Seven niche fragrances, four years in composition, and exactly nothing in between. Each is built on a single material — leather, smoke, fig, salt, hay, oud, iris — and carries that material from rose-petal opening to twelve-hour drydown.
Each fragrance is an edition of 1,200 numbered bottles, refilled twice a year. Concentrations vary — EDP for everyday wear, Parfum for the colder months, Extrait for moments you need a fragrance to last.
Every fragrance ships with its full pyramid printed on the side of the box — not a marketing pyramid of three pretty words, but the full disclosed list of every material, every IFRA-restricted ingredient, every concentration percentage.
It's how perfumers read each other's work. We think you should be able to read ours.
A wooden tray of four 1.5ml glass vials, your choice of any four from the archive. Twenty-four dollars, shipped flat, fully refundable against your first full bottle within thirty days.
I started this archive after twenty years of composing for fashion houses I cannot name. Each of these seven is the version of a fragrance I was never permitted to ship — the version with the actual leather, the actual oud, the actual amount of iris. They are quieter than they should be. They are also the only ones I still wear.Aïssa LemoinePerfumer · Grasse, France
