This botanical perfume oil will take you on a chase to the leisure gardens of Cheverny; to the animalic nature of the hounds, the woody and earthy elements of the many giant linden, sequoia, and cedar, and the comforting warmth of rich interiors, colorful gardens, and other seasonal splendors.
Cheverny Botanical Perfume Oil
PAPYRUS: Also called cypriol, souchet, or nagarmotha, the oil distilled from the roots of this member of the sedge family adds a very warm and dry effect to the perfume. Studded with earthy, nutty facets, we felt this blended well with the subtle spiciness of the amber accord.
GOLDEN AMBER: We’ve used the traditional “amber” accord that contains labdanum - the sticky, leathery, smoky, and warm partner to the sweet and treacle effect of vanillas but paired it with other golden resins to marry the nuttiness of the papyrus.
SPICES: A mélange of warm spices perfumes the fragrance throughout the wear. We’ve chosen complimentary spices like cardamom, nutmeg, a hint of cinnamon, and other niceties to amplify the heart and base accords.
Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, the Château de Cheverny (pronounced shehv-ehr-nee) stands proudly among centuries-old deciduous trees and towering conifers, surrounded by meticulously designed formal French gardens and a sprawling English-style park. This majestic, still-lived-in residence has not only captivated visitors with its timeless beauty but also inspired the chateau in The Adventures of Tintin, with its architecture and grandeur reflecting elements of the iconic Palais du Luxembourg in Paris. Hunting has been an enduring tradition at Cheverny for centuries, with vènerie—the noble sport of hunting roe deer and boar using hounds—forming an integral part of the château's legacy. Today, the estate is home to a renowned pack of over 120 Anglo-French hounds, cared for with a deep commitment to the tradition of the chase. With such a deep connection to the natural world—its ancient trees, rich hunting heritage, and exceptional autumnal displays—it seemed only fitting to craft a fragrance that embodies the essence of this storied estate.
By placing ourselves at Cheverny, we designed a complex scent using plant-based essential oils and compounds that includes Indian papyrus, golden amber, and rich spices to evoke the animalic nature of the hounds, the woody and earthy elements of the many giant linden, sequoia, and cedar, and the comforting warmth of rich interiors, colorful gardens, and other seasonal splendors.
Come on a chase with us to the leisure gardens of Cheverny as we indulge in the richness of an animalic amber blur as we begin the hunt.
Our Cheverny botanical perfume oil is made with skin-friendly, natural golden jojoba oil as well as a complex blend of plant-based oils and compounds that includes Indian papyrus, golden amber, and rich spices. Each perfume is made in micro batches and then aged for a month so you get the strongest and freshest sensations possible.
All of our botanical perfumes, regardless of their format, are meticulously crafted exclusively from natural ingredients. As a result, they exhibit a distinct difference from the customary endurance of synthetic perfumes. Rather than filling the surrounding space with their aroma, our perfumes are designed to envelop and enhance the essence of the wearer and those in close proximity. Their longevity, spanning approximately 2 to 6 hours (sometimes more), is subject to an individual's unique body chemistry—although we commit ourselves to a minimum of 3 hours for a perfume formula, from the initial fragrance unveiling to the lingering traces of base notes on the skin.
In a departure from conventional perfumery, our creations are artfully constructed to undergo a metamorphosis over time. Unlike traditional fragrances that maintain a static olfactory profile, our perfumes evolve and transform, much like the gardens from which we’ve drawn inspiration. This transformative quality imparts a heightened sense of intrigue and complexity, offering the wearer an interesting journey of discovery with every application. What aromatic revelations will unfurl within seconds, minutes, and hours? We invite you to discover the captivating journey we have thoughtfully curated for your enjoyment.
