The Scent

Warm and intimate, this grounding fragrance captures the romance of an old-world antique bookstore. Earthy aromas of sandalwood and saffron combine with an ephemeral whisper of powdery rose and patchouli to evoke the scents of aging paper, while smoky birch resin layers on notes of leather and dried ink.  

The Notes

  • Top: Ceylon Pepper, Saffron, Lemon Peel 
  • Middle: Rose, Patchouli, Sandalwood 
  • Base: Vanilla, Birch Resin 


The Memory

“Wandering the historic cobblestone streets of Lisbon, I chanced upon an antique bookstore with towering stacks of centuries-old books, many encased in distressed and worn leather bindings. As I perused the shelves, the pervasive smell around me was hypnotic: a humid mustiness emanating from the aging and fragile paper, the powdery scent of time, and a resinous odor indicative of the old ink long-dried on the books' yellowing pages. These weren’t world-famous works of literature or even books that would make it into museums, but they were precious nonetheless both to the hands that turned the pages before me, and the generations of book lovers to come.”

Buying Handmade

For small-scale, home decor artisans, their brands are their livelihoods and it reflects in the care that they take to hone their craft and produce something of real value. When given a choice between something that has been churned out by a machine in a factory and something that was beautifully crafted in someone’s garage, more consumers are opting for the latter. Every choice we make with regards to how we exercise our buying power, makes a difference.

Detoxify Your Life

The link between physical, mental and emotional wellbeing is becoming clearer. With the move to cleaner living and mindfulness, we’ve seen a pivot towards a detox movement that affects all categories of life. Detoxing takes many forms from eating healthier, and meditating, to uncluttering your space and choosing house decor items that stimulate good moods.
