Moroccan Memoir

“After a family holiday in Morocco, I spent weeks rifling through tins of pipe tobacco in a specialist store in Mayfair to find the right base for a scent that evoked the rich, leathery smells we discovered in the mountains.”

Inspired by the scents and scenery of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, this unisex fragrance is built around the aroma of pipe tobacco. Layers of rum, vanilla and hay are topped with cinnamon, ginger and black pepper, wrapped in the woody warmth.

Nostalgia is a form of time travel for emotions, and scent can be the most powerful way to trigger it. For Laboratory Perfumes, a whiff of pipe tobacco can be enough to unleash a fond flood of childhood memories into the hippocampus. So, when it came to determining the base for their fifth fragrance, Laboratory Perfumes chose something very personal – that earthily aromatic tobacco note.

With the help of a knowledgeable but somewhat bemused tobacconist, they went through dozens of different blends and cures in search of the right scent to build upon. The one they settled on had a whisper of the exotic, reminiscent of Morocco, so back in the lab, they introduced supportive layers of rum, vanilla and hay that intensified its North African character. Spiced with cinnamon, ginger and black pepper, and complemented with the warming, woody aromas of fine Cognac, the result is a complex and confident fragrance that unveils intriguing new layers and facets as the day goes on.

Love Potion

 “The chic, minimal packaging hints at its chemistry-set roots while the scent is clean, natural and highly addictive. Move over Love Potion No. 9...”
– House and Garden

The fragrances Laboratory Perfumes create at Laboratory Perfumes often start with a single aroma. In Samphire’s case, it was a young leaf of verbena plucked from a friend’s garden on a spring afternoon. The scent was so arrestingly fresh, Laboratory Perfumes decided to find a way to capture its zesty rush for this, their third fragrance.

A sprig of that verbena was crushed with a pinch of juniper berries from the spice rack – and Samphire began to take shape.

Moving from the kitchen to the lab, citrus oil, flourishes of lavender, basil and rosemary, as well as base notes of white amber and oak moss were blended in to create a bright, cool, aromatic scent with a lightness of touch that belies its complexity and longevity on the skin.

The finished scent was so clearly evocative of the seashore they could only call it Samphire.

Notes: verbena, juniper berries, citrus oil, lavender, basil, rosemary, white amber, oak moss

Morning Coffee is an Essential Italian RItual

This Alba (Dawn in Italian)incense recalls the smell of coffee that gives us the needed kick to start the day, to set our intentions, to rearrange our plans, thoughts and vibrations for the day. It wakes up our senses, body, and mind.

Alba sustainable Incense is formulated with the coffee essential oil derived through a cold-pressed distillation process of the Italian mild roasted coffee beans. The benefits of coffee oil come from its composition of plant sterols, as well as linoleic and oleic acid, among other anti­ inflammatory and antioxidant compounds.

WA:IT incense is made ethically in Awaji lsland with all­ natural Italian origin ingredients, there are many benefits you can reap from this experience, the act of indulging our olfactory senses is more powerful than you might realise.

The idea of aromatherapy is based on the fact that aromatic substances can be used for healing and medical purposes, when we take in a smell, signals are sent to our limbic system, this part of the brain is responsible for memory, emotion, and hormone regulation. Different scents trigger different responses in our brains.
