Komorebi
$12.00
Visit product page →New perfume that captures the wonderful scent that can be experienced in late summer and early autumn in the Pacific northwest rainforests: It emanates from the sun-dappled fragrant forest floor on those warm days when the sun brings out the sweet smells of redcedar, moss & Douglas fir…
If the word "Petrichor" describes the smell of the parched earth after the rain, then this perfumeaccurately captured the wonderful cedrechor scent - "blood of the cedar" - the smell of the forest after the sun. Cedrechor can be experienced in late summer and early autumn in the Pacific Northwest rainforests: It emanates from the sun-dappled fragrant forest floor on those warm days when the sun brings out the sweet smells of redcedar wood chips on the forest floor, mingled with antlered perfume (another name for oaks) and Douglas fir needle.
It's the Pacific Northwest equivalent of the Meditteranean "Garrigue" (the intoxicating odour of sunbaked earth and scrubland, dominated by sage and labdanum), and in my mind I've been describing it as "Forest Amber" or "Pacific Chypre". But non of these names seemed to capture the magic quite as perfectly. So I've reached out to the Japanese language, which has a special word for the interplay of light and leaves, which includes the sunbeams one would observe coming through the trees and shedding light on the vapour they exhale; as well as the dappled-gold forest floor, a vision that is shifting yet constant, as long as the sun is there. This is the essence of komorebi in the Pacific rainforest.
This perfume is the first in a series of perfumes dedicated to special places in the Pacific Northwest. Place of inspiration: Cathedral trail in Xwayxway (Stanley Park)
Notes: Redcedar, Fir, Oakmoss, Black Cottonwood
Fragrance Families: Woody, Ambery, Chypre

Mastic Soap Bar
Sold out
Visit product page →This fantastic soap bar is made from olive-oil and water infusions of mastic (Pistacia lentiscus) in all of the soap's phases - both the leaves and the gum, creating a beautiful bar of soap, with a crisp, green, fresh and wonderfully woody aroma. Mastic also has anti-oxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties; and is also good for inflamed and cracked skin as well as eczema.
Like all of our soap, it is superfatted - which means it has wonderful moisturizing qualities due to high content of unsaponified oils within the formula. It is the same rich-lathering formula we've always had for our soaps, now handcrafted in our new studio in Clil by yours truly!
We're using olive oil that was cold-pressed from olive which were organically grown in a Druze village near Mt. Meron infused with mastic (Pistachia lentiscus) leaves and resin; Oganic virgin coconut oil (both are food grade quality), palm oil and castor oil for that extra emollient quality.
The result is a hard, long-lasting bar with rich lather that is very moisturizing - a real treat for your skin, hair and even for shaving; and with a vibrant mastic fragrance.
Ingredients: Saponified vegetable oils (coconut, olive, palm, castor), water, mastic (Pistacia lentiscus) leaves and resin -

May Meron
Sold out
Visit product page →Mt Meron is a holy mountain in the Western Galilee, the second highest peak in all of Israel. Oak forests and regal Cedars of Lebanon grace its evergreen slopes, and its peak is usually shrouded in clouds, fog and mystery. It is home to unique vegetation, some plants that are found nowhere else in the country, which grow on a bed of quartz crystals, nonetheless.
May Meron are cleansing and purifying waters, made in the tradition of Aqua Mirabillis - the miracle waters of Medieval Europe, in the early days after the discover of alcohol distillation. This fragrance is inspired by an autumn pilgrimage to Mt. Meron, which is abundant with wild medicinal herbs, Medronho berries, and saffron crocuses. These healing waters were born out of a collaboration with Jullius Craft Distillery and are the perfume interpretation of the magical and healing Jullius Bitters, which are redolent of wild herbs such as white mint (Micromeria fruticosa), sage, myrtle and mastic.Apply these Mt. Meron Waters just as you would any perfume, as well as in rituals for their protective, grounding, warming qualities, or for purification at the beginning or end of a healing ceremony.
Top notes: Bitter Orange, Bergamot, Etrog Tincture, White Mint (Micromeria fruticosa)
Heart notes: Varthemia, Vitex, Sage, Saffron
Base notes: Cedar, Tobacco, Cistus, Mastic ResinFragrance Families: Aqua Mirabillis

Musk Malabi
$18.00
Visit product page →Malabi, the queen of Middle Eastern summer desserts, is a milk pudding served chilled and bejewelled by a fragrant rosy syrup. But what always captured the perfumer's imagination the most about malabi was its soft, evocatively sounding name, and its unique fragrant combination of rosewater and neroli. Two noble flowers, yet so distinctively different that it's surprising they would ever get along at all. Rose is open, voluptuous, sweet and feminine. Neroli is prim and proper, restrained, clean, ethereal and otherworldly that you'd be surprised it grows on a tree. And what holds these two together is nothing but pure, botanical musk. This gentle deer-musk-like accord doesn't need arrows, and plays the harp better than cupid: it walks silently and pulls all the strings with effortless fluidity.
Top notes: Bitter Orange, Blood Orange, Cardamom, Coriander
Heart notes: Neroli (Tunisia), Orange Blossom Absolute, Rose Absolute (Bulgaria), Rose Absolute (Turkey),
Base notes: Atlas Cedarwood, Musk Notes, MyrrhFragrance Families: Floral, Gourmand
