Orgeval Garden
Inspired by Paul Strand’s close-up studies of leaves, flowers, and weathered natural surfaces, this fragrance distills the tension between stillness and transformation, permanence and decay. Strand’s photography often reduced nature to patterns, shapes, and tonal contrasts, yet carried an undercurrent of human vulnerability. Here, the scent mirrors that quiet intensity — a garden not in full bloom, but in the soft recession of late season, where petals dry at the edges, light filters through thinning foliage, and the air is heavy with both ripeness and loss: iris, Provence rose, bitter orange leaf, pear, cardamom, clove bud absolute, raspberry, liquidambar.
NEW: Reflective Aromatherapy
Each month, a mindful ritual arrives quietly in your letterbox. A card offers 3 reflective journaling prompts inspired by the turning seasons, encouraging self-discovery, gratitude, and presence. For those who wish, a 2ml vial of seasonal, all-natural botanical aromatic accompanies the card, ready to wear on skin or use in ritual anointing, creating a lasting, multi-sensory experience.
Reflective Aromatherapy blends scent and self-inquiry, offering a gentle pause in a world of digital noise. It is a personal space to breathe, write, and reconnect, gradually forming a collected archive of seasonal reflection and mindful practice.
The Scent of Transition
Villanelle, launched in 2018, is a distinctive fragrance known for its velvety green and earthy profile. It was designed to capture the experience of change and transformation, reflecting the natural cycles that influence both the environment and human life. Inspired by moments of introspection, this scent explores phases that may feel darker or more complex but ultimately lead to growth and renewal. Rather than a bright or purely floral perfume, Villanelle offers depth and subtlety, making it a unique choice for those who appreciate fragrances rich in meaning and character.
As summer gives way to autumn, Villanelle encourages you to welcome this seasonal shift with a blend grounded in richness and complexity. Select one dark aromatic note from our curated list to enhance the original composition. Each addition amplifies the fragrance’s earthy and mysterious qualities, creating a deeper, more enigmatic scent that echoes the changing season.
