This season, our house quietly steps into the world of fragrance with the launch of three considered parfums: Côte Ramatuelle, Monsieur Chic, and Oud Raffiné. Created in Grasse, the historic heart of French perfumery, and produced in small quantities, each scent is designed to become part of how you live – refined, understated, and deeply personal.
Grasse is more than a location; it’s where the world’s finest perfumes have been made for centuries. Its unique climate, surrounding fields of lavender and jasmine, and generations of perfumers give it a rare kind of depth – an instinctive knowledge passed from hand to hand. It was the only place we could imagine crafting something like this. And with a master nose by our side, each fragrance in the collection was developed slowly and deliberately, using exceptional raw ingredients and a lightness of touch.
This project began not as a product idea, but from something more personal. Years ago, Brett travelled to Grasse with his late wife Sarah, who had a lifelong love of fragrance and an extraordinary personal collection. That trip quietly shaped what was to come. “She had an immense and profound love for fragrance,” Brett recalls. “I’m grateful to have had the privilege to create something so unique, intimate and meaningful with her – and I hope the love we shared and put into each fragrance resonates with our clientele.”
These aren’t loud fragrances. They don’t shout, or change who you are. But they do shift something – gently. They allow you to carry a certain presence, a mood, a memory, without needing to say much at all.
Côte Ramatuelle is for clarity. It opens bright – citrus, peppermint – before softening into cool mint leaf, lavender, and warm notes of sandalwood, vetiver and incense. There’s something coastal about it. Not a beach holiday, but that sense of calm stillness you feel when you’re near water and the world hasn’t quite woken up yet. It’s something to wear when you want to feel fresh, light, and completely at ease in your own space.
Monsieur Chic carries more structure. The top is dry and green – cardamom, cypress – with lavender and geranium softening the middle. Below, patchouli, cedar and musk hold steady. It feels crisp and elegant, without being too serious. It’s the sort of scent you wear without thinking about it too much, but others will notice. It stays with you, in a quiet way. A perfect everyday signature, if you like your fragrance to be present, but never overwhelming.
Then there’s Oud Raffiné, which moves slower and deeper. Juniper and lavender open the scent, before giving way to jasmine, cedar, oud, tobacco and a soft trace of vanilla. It’s warm, polished, and quietly confident. Something you might reach for in the evening, or on days when you want to feel a little more grounded. There’s richness here, but it’s never heavy – everything is carefully balanced.
