LONGOZA








The inspiration for this scent comes from the synchronicity of seasonal scenes, following the transitions in an individual's life journey.

From the depths of winter, it shifts into the tender sprouting of spring—delicate white textures of petals faintly translucent, elegantly rooted in a foreign land by the muddy waterside.

Warm and enchanting notes of cardamom and the spiciness of grains of paradise bloom simultaneously, leaving behind fleeting traces of rocky soil and earthy aromas.

It symbolizes releasing old thoughts and bonds, allowing the inner self to transform and grow a new into a fresh and vibrant essence.

PALO SANTO





This scent carries an overall smoky woody note combined with a mature, sweet resinous aroma. 
Peruvian Palo Santo brings a slight minty coolness that blends harmoniously with the deep and slow-releasing lemon-sweet resinous fragrance of frankincense. Alongside, the peaty note of cypriol evokes the image of wild plants thriving freely in open fields. The base note is grounded by the earthy root-like aroma of vetiver, creating a neutral and balanced scent.









Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens) originates from the tropical dry forests of Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru’s Yucatán Peninsula, coexisting with the vibrant wildlife of coastal forests.

Since the time of the Inca civilization, Palo Santo has been deeply respected in South American cultures and embraced in traditional healing practices. When burned as incense, the dried wood releases fragrant white smoke, traditionally used to purify “mala energía” (negative energy).









The use of Palo Santo is deeply rooted in South American wisdom. We source our Palo Santo from a farm in Ecuador, where it is wild-harvested with a commitment to reforestation, community engagement, and sustainable practices. Please use it mindfully and respect the land from which it originates.

NEROLI






The fragrance primarily highlights the scents of orange blossom, guaiac wood, and patchouli.
The overall scent profile begins with a grounding root-like aroma, subtly infused with a hint of saltiness reminiscent of seawater softened by the tides. As the tide recedes, sunlight gently illuminates delicate white petals, unveiling a fresh and vibrant citrus note intertwined with deep earthy and grassy undertones. The base lingers gracefully, offering a bright yet grounded sensation that evokes clarity and stability.













This touch of salty-sweetness reminds me of sunlight glimmering on the surface of the sea. Inspired by this imagery, we chose salt crystals as a symbol. When salt crystallizes, it forms stable, geometric pyramids, perfectly reflecting the sense of stability that this fragrance seeks to convey.

MIMOSA

Filled with the vibrant freshness of sunlight, the golden blooms of Mimosa (Acacia decurrens) exude a scent reminiscent of passionfruit, orris root, and honey-like sweetness. This is harmonized with the clean, bright notes of orange blossom and sweet orange. The base is enriched by the warm, resinous aroma of labdanum and Siberian cedarwood.

VETIVERT







This fragrance is primarily composed of vetiver, cedarwood, tonka bean, and a subtle touch of ylang-ylang. It exudes a warm, gentle mist-like quality paired with earthy, root-like notes. 

The core of this scent lies in vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides), a plant native to India and Sri Lanka. Its thick, viscous essential oil is distilled from its roots, presenting a refined aroma with profound smoky and tobacco-like nuances. When diluted, lighter notes of lemon and licorice subtly emerge, adding depth to its profile.









“Vetiver smells like the long-awaited monsoon rain, evaporating from scorched earth, a scent that awakens and revives the land.” - Bihari

ROSE






The primary components of this fragrance are Bulgarian rose, myrrh, lime, and guaiac wood.
The bright, clean note of lime leads the opening, while the rose subtly lingers within a green-toned accord. Myrrh’s bittersweet aroma forms the foundation, giving the scent a balanced and neutral character. This fragrance is exquisitely genderless, embodying both freshness and depth.






   





The inspiration behind this fragrance arose from the imagery of love welling up from the heart. Love is envisioned as a crystalline polyhedron—open and unbound, achieving balance through the flow of giving and receiving. In giving, it remains clear, objective, and gentle, embodying a harmonious blend of openness and grace.

TERRACOTTA






The inspiration for this fragrance stems from the imagined scent of Terracotta. It captures the moment when the wind sweeps across the dry, exposed surface of the earth, lifting dust and revealing rugged rocks hidden beneath the sand. The slightly sharp and spicy texture evokes a raw, unrefined atmosphere that feels deeply primal and grounded.

Intertwined within this earthy profile is the warm, resinous sweetness that softens the rugged edges, creating a sense of balance and warmth. Beneath it all lies the wild, untamed aroma of root-like soil—a grounding essence that speaks of nature's raw power and enduring presence. This fragrance invites you to connect with the earth’s ancient rhythms, offering a sensory experience both grounding and evocative.

MOSS





The inspiration for this fragrance arises from the serene imagination of a forest—a tranquil refuge where the world’s noise fades into the background. The second-floor space feels like a secluded haven, isolated from the outside, where the mind finds stillness and clarity gradually emerges after moments of introspection.

The bright and clean zest of lime opens the journey, acting as a fresh and invigorating prelude. As the fragrance unfolds, the gentle sweetness of hinoki cypress and cedarwood begins to bloom, offering a warm embrace that mirrors the calm of sunlit forest canopies. Anchoring the composition is the grounding scent of moss, which weaves a sense of time standing still, a moment suspended in quiet reflection.

This fragrance embodies the forest’s timeless tranquility, guiding you toward inner clarity and stillness while evoking a connection to nature’s untouched serenity.

LINEN







This fragrance draws its inspiration from the experience of stepping outside oneself, observing and reflecting from a distance, as if gazing at one’s journey from afar. It captures the essence of introspection and transformation, blending delicate notes to evoke a sense of depth and renewal.

At its heart lies the finely nuanced and sweet woody aroma of balsamic gurjun wood, serving as the foundation of the composition. Complementing this is the distinctive, rich scent of labdanum, which carries a grounding floral quality, embodying a sense of resilience and quiet strength. Adding another layer of complexity, frankincense resin contributes a light, lemon-like sweetness intertwined with the earthy warmth of pine, inviting a deep and mindful awareness.











   





The overall aroma reflects a return to simplicity and gentleness, embodying the essence of a soul tempered by life’s challenges. It speaks of transformation—a raw and unadorned beauty that emerges after weathering storms, offering a tender yet profound sense of renewal.
