# In the Studio With Our Perfumer

In the Studio With Our Perfumer Every fragrance begins with a question rather than an answer. In our studio, the creative process is slow, deliberate, and deeply personal. Before a single drop is blended, we explore memories, textures, light, and emotion—searching for the feeling a perfume should leave behind. For The Grammar of Amber, the inspiration was warmth expressed with precision. We wanted an amber that felt luminous instead of heavy, elegant instead of overpowering. The composition was built like a carefully written passage, where each ingredient has a purpose and every transition feels effortless. The opening introduces sparkling bergamot alongside pink pepper and cardamom, creating an inviting sense of curiosity. As the fragrance unfolds, rich labdanum, soft jasmine, and a refined amber accord form its expressive heart, balancing depth with sophistication. Finally, sandalwood, benzoin, vanilla, cedarwood, and musk settle into a smooth, lingering trail that remains close to the skin like the final words of a memorable story. Perfumery is often compared to music, but we also see it as language. Top notes introduce the conversation, heart notes develop the narrative, and base notes provide the lasting impression. Together, they create a composition that is both structured and emotional. Our studio values craftsmanship over speed. Every formula is refined through countless trials until each note contributes to a harmonious whole. The result is a fragrance that feels timeless, intimate, and unmistakably modern. The Grammar of Amber is an invitation to experience amber not simply as an ingredient, but as a language of warmth, elegance, and quiet confidence.
