🪵 The Inspiration: The Stables
The scent of a clean stable: fresh wood shavings and expensive leather saddles. Cedarwood Saddle emphasizes the structural, woody base of the original. It is dry, architectural, and no-nonsense. It is for the person who loves the smell of a luxury woodshop and a new car.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Vertical Wood
The opening is a dry Bergamot and Pink Pepper. There is zero sweetness here. The heart is a massive heart of Virginia Cedarwood—dry, pencil-like, and clean. The Leather note here is dry and structural, acting as a support for the wood. The base is Haitian Vetiver and Cypress, creating a long-lasting, earthy trail.
🌿 Raw Material Sourcing: The Timber
-
Virginia Cedar (Juniperus Virginiana): A dry, woody note that is distinct from the creamier Atlas cedar.
-
Birch Leaf: Adds a green, leathery nuance that isn't smoky.
-
Iso E Super: A molecule that provides a velvety, radiating woody aura.
🧠The Scent Psychology: Stability and Focus
Woody scents are grounding and improve cognitive focus. Cedarwood Saddle is a scent of stability. It projects a reliable, firm personality. It is for the architect, the designer, or the leader who values structure.
🇬🇧 The London Lab Technology
We used Molecular-Fractionation to remove any "sweet" or "damp" notes from the cedar and leather. This results in a scent that is sharp, dry, and professional. It maintains its integrity even in a stressful environment.

💠From the Perfumer's Diary
"This is my 'Power' scent. It's incredibly dry and serious. It reminds me of the interior of a luxury concept store. It doesn't try to be pretty; it just is. It's the most masculine leaning in the collection."
