Omixochitl, the Aztec name for tuberose (Agava amica), means "Bone Flower", alluding to its white colour and nocturnal behaviour, and use in funeral rites. Tuberose is a haunting flower with a complex profile, narcotic, simultaneously heady, creamy and smooth, redolent of high-pitched blossoms and undergrowth.
Guided by the philosophy that what grows together goes together, an especially creamy and intense batch of tuberose was paired with other botanicals indigenous to the region: in-home infusion of copal oro resin, palo santo and vanilla absolute, balanced by the freshness piñon pine, and a bitter-herbaceous white sage.
Each rectangular tin contains approximately 10 grams of long lasting and concentrated tuberose solid perfume.

Inbar is Hebrew for amber, and is a fresh interpretation of a genre that tends to be syrupy sweet, powdery and linear. Here it's been given some oomph with herbaceous Garrigue notes that cut through the old-fashioned ambreine accord: wild oregano oil and tincture of sharp varthemia that I foraged and prepared myself from the mountain on which my studio is built.
Top notes: Bergamot, Wild Oregano
Heart notes: Jasmine, Rose, Clary Sage, Varthemia, Propolis
Base notes: Labdanum, Vanilla, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Hyraceum

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),
