Top Notes: MARS opens with an invigorating burst of Yuzu, its bright, citrus sharpness evoking the crispness of outer space. This lively introduction sets a vibrant tone, suggesting the freshness and excitement of a new world. Following closely is Cabrueva, a wood noted for its earthy nuances, grounding the initial zest with its rich, forest-like undertones. Sugandha Kokila, a rare spice from the Himalayas, adds complexity with its warm, camphorous aroma. Together, these top notes spark a journey of discovery, their redolent scents painting the dawn of an adventure.

Heart Notes: As the journey into the fragrance deepens, the heart unfolds with lush, verdant layers. Oakmoss, with its intense earthiness, lays a dense, green carpet. Interwoven with this mossy base are the florals of Rose Trat and Jasmine Sambac, each bloom adding a touch of softness and elegance to the composition. Rose Trat, in particular, enhances the palette with its luxurious, velvety scent, while Jasmine Sambac introduces a dreamy, sweet dimension. Red Frangipani injects a bold, tropical flair, its slightly sweet fragrance adding to the ‘red’ theme. Night Queen, with its powerful nocturnal blooming, brings a mysterious depth, and Orris rounds out this bouquet with its stately, powdery grace. Each heart note is carefully chosen to embody the passionate, vibrant red that is both seen and felt.

Base Notes: The base of MARS is where the magic of the rare Tigerwood 2018 Oud comes to full expression. The blend of the base was initiated over 5 years ago by Yaaseen, just sitting and macerating to maturity over all of this time. Its enigmatic, woody depth sets a dark, resonant foundation. This oud is highly sought out by most collectors because of its deep dark scent and we didn’t cheap out with over 3g of it in every bottle. Complementing the oud is Mongolian Musk, adding an element of the wilderness with its raw, animalic scent. Lotus Blend introduces a touch of floral darkness to the base. Allspice brings a fiery warmth, while Red Meat Mysore sandalwood provides a creamy, robust finish that enhances the longevity and deepens the red narrative throughout the wear.

Our Process

Creating the fragrance MARS involved a detailed and meticulous process, from the initial sourcing of unique ingredients to the final stages of production. This fragrance was brought to life through a collaboration with Yaaseen, which added complexity and depth to the development process. Here is a three-step breakdown of how MARS was crafted:

  • Step 1: Sourcing and Initial Collaboration

    - Sourcing the Tigerwood 2018 Oud: The creation of MARS began with the challenging task of sourcing the last available batches of Tigerwood 2018 Oud. Known for its dark, resinous aroma, this rare oud was crucial for setting the foundational scent profile of the fragrance.

    - Collaborative Development with Yaaseen: Once the oud was sourced, initial samples were prepared with his initial base blend and sent to Yaaseen for review. This collaboration was vital to combine expertise and refine the vision for MARS. Feedback was exchanged through multiple rounds of sampling, where we both discussed adjustments and enhancements, ensuring the fragrance not only met high olfactory standards but also embodied the thematic essence intended for MARS.

  • Step 2: Formulating and Blending

    - Creating the Formula: With the key ingredient secured and collaboration underway, we began the intricate process of formulating and blending MARS. This stage involved experimenting with various concentrations of Tigerwood Oud and integrating it with other selected notes like Yuzu, Cabrueva, Sugandha Kokila for the top notes, and Oakmoss, Rose Trat, and Jasmine Sambac for the heart. The challenge was to balance the powerful presence of the oud with other elements to create a harmonious yet compelling scent profile.

    - Refinement and Finalization: Each iteration of the fragrance was meticulously adjusted based on collaborative feedback. The formulation was refined to ensure that each note transitioned smoothly into the next, maintaining the integrity of the 'red' theme throughout the scent's evolution. This phase was crucial for achieving a balanced and dynamic olfactory experience that would captivate and intrigue the wearer.

  • Step 3: Maturation and Bottling

    - Maturation: After the final blend was agreed upon, MARS underwent another maturation process besides the initial base blend which matured for 5 years! This critical phase allowed the complex components of the fragrance to meld perfectly, enhancing the depth and longevity of the scent. The maturation process was closely monitored to ensure that the fragrance developed as expected, with the Tigerwood Oud integrating seamlessly with the other elements.

    - Launch: With everything complete, MARS was ready for launch. The collaboration between myself and Yaaseen and the meticulous attention to every detail in sourcing, formulation, and production culminated in a fragrance that was not just a scent but an experience, inviting wearers to explore the depths of space and the mysteries of the unknown through the medium of perfume.

Our Ingredients

Red Frangipani

Red Frangipani, also known as Plumeria, is celebrated for its captivating and exotic fragrance, which is particularly intense and enchanting in its red variety. This tropical flower exudes a complex aroma that is a delightful combination of floral and fruity notes. It carries a deep, creamy sweetness that is often compared to that of jasmine or gardenia but with a distinctively spicy undertone that sets it apart. Accompanying the floral richness, there are subtle hints of peach, citrus, and a slight spicy cinnamon-like quality. These layers add a refreshing brightness and exotic complexity to the fragrance, enhancing its tropical character.

Allspice

Allspice, also known as Pimenta dioica, is a distinctive spice that is celebrated for its remarkably complex aroma which encapsulates the fragrances of several spices, including cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper, all in one. Underlying the primary notes are subtler hints of nutmeg and black pepper. Nutmeg adds a soft, nutty, slightly sweet layer, while black pepper introduces a crisp, mildly fiery edge that enhances the spice’s complexity.

Our Quality Speaks For Itself

Fact 1

Red Frangipani (Plumeria) is linked to various cultural beliefs and practices around the world, particularly in Southeast Asian and Pacific cultures, where it is not just admired for its beauty but also imbued with symbolic significance. In Balinese culture, for example, the Red Frangipani is considered sacred and is often used in religious rituals and offerings to the gods. The flower is believed to house spirits and is commonly found in temples, cemeteries, and sacred sites across Bali.

In addition to its spiritual associations, Red Frangipani is also a symbol of love and fidelity in some cultures, making it a popular choice in wedding bouquets and ceremonial decorations. Its resilience, as the plant can bloom even after being uprooted, adds to its symbolic representation of life and enduring love. This blend of beauty, fragrance, and cultural symbolism makes Red Frangipani a plant of profound significance and a beloved element in gardens and rituals worldwide.

Fact 2

Yuzu is highly prized during the winter solstice in Japan, a tradition known as Yuzuyu, where hot baths with yuzu fruits floating in them are taken. This practice is believed to guard against colds, improve skin health, and relax the mind. The fruit's strong, invigorating scent is considered therapeutic and is used to enhance relaxation during these soothing baths.
