Chatoyant
Powder rooms and catching a late night show. Glitter on your eyes and ice on your wrists. Sipping a dirty martini in your hotel suite. Flipping through romcoms in your pjs. Chatoyant is dedicated to the care we show ourselves and soft indulgence. The comfort that can sometimes only be found in solitude.
Notes: Holy Basil, Pink Peppercorn, Maraschino Cherry, Patchouli, Labdanum
Aqua Reginae Hungarie
Inspired by the first alcohol-based fragrance in European history, Aqua Reginae Hungarie (the Water of the Queen of Hungary) is a recreation that blends the fresh, herbal elegance of rosemary, lemon balm, and chamomile with a subtle floral heart of rose and orange blossom. I’ve modernized the original formula by incorporating a nuanced brandy accord, capturing the warmth and depth of the spirit that would have carried the perfume centuries ago, creating a fragrance that’s at once historical and timeless.
Notes: Rosemary, Orange Blossom, Petitgrain, Rose, Chamomille, Marigold, Lemon Balm, Comfrey, Barrel-Aged Brandy
The Medieval Bundle
A companion set inspired by my love of medieval history. Aqua Reginae Hungarie is a modern recreation of an extant formula from the 14th century - even featuring a brandy note which was the alcohol fragrance was originally distilled in! On the other hand, Iseult is a love letter to medieval fantasy and literature from the time period. Inspired by Arthurian legend, some Wagner (specifically the Wagner references in Neuschwanstein Castle - not really medieval but gorgeous nontheless), Game of Thrones (inspired by the Wars of the Roses), and the real stories of medieval queens.
