Raw ingredients are finite, with some being exceptionally rare, resulting in fragrances that are both unique and richly complex.



Among the most renowned ingredients in perfumery is Omumbiri resin, celebrated for its strength and enriching composition, making it a popular choice as a base note. The resin is steam distilled at a community-owned processing center, ensuring that the profits from oil sales directly benefit the local communities.


Omumbiri resonates with the qualities of Carterii, Papyrifera, and Myrrh, offering a complex scent profile characterized by warm, spicy, and rounded sweetness, complemented by fresh, floral, and piney citrus top notes, and deep, woody, resinous, and peppery undertones

These ingredients make the scent both popular and remarkable in unisex fragrances, adding depth and intensity to each creation


Selecting the best ingredients and their combinations is a significant challenge, especially when factoring in production scale and cost. However, the advantage of using natural products is the assurance of well-established quality standards


Essential Oils


An essential oil is a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile chemical compounds extracted from plants. These oils are also referred to as volatile, ethereal, or aetheroleum oils, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were derived, such as clove oil.


Essential oils are termed "essential" because they capture the essence of the plant's fragrance—the unique scent characteristic of the plant. They are commonly used in aromatherapy, a form of alternative medicine that utilizes plant extracts to promote health and well-being.


These oils offer a complex range of aromas, including deep, warm, and fresh floral notes; powerfully resinous with woody, peppery undertones; rich butter and licorice nuances; piney with citrus top notes; and a woody-oriental profile featuring cedarwood and a hint of spiciness, all rounded with an intense touch of sweetness
