So fresh, so clean

Spicy scents are often an olfactory signature of winter bouquets. And look, while we love smelling like a sexy cinnamon stick in the evening, during the day we prefer a lighter take on all things fragrance.

We’re cleansing our palettes with a selection of cold snap-complimenting colognes that promote the kind of ‘so fresh, so clean’ vibes that takes us right out of our seasonal depression with a mere inhale.

This is your initiation into the world of refined, clean-scented fragrance. Welcome.

HERMETICA Jade888 EDP

Inspired by the Amazon rainforest, this blooming, green fragrance touches on notes of florals and refreshing spicy extracts like green musk, lily of the valley and ginger. Violet and pear offer a clean-cut experience of comforting cedarwood and cashmeran.

Lubin Gin Fizz EDT

Could we offer you a light gin-infused spritz? Inspired by the botanics of a traditional gin fizz cocktail, notes of citrus, tangy fruit and white blossoms form a refreshing blend grounded by touches of musk.

Art Meets Art Like A Virgin EDP

Radiating an ‘untouched’ vibe that’s eternally clean and pure thanks to top notes of salt-spray and citrus, this angelic olfactory restores with heart notes of freesia, peony, rose, and paradisone. Musk and wood accords round out the immaculate blend.
