This summer we have been blessed with a great mixture of climes —especially here in the UK.
Our high-summer fragrance selection celebrates the aromas of freshly mown grass, brilliant florals and the all present warmth of earthy woods. The idea is not to focus on any scent in particular, but enjoy them all as a collection; each one a chapter in a greater story being told.
Pacific Rock Flower by Goldfield & Banks
A scent inspired by an oceanic paradise; Goldfield & Banks treat us to a tuberose-inspired melange that’s perfect for warmer climes. The white flowers combine with the salty costal notes capturing both the freshness of the ocean and the gentle warmth of the summer sun. Delightful.
KEY NOTES • AUSTRALIAN COASTAL TEA TREE, MIMOSA, TUBEROSE, AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD
La Valse Hésitation by René Magritte & Lalique
Understandably limited to 250 pieces, La Valse Hésitation is a surreal scent housed in Magritte’s famed apple, elegantly crystalised by Lalique. For the scent within perfumer Véronique Nyberg combines pink pepper and ginger igniting into shiso and jasmine, with amber-woody waves of Orcanox™ forming the base. Truly mesmerising.
KEY NOTES • JASMINE ABSOLUTE, ORCANOX™, SHISO, PINK PEPPER
Platinum Blend by Atkinsons 1799
A departure from the Atkinsons’ 1799 Reserve Collection, Platinum Blend pursues a different route. Perfumer Pierre Guéros combines three chilling accords to recreate the resplendent opulence of an icy night in 1920s London.
KEY NOTES • SPANISH LABDANUM, BELANIS, AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD, TONKA BEAN
Verdant by Eau de Boujee
Beautifully spiced grassy notes give a warm edge to the distinctly green vetiver, making Verdant as emotionally evocative as it is fresh. Renowned for creating scents that get you noticed, this release Eau de Boujee lends weight to their argument as a rising star in luxury fragrance.
KEY NOTES • TIMUT PEPPER, NEROLI, VIOLET LEAF, AUSTRALIAN SANDALWOOD, CONCRETE ACCORD
SAMARi by WIDIAN
A fragrance that captures the warmth of intimate nights spent under the starlit sky of the Middle East, Samar is an oud scent with a difference. Yes, there is that weighty undertone that oud brings, but first and foremost enjoy a smoky-fresh opening of raspberry and pink pepper followed by graceful florals.
KEY NOTES • BERGAMOT, RASPBERRY, GARDENIA, OUD
Midnight Rider by Tulpa CLub
Founded in 2024 by Ajay Sameer, Tulpa Club turns fragrance into stories, combining them with music and art. Midnight Rider has the sweetness of a desert flower, followed by hide-like leathery undertones, with a promise of refreshment in the not-too-distant future.
KEY NOTES • CRUSHED FLORA, CHEWING TOBACCO, DESERT SAND, BLENDED SPICES
BERBER BLONDE by SANA JARDIN
A house that goes beyond fragrance, Sana Jardin uses sales to empower female harvesters in Morocco through education, entrepreneurship, and opportunity. Berber Blonde makes for an apt supporting act; its sunny, uplifting personality is warming, delivering vegan friendly citrus notes of Neroli and Moroccan Orange Blossom. Gentle brilliance.
KEY NOTES • NEROLI, MOROCCAN ORANGE BLOSSOM, MUSK
Hakuna Matata by 27 87
As joyfully free as the name suggests, Hakuna Matata is a fruity-amber scent from the mysterious Barcelona-based fragrance brand. Jasmine sourced from southern China and broom flower lend a floral edge to an otherwise fruity affair, succulently finished with a base of honey.
KEY NOTES • GREEN BANANA PEEL ACCORD, BROOM FLOWER, RIPE BANANA, JASMINE, HONEY
OUDOUS LUX SOLIS by NISHANE
One nosing of this fragrance and it’s clear to see why (at the time of writing) this Harrods exclusive had sold out in store. Rich, soulful and potent, Oudous Lux Solis is NISHANE’s ode to the golden moment when sunlight meets the earth. The scent was elegantly crafted by acclaimed perfumer Jordi Fernández.
KEY NOTES • INDONESIAN PATCHOULI, OUD, ITALIAN MANDARIN, POMELO, MAHONIAL™
Neroli Voyage by Floris London
A reassuringly confident summer scent from stalwarts Floris London, Neroli Voyage opens with a vibrant burst of neroli and lemon, drifting on a sea breeze. The fragrance gracefully folds into a heart of jasmine, ginger, and fennel seed before grounding itself in oak, musk, and amber. A sensual ode to the orange blossom.
KEY NOTES • NEROLI, JASMINE FLOWER, FENNEL SEED, OAK WOOD
(Ludlow) Lull by Gabar
Evoking that liminal moment of unwinding, and the second fragrance in Gabar’s Urban Collection, 05 (LUDLOW) Lull is playfully floral, fruity scent, inspired by the brand’s home — New York City. An ethereal counterpoint to the stereotypes of the concrete jungle, escapism at its finest.
KEY NOTES • ORANGE BLOSSOM, RED APPLE, CHERRY, ROSE, WHITE MUSK
VETIVERIA by ORMONDE JAYNE
A contrast in approach and the second soulful vetiver fragrance in this guide, Ormonde Jayne’s Vetiveria, leans into the grassy notes and freshness opening with a spritz of Sicilian lime and Timur pepper before softening into lavender and grounding in moss. An ode to the vetiver plant, Vetiveria is a celebration of earth’s most elegant grass.
KEY NOTES • TIMUT PEPPER, SNOWBELL, LAVENDER, MOSS ROCKROSE, VETIVER

baobab Cocody Scented Candle
Intricately adorned, you would be forgiven for mistaking this candle for a specially curated vase. Decorated with yellow baobabs on grey glass, Baobab’s Cocody candle is crafted in Italy through delicate sublimation with natural pigments that fuse into the surface, unveiling their richness as the flame glows through. The scent is named after a forested municipality in Ivory Coast, where the last baobab planting took place in the summer of 2024.
Sacred Trees
Pigmentarium Incense Holder
Porcelain transcends function in Daniel Piršč’s incense holder, more art than object, its rounded form and shifting metallic finish distorts reality, while elegantly upholding your scented incense stick. Available in four hues that transform, no two pieces are ever the same; with each surface catching light differently, ensuring a unique expression every time.
