natural traceable to a collection point
From a brief to a formula your factory can actually run
Bespoke work starts with a conversation about volume and price, not about mood boards. We would rather tell you in week one that a brief needs more benzoin than a season can supply than discover it after a launch date is set. From there: trials, evaluation, stability, and a production formula with a supply commitment attached to it.
- First trials within three weeks of an agreed brief
- Stability and compliance handled before sign-off
- Supply commitment written against the formula
The best thing about working here is that when a material changes, nobody has to guess why. Somebody in this building watched it happen.
Personal care, home care and fabric, on the same palette
The same naturals behave very differently in a surfactant base than in alcohol, and a great deal of the bench work is figuring out which of them survive. What we publish for functional application is the shortlist that does: materials with the substantivity and cost-in-use to hold up in a real product.
- Personal care, home care, fabric and oral
- Cost-in-use worked out before the accord, not after
- Malodour and substantivity data on request
What we are still working out at the bench.
