Collection: Living Parfums
Botanical Parfum Extraits
Designed to rest close to the skin and unfold slowly over time.
We create our Living Parfums the old way, from pure plants gathered, blended, and rested until they move as one. Some scents pass through the air and are gone. Living Parfums remain quietly, becoming part of you. A single touch can last many hours, sometimes into the next day. Not because it is heavy, but because it is true.
This is not modern perfumery.
It is a return to restraint, craftsmanship, and the living intelligence of plants.
Uncompromising Quality
These concentrated botanical parfums are free of alcohol, water, and synthetics, crafted as true botanical parfum extraits. Alcohol fragrances announce themselves loudly and die quickly. A true parfum stays, because it binds to the skin’s own oils and moves at the pace of the body.
A well-made extrait can be soft, close, and quiet, while still lasting far longer than lighter formats. In the old European houses, this was considered a mark of mastery. If a parfum could still be sensed a day later, softly and intimately, it meant the materials were alive and properly married.
Traditional oil parfums were never meant to be worn like modern sprays. Rather than heavy layering, they are touched to the skin and allowed to unfold intimately over hours.
Uniquely Limited
This collection is limited by nature. Each harvest of plants carries its own voice, shaped by soil, weather, and season. Because of this, each batch will vary slightly in tone and character. No Living Parfum is ever precisely the same.
Usage
Living Parfums are highly concentrated botanical creations. A small amount is all that is needed. Each parfum interacts uniquely with the individual’s skin and chemistry, and we recommend approaching slowly and intentionally. Patch testing is advised before skin application, especially for those with sensitive skin.
-
Skin Ritual
Apply a micro dab to pulse points such as the wrist, inner elbow, or behind the ear. One touch is often sufficient. Allow the parfum to warm on the skin and unfold naturally over time. -
Aura Ritual
Apply lightly to a scarf, clothing, or the ends of the hair. This allows the parfum to move gently around the body rather than resting directly on the skin. -
Grounding Ritual
Warm a single drop between the palms and inhale slowly. This method is often used for presence, centering, or personal ritual rather than adornment.
In the ancient world, anything potent was treated with reverence, instruction, and restraint. Nothing powerful was assumed to be harmless simply because it was beautiful.
Care and Storage
Living Parfums are housed in black glass bottles to protect the botanical materials from light and degradation. When stored with care, these parfums are remarkably stable and can remain vibrant for many years.
These botanicals are living by nature and do best in a home environment. When kept away from direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes, they may endure for decades, often deepening rather than diminishing with time.
Natural variation in scent, color, or texture may occur from batch to batch. This reflects seasonal harvests and the nature of living plants, not a flaw. Each batch is labeled individually, such as 101, 102, 103, to honor these subtle distinctions.
