American-born Sarah Baker has resided in London for a long time. As well as being an artist and film-maker, she has also developed perfumes at the Institute for Art and Olfaction in Los Angeles. Collaborating with other creatives at the top of their game really seems to light Sarah Baker’s fire, so the first collection in 2016 found her working with perfumer Ashley Eden Kessler, and 4160 Tuesday’s perfumer Sarah McCartney. In 2018, Sarah collaborated with fragrance writer Miguel Matos for a limited edition scent called Jungle Jezebel – a limited edition design concept that saw the bottle adorned with drag queen-esque eyelashes. These fragrances are bold, distinctive, and not for the faint of heart.

This is patchouli like you’ve never smelt before – fresh, aromatic and elegant. Delicate notes of iris resin and violet leaf add a soft, powdery, vintage-like quality that’s brightened with ambroxan and patchouli heart to create a clean, aromatic fragrance with a distinctly timeless quality.  This is patchouli made modern.

 

 

Ostens illumination jasmine candle

Ostens Illumination Jasmine Candle: Was £65 NOW £32.50

Before sunrise, the white, star-like blossoms of Egyptian Jasmine Grandiflorum are hand-picked from fields near the Nile Delta. The delicate flowers are laid in palm-branch boxes, allowing them to breathe on their journey to becoming our Jasmine Absolute. This abstraction of thousands of petals has an unmistakable scent that builds from stem-like and alive, to dense, sensuous and warm – almost carnal. Lighting Illumination Jasmine will transport the radiant scent of night jasmine drifting through open windows on a warm Mediterranean summer evening, into your home. Presented in an elegant mouth-blown scalloped glass, our hand-poured wax blend enables a perfect burn and the finest fragrance diffusion.
