The perfume that breaks all the rules by working completely backwards
Forget everything you know about how perfume works. Inspired by Hermès' legendary Eau des Merveilles, this scent is built upside-down. Instead of bright top notes fading to heavy base notes, Citrine Spell opens with deep woods - vetiver, oak, cedar - then moves through sweet ambergris before finishing with sparkling citrus and pink pepper. It's backwards. It's brilliant. It makes people lean in and ask what you're wearing.
No flowers. None. This is woods, amber, citrus, and spice in a structure that shouldn't work but absolutely does. Mixed in a jojoba oil base instead of alcohol, it wears close to the skin, developing differently on everyone. We call it Citrine Spell because it feels like wearing liquid gold that somehow sparkles. The kind of scent that makes you smell your own wrist all day like a weirdo.
"When I discovered this upside-down structure, it blew my mind. You get grounded with woods first, then it lifts into citrus. It's completely backwards from traditional perfumery. No florals at all. Just warm, sparkling, addictive. I wear this when I want to feel mysteriously excellent."
Why You'll Love Citrine Spell
- The upside-down structure is genuinely unique. Woods to citrus instead of citrus to woods. Your brain keeps trying to figure it out.
- Zero florals makes this truly unisex. Men love it, women love it, everyone wants to know what it is.
- Jojoba oil base means it moisturizes while it scents, lasting longer than alcohol-based perfumes without the sharp opening.
- Complex enough for perfume snobs, accessible enough for people who "don't like perfume." The gateway drug of fragrances.
This Is Why We Do It
"This is mind-bending. I've worn expensive perfumes my whole life and nothing works like this. It starts woody and masculine, then becomes bright and almost feminine, but really it's neither. I can't stop smelling my wrist. My partner steals it constantly. We need two bottles."
The Ritual
Roll onto pulse points and prepare for the journey. First comes the woods - deep, grounding, serious. Give it five minutes. The ambergris emerges, sweet and skin-like. Ten minutes in, the citrus and pink pepper appear like plot twists. This isn't a linear experience. It's a story your skin tells backwards. Reapply when you want to start the magic over. Warning: you will become that person who constantly smells their own wrist.

- Heart: Ambergris

INGREDIENTS
organic jojoba oil, fragrance (our unique blend of vetiver, oak, cedar, ambergris, lemon, orange, elemi, and pink pepper notes)
What does "upside-down" perfume structure mean? Traditional perfumes open with light citrus notes that evaporate quickly, then reveal heavier florals, ending with deep woods and musks that last. This does the complete opposite. It opens with deep woods (vetiver, oak, cedar), moves through ambergris in the middle, then finishes with bright citrus and pink pepper. It's backwards from everything your nose expects. Hermès pioneered this with Eau des Merveilles, and we loved it so much we had to create our own version.
Is this masculine or feminine?Β Neither. Both. That's the point. The complete lack of florals plus the unusual structure makes it truly unisex. It smells different on everyone. On some people the woods dominate, on others the citrus sparkles more. We have couples who share a bottle. We have people buy it as gifts not knowing if the recipient typically wears "men's" or "women's" fragrance because it genuinely doesn't matter.
What does ambergris actually smell like?Β Real ambergris (which we don't use because whales) smells sweet, salty, warm, and weirdly skin-like. Our ambergris accord captures that essence - it's not fishy or marine at all. Think of it as the smell of expensive warmth, slightly sweet, slightly mysterious. It's what makes this fragrance feel luxurious and addictive. It's the bridge note that makes the backwards structure work, connecting the deep woods to the bright citrus.
