A deer in the garden
The rose
was not searching for the sunrise:
almost eternal on its branch,
it was searching for something else.
The rose
was not searching for darkness or science:
borderline of flesh and dream,
it was searching for something else.
The rose
was not searching for the rose.
Motionless in the sky
it was searching for something else.
Casida de la rosa, Federico García Lorca

The core of the project. Sourced from Kashmir and Siberia and worked by hand. Part of it was used to age the Turkish Sultan Qaboos rose for two years; the rest is used neat. It brings out the sensual softness of rose and sandalwood, but also their glorious bite. Animalic notes, sweetness and a hazy, almost woody warmth. It gladdens and strengthens the heart.
SandalwoodSinking-grade sandalwood: wood so rich in oil that it sinks in water. From it comes an oil of rare quality, creamy and seductive, that rounds out and lifts the notes of the rose aged in deer musk. Together, they form a floral, musky bouquet, simple in structure yet endlessly complex in its nuances. It sparks the imagination and creativity, and melts tension away.
LaurelThe green element of the fragrance, standing alongside the roses as if crowning them. It's behind the slightly sharp, dissonant opening that invites you to surrender to the stunning complexity of this rich bouquet of rose and animal musk. It clears the mind and honours the poets.
