OUR FRAGRANCES AND OUR INDIAN CONNECTION
In our pursuit of distinct and unique fragrance experiences, we spend several weeks a year in India, visiting fragrance developers and essential oil distillers. We have watched the chemists at work and sampled thousands of different fragrant and essential oils.
We find that the oils made by our Indian suppliers have a certain depth not found locally. This depth is not just the depth of scent, but the actual viscosity of these oils is heavy and rich – and they remind me of maple syrup – thick, resinous and incredibly alluring.
There is also an earthy undertone to all of these scents that we particularly enjoy. The citruses are crisper, the florals are deeper and more vibrant and the woods are oh so dirty – we love them.
Sometimes we blend a selection of oils together, and other times we are satisfied with the oil in itself We get extremely excited when developing our own blends – because nine out of ten times, we quite unwittingly find our best sellers are in fact, blends made up of top, base & middle notes – there is a definite sense of wholeness and completeness to these blends. Our signature scent FEU DE CAMP (also sold as EMBERS) is one such creation.
