L'Arbre de Vie
Eight chapters. One tree.
Unisex eaux de parfum, composed and hand finished in house. Every full bottle arrives in its coffret with a complimentary chapter of your choice.
The Pairs
One material, traced through two chapters
Two full 50 ml bottles that belong together: the same rose at its root and in bloom, the same neroli at morning and at night, the trunk and the root beneath it. Each Pair arrives as two signature coffrets, with the Discovery Set and two complimentary 2.5 ml chapters of your choice.
Les Branches
Chapters I to IV. The crown of the tree: light, rain, blossom, love. Four white coffrets.
Les Racines
Chapters V to VIII. The roots: warmth, wisdom, power, time. Four black coffrets, and genuine Oud Assafi in the deepest two.
Wild harvested in the hills on the border of Assam, the birthplace of oud, and distilled by the Jalali family.
The provenanceIt is a response. A wounded tree floods the injury with dark resin, and years of slow healing turn ordinary heartwood into the rarest material in perfumery.
What oud smells likeRed at the roots, warm through the trunk, white at the crown. One flower at three altitudes of a single life.
Read the chapterA long way from the flat sweetness of synthetic vanillin. We buy the absolute, and we say where it comes from.
How we source
The art of gifting
Every bottle arrives as a gift
The signature coffret, a complimentary chapter chosen in your bag, and a handwritten note on request.
The House
Composed in house
Every formula is composed and hand finished in house, from tier one materials whose origins we can name. I write the chapters, weigh the accords and fill the bottles myself. When I cannot verify where a material comes from, it does not go in.
