Artisans
Behind every extraordinary design is an invaluable team of skilled artisans who bring visions to life. Supporting British artisans - whether small businesses or established studios - is at the heart of our philosophy. Their unmatched expertise, creativity, and dedication fuel our collaborations, and we are profoundly grateful for their artistry.

As Louis Mariette eloquently puts it:
"I take my hat off to them."

Liz Dowden

Perfume Director

Liz Dowden's journey in perfumery began in March 1999, evolving from a laboratory compounder crafting small samples to a masterful perfumer. Her expertise spans raw material analysis, quality control, and the intricate art of fragrance formulation.

The synergy between Liz and our creative vision was immediate, a “match made in decadent floral heaven.” With exceptional precision, Liz brought to life an exotic oriental-floral fragrance, enriched with fresh green notes inspired by the Banyan tree’s leaves and a smooth amber accord for depth and longevity. Her artistry ensures this fragrance is as timeless as it is enchanting - truly, love at first scent.

SUSTAINABILITY

Our top team is proud to reduce our carbon foot print on our planet  on the development glass blowing of the perfume bottle. The previous gas furnaces have been replaced with state of the art electric burners using renewable fuel omitting a fraction of CO2 emissions. Our glass has been replaced from lead crystal to the highest quality clear crystal glass called Bomma Cullet. This premium  glass takes 30-40% less melting time, thus reducing energy burning consumption, plus less toxic emanation then lead glass. Plans are being made to install solar panels on the glass studio roof. We are striving towards a greener future.
