Stag
The roaring is done. The king of the wood wears his crown in the quiet.
The red stag of the Gaelic hills, met in the weeks after the rut, when the oak wood turns gold and the forest settles around him. Cold pine at first light, orange blossom and hay in the low sun, and at the center the Deer Musk Pod Accord, the house rendering of perfumery’s oldest treasure, warm with the leather of the pod itself.

The $99 pre-order price holds for every 15 mL claimed during the opening window. Each box arrives with a vial of another house fragrance, and you can tell me which one you want. Bottles are filled, capped, and rested by hand, then sent out in the order they were claimed.
Every material, named and accounted for
Seventy five raw materials sit in the house ledger, each one photographed and sourced. These four are the most precious things I buy.
Meghalayan oud
Wild Aquilaria from the Khasi hills. The resin forms only where the tree has been wounded, which is why so little of it exists. In Red Hare.
Fifty year Santalum album
Indonesian heartwood, aged half a century before it ever met a still. Time is the only thing that makes it smell this way. In Bastet.
Orris butter
Iris rhizomes dug, dried, and left to rest for years before distillation. The scent does not exist in the fresh root. Only time makes it. In Bastet.
Castoreum
Taken from beaver already trapped, never from an animal killed for scent. Dried, aged, and tinctured slowly. Leather and birch tar without a drop of either. In Badlands.
Perfume Incarnate.
Ashenfume began as a rebellion against scents that were overhyped, overmarketed, and then locked away by collectors who never let anyone smell them. Fragrance should be a shared passion. So I build each one as a legend you can wear, poured from the finest materials I can find.
