The Great Work
Alchemists believed that nothing could be transformed until it first surrendered its former shape. What appeared to be the making of gold was, in truth, the making of the soul. These three fragrances follow that ancient path: dissolution, transformation, and rebirth. They are not meant to be understood all at once, but discovered one stage at a time.
After dissolution comes darkness. After darkness, illumination.
Chrysopoeia is the culmination, the goldening of the Great Work—the moment base metal becomes gold, where the soul recognizes itself in the transformation. The alchemists understood that true gold could not be mined or purchased. It could only be it's truest self through patience, devotion and courage.
Chrysopoeia is ethereal, it is bright and it is worth waiting for.
Notes - ylang ylang, rose, vanilla, orange blossom, cucumber, santal, lemon and water.
*Available in 2ml(EDP spray), 5ml(EDP spray), 30ml(EDP spray) bottles as well as 3ml(oil roll on). Oil is blended with jojoba oil.

‘god's an astronaut, oz is over the rainbow and Midian is where the monsters live ‘
My homage to Clive Barker's Nightbreed, Midian is less a cemetery than a sanctuary. Hidden beneath forgotten headstones lies an ancient city where the outcast gather, where candlelight softens stone, incense clings to the air, and the feared are no longer alone. There are places we bury and then there are places we belong and Midian is one in the same.
Notes - fig nectar, dark vetiver, incense, smoke, dust, home

Aqua Regia takes its name from the legendary solvent said to dissolve even noble metals—the impossible made possible. In alchemy, dissolution is not destruction but release: the washing away of everything that no longer serves the work ahead.
Wear it as an invitation to dissolve what cannot follow you.
Notes - cypress, frankincense, guaiac, chamomile, elemi, sandalwood and patchouli

In the deepest ocean, the bottom of the sea…
Weird Fishes is a slow descent—into longing, into surrender, into the quiet pull of something you can’t quite name. It opens like a breath held too long: cool, fluid, and shimmering, before slipping beneath the surface where everything softens and distorts.
There’s a feeling of following—currents, instincts, someone just out of reach. Bright, flickering notes dart like silver bodies in the dark, while a deeper warmth lingers below, patient and inevitable. The further you go, the less you resist.
This is the moment of giving in.
The pull of gravity beneath the waves.
The strange beauty of losing yourself on the way down.
I’d be crazy not to follow…
The second of my fragrances inspired by Radiohead, my absolute favorite of their songs; Weird Fishes/Arpeggi.
Notes - algae, salt water and ambergris
*Available in 2ml(EDP spray), 5ml(EDP spray), 30ml(EDP spray) bottles as well as 3ml(oil roll on). Oil is blended with jojoba oil.

“Or even better... to do something for the man down the stairs. And boy I just wanna do whatseverso he says me to do, Like ifn he told me to take a jumpy outta window I’d surely do, happy as peaches to watch the ground come up to meet me. Or ifn he told me to kill you right right here in the room with my bare hand I’d surely do. Just happy as peaches to watch your heavy heart go pop pop and your eyeses to go all to blood.”
My homage to Longlegs.
Notes - peaches, wormwood, salve, apricots and starched linens

The Great Work
Alchemists believed that nothing could be transformed until it first surrendered its former shape. What appeared to be the making of gold was, in truth, the making of the soul.

Great transformation begins in darkness.
Nigredo, the Black Work, is the stage in which all things return to their essence. Whether by flame or by time, what can no longer endure is stripped away until only truth remains. To the alchemists, this was never an act of destruction, but of preparation. Putrescence and decay become fertile, ashes become soil.
Fire and decay speak the same language: both return us to what cannot be destroyed.
Notes - blackened earth, charred embers, rotting botanicals, smoked herbs

‘Some velvet morning when I'm straight.
I'm gonna open up your gate.
And maybe tell you 'bout Phaedra
and how she gave me life
and how she made it in.
Some velvet morning when I'm straight’

Reclusive and refined. The upper-phantoms of a dilapidated estate on Long Island, so far removed from the days of the debutante and the aristocracy.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a campy piece of 1970s dark satire directed by Russ Meyer. It follows the journey of a band, The Kelly Affair, who venture from their small-town life into the hedonistic excesses of Hollywood. It is a drama wrapped in audacious eye candy in only the way that Meyer can provide. An absolute celebration of the bizarre mixed with voluptuous feminine bodies.
For this piece of eye candy I've created the olfactory equivalent.
Notes - sugared strawberries, whipped vanilla creme, labdanum and patchouli
*Available in 2ml(EDP spray), 5ml(EDP spray), 30ml(EDP spray) bottles as well as 3ml(oil roll on). Oil is blended with jojoba oil.
