Making fragrance sustainable
Capturing the scents of the garden
Fragrances have traditionally been made by cultivated fields and fields of flowers, then harvesting and pressing them to create very small volumes of the oils used in fragrances and soaps.
Using IFF's (International Flavors and Fragrances) proprietary fragrance capture technology we've captured the scents of the garden without harming the flower. Placing a glass globe, or "headspace", over the blooming flower at its peak we insert a small rod into the heart to extract small amounts of fragrant pollen. We then work with Master Perfumers to duplicate the scent.
All while leaving nature exactly as we found it.

WILD BERRY, PINK PEONY & SWEET AMBER
PEONY PERFUME
Peony is sheer pink bliss: a beautifully sweet peek-a-boo between juicy wild berries and pink peonies, wrapped in sweet greens.
This living floral fragrance was captured from a Paeonia lactiflora that blooms late spring along the perennial garden walk at The New York Botanical Garden.

ROSE PERFUME
Graceful yet effervescent, our Rose Perfume opens with a cocktail of sparkling bergamot and tart black currant that set the stage for the dramatic rise of sweet wild fig and the star, the Heritage Rose.
An earthy vetiver base and a trail of musk amplify the romantic sensuality of our signature feminine rose floral perfume.
