Perfume is a beautiful deception, much like the narratives our minds curate.
The Lies We Wear collection examines this duality, where scent is both illusion and a medium for truth. Each fragrance reveals the stories we carry, the ones we rewrite, and the ones we choose to believe.
Step closer and uncover the meaning behind each scent.
NOSTALGIA
NOSTALGIA
The present is the only moment we truly have. But there is often a longing for another time, When All Things Were Divine. Inspired by this feeling, the fragrance explores the bittersweet nature of nostalgia.
The composition draws on the raw emotionality of natural materials: the richness and radiance of Orange Flower Absolute, the warmth of Benzoin Resinoid from Laos, the melancholy of Orris Butter, and the piercing green bitterness of Galbanum Resinoid. Together, they create something that feels both divine and marked by loss.
When All Things Were Divine holds a sense of self irony. It is crafted from complex natural materials to evoke moments filled with emptiness and existential angst. These are moments in which the mind drifts towards the comfort of an idealised past.

RETROSPECTION
Memory bends. It twists and rewrites itself in real time. The past comes back softer, warmer, wrapped in gold. A trick of the mind, 'rosy retrospection', smooths the rough edges. What was sharp becomes blurred. What was bitter turns sweet.
Rivers of Gold and Nectar captures this feeling like a haze of sweetness and naïveté. It opens with bright, fruity notes of melon, apricot, and peach. Then it sinks deeper into the floral depth of tuberose, accompanied by the warmth of clove, saffron, and vanilla. But there's something darker under it, a subtle sulphuric bite that pulls you back.
The composition is framed by woody oakmoss and sparkling pink pepper, a reflection of the duality between the actual experience and the reconstructed memory of it.
ANTICIPATION
The human brain is wired for perpetual pursuit. As soon as we get something, we want the next thing. We are rushing, making happiness feel like a destination and not part of the experience. 'To have' and 'to get' are more important than 'to be'.
Whispers of Dusk and Silk catches you in this moment of desire and reminds you of the path and the value of simply being.
It opens with Theaspirane, an elusive note reminiscent of herbal tea, paired with the dryness of black pepper. Together, they create a physical 'itch' that mirrors the feeling of wanting.As the initial impression fades, the scent deepens into something earthy. A heart of patchouli, tobacco, vetiver, and moss evokes a sense of comfort.
Whispers of Dusk and Silk is about pursuit, the seduction of the next moment, and the beauty of the present.
