Elegy is an aromatic déjà vu where perfumed flowers swirl over elegantly powdered skin. There are beautiful contrasts woven throughout Elegy, expressing the soaring joys and deep sorrow that life entails.

Showcasing some of perfumery’s most prized materials, Elegy starts with a burst of earl-grey tinted Bergamot and Petitgrain accompanied by the gentle warmth of cognac-tinged Geranium. The resulting trichord shines so intensely before fading as quickly as it appeared, evolving into a mournful sigh of late summer Honeysuckle and pollen-drunk Heather Absolute.

Elegy fades to a luxurious swathe of exotic and precious absolutes, musk and slow-burning resins which undulate in perfect harmony – a nostalgic and graceful offering of remembrance.

Enduring and resilient Hay absolute, aged Oud oil and cashmere-soft Patchouli absolute extends a comforting consolation. To fade.

 

Made in Scotland.

Thomas ★★★★★

The bergamot and lavender hit bright at first, but the way it melts into that soft heather and rose is what really got me. I keep catching whiffs hours later, like the scent is playing hide and seek. It's a strange, beautiful idea for a perfume and it works.

Claire H. ★★★★★

I wasn't sure about a fading perfume concept, but the heather and rose absolute actually bloom beautifully with body heat before the ambrette seed softens everything. It's subtle without being weak, and the lavender top note disappears fast enough that it never feels old-fashioned.

John ★★★★★

The drydown really is the star here—that heather and rose fading into ambrette feels like a memory of a scent, not just a scent itself. I've worn it three days straight and keep catching new layers each time.
