1. Santal: best unisex perfume oil for an everyday woody signature
Inspired by Santal 33, Santal brings cedar and sandalwood together with cardamom, violet, leather, amber and iris. It's woody and modern, with a bit of edge and a crips finish. This best-seller is perfect for anyone, every day, and is the ideal choice for your next signature scent.
2. Salt: best unisex perfume oil for a coastal scent
Salt is inspired by Wood Sage & Sea Salt from Jo Malone and is perfectly unisex. With notes of sea salt, sage, grapefruit, ambrette and seaweed, Salt is an aromatic marine fragrance that is both memorable yet refined- reminiscent of a cool coastal breeze.
3. Afrique: best unisex perfume oil for woods with florals
Afrique is inspired by Bal d'Afrique and pairs bergamot and lemon with violet, jasmine, vetiver, amber and cedar. The result is a unique scent that is neither a straight floral nor a straight wood: there is a liveliness, complexity and joy to the scent- all with a grounded warmth in its base.
If Santal feels too dry and Salt too marine, Afrique gives you a third direction without leaving empty handed.
4. Pulp: best unisex perfume oil for bright citrus
Pulp is inspired by Afternoon Swim and is true to its namesake. Bergamot, mandarin and orange set its citrus direction, while ginger adds a slight fresh spice to the heart, and ambergris gives a warm base note to settle the scent on the skin.
Pulp is the pick when you want an energetic opening that isn't too marine like Salt.
5. Sweet Sandalwood: best unisex perfume oil for gentle warmth
Sweet Sandalwood combines sandalwood, cedarwood and patchouli with a drop of vanilla pod. It balances sweet and woody tones, with a musky character that is easy to love and versatile to wear day into night.
If you like woods but find a dry or smoky profile less appealing, Sweet Sandalwood is the friendlier direction to try.
6. Fire: best unisex perfume oil for cosy evenings
Fire is inspired by By The Fireplace. It has complex. unique notes of clove, pink pepper, orange blossom, chestnut, guaiac wood, juniper, vanilla, Peru balsam and cashmeran- creating a true fragrance experience that will transport you by the fire.
It is not our first recommendation for someone looking for an understated choice- Fire is for the bold.
