There’s something quietly intoxicating about late afternoon light in the Hamptons. It’s not just the glow, but the way everything slows down: the glass of wine held a little longer, the laugh that lingers, the skin kissed by salt air and sun. This fragrance captures that exact feeling. Built around an exhilarating trio, raspberry, yuzu, and civet, this perfume oozes with fruity vibrance and animalic tension. read more
Yuzu opens the fragrance with energy, bright, zesty, and just sharp enough to wake the senses. Unlike lemon or bergamot, yuzu carries a subtle floral edge beneath its rind. It doesn’t just sparkle; it fizzes and crackles. Immediately, this brightness is anchored by civet, a drop of animalic warmth. It never dominates. Instead, it suggests.
The raspberry doesn’t scream jam or syrup. Its tart sweetness arrives softly, blooming out of the yuzu and brushed with the floral tones of Georgian rose otto and honeysuckle enfleurage. The raspberry feels dewy, fresh-picked, slightly wild like fruit eaten straight off the vine.
All of this is carried and expanded by white ambergris, which adds a saline, sparkling breeze. The ambergris doesn’t weigh things down adding a mineralic sheen that makes everything glow.
In the heart, the raspberry grows rounder and deeper. It’s joined by gardenia, lending a sourness that pronounces the tartness. Honeysuckle absolute doubles down supporting the raspberry fruit. The florals offer breath, a pause between the playful top and the grounding base. The raspberry becomes something you can feel, not just smell.
What gives The Hamptons soul is the wild Sri Lankan oud in the base. Not smoky, not skanky, but an incredible aquatic breeze. This is a refined oud, a rarity, that doesn’t compete with the fruity top or floral heart but enhances them. It pulls up the juiciness of the raspberry. It catches the salt in the ambergris and gives it a wooded backbone. It deepens the civet without making things too animalic. Think of it as an acoustic reverb for the entire fragrance.
Siberian musk joins this structure with its own clean yet slightly primal softness, while Sri Lankan sandalwood and sandalwood powder bring a creamy, woody scent.
Each 15ml extrait bottle of The Hamptons is priced at $235 a rare offering for a fragrance that contains real wild oud and such carefully sourced naturals. Every bottle is small by design. Meant to be carried, pocketed, kept close. It’s the kind of scent you reach for when you want to feel elevated, something extremely easy to wear.

The creation of The Hamptons began with a clear vision: to capture the playful luxury of sun-drenched coastal living through a unique trio of raspberry, yuzu, and civet. Each material was chosen to balance brightness, tartness, and sensuality.
A natural structure was built around these focal points, layering:
Each ingredient was carefully sourced from respected growers and distillers:
Then I created small tinctures and accords to experiment with balance and concentration, dialing back florals to let the yuzu-raspberry duet shine.
After finalizing the blend, the concentrate was allowed to macerate in alcohol for several weeks letting the ingredients meld and smooth out into a cohesiveness. Once matured, each batch was filtered and hand-bottled.
Yuzu has a scent that is immediately uplifting, radiant, and complex. Originating from East Asia, this citrus fruit smells like a vivid blend of grapefruit, mandarin, and lime, but with a distinctly floral and slightly herbaceous edge. Unlike other citruses, yuzu has a sharp brightness with a creamy, almost green undertone that gives it more depth and longevity.
The animalic musk of civet gives white florals like gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine a more carnal, velvety richness. It deepens the sweetness of rose or honeysuckle, lending the flowers a more romantic, lived-in feel.
White ambergris is considered the most prized and mature grade of ambergris. Unlike the darker forms, white ambergris has spent the longest time aging in the ocean, often for decades. Through sun, saltwater, and oxidation, it loses its marine harshness and develops a rich salty aroma with nuances of soft musk, powdery sweetness, and subtle animalic depth.
Honeysuckle flowers are not only beloved for their sweet, nectar-like aroma, but they also release their scent most strongly at dusk. This twilight blooming pattern evolved to attract nocturnal pollinators like moths.
