Fragrance notes bespoke candle oceanic

Scent
Fresh familiarity of beach life with sparks of added wonder! Sea salt air carrying delicious memories of driftwood and delicate florals. A citrus note completes the fougere accord in this uplifting fragrance. Natural ingredients: Italian Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, Petigrain, Elemi, Vetiver.

"Evoking water can be challenging in perfumery as it's more of a feeling than a scent. With OCEAN we wanted to design a marine that is exciting and not stereotypical.

To evoke the saltiness of the ocean we have used an ambergris note.

We also chose vetiver from Haiti which has a rooty saltiness, like a piece of driftwood washed up on a shore.

A fougere accord adds an extra dimension with Italian bergamot and lemon bringing freshness; followed by orange flower paired with Lavandin, grown at high altitude in France, lending an almost spa-like freshness to this oceanic scent”

Ocean

I'm sunshine and sea salt, I'm wet hair and sand. I'm rolling waves splashing on golden shores. I'm endless blue waters and infinite sky, stretching out beyond steep cliffs and deep caves. Pinks, purples and oranges on the horizon.

Ocean Scent Creation

Essence of The Ocean

Water

Over 70% of the Earth's surface is water, so it felt necessary to create a blend based on an aquatic ecosystem! This was a challenging fragrance concept, considering that water isn't a smell as such but more a feeling!

In Ocean, we were searching for something that celebrates the sea but wasn't stereotypical. With a fresh familiarity and sparks of wonder.

Haitian Vetiver

Salty Air

To evoke senses of the ocean we developed an ambergris note and then added vetiver from Haiti, which has a rooty saltiness to it, reminiscent of driftwood washed up on the shore.

Vetiver is grown in the western part of Haiti by small independent growers. This warm and earthy smelling plant plays an important role in ecosystem conservation all over the world. The unique characteristics of vetiver enable it to remove toxins from water and rehabilitate degraded soils, it's referred to as a miracle grass!

Bergamot & Orange Blossom

Fresh Fougere

To add an extra layer of excitement to the blend, we introduced a fougere accord. In the top, Italian bergamot and lemon bring a freshness, which is paired with an unexpected pineapple note bringing the welcome suggestion of tropical climates. 

In the heart, an orange flower accord is complimented with Petitgrain, lending a spa-like feeling to this cool and aromatic blend.

Scent design by Perfumer Harry Sherwood. Hand blended in small batches in the south of England.
