FAQIs it a copy of the fragrance that inspired it?
Is it a copy of the fragrance that inspired it?

No. We start from a fragrance we admire and build our own blend toward the same idea, with our own materials. We do not claim it smells identical to anything, and we are not affiliated with the house that made the original. Whether it is yours is a thing only your skin can answer, which is what the sixty-day guarantee is for, even on an empty bottle.

What if I don’t love it?

Then it goes back. You have sixty days, and an empty bottle counts. Fragrance is personal; we don’t want a bottle sitting unloved on your shelf. The full promise is on the strip just above, and on the returns page.

How long does it last?

Every bottle is extrait de parfum, the strongest standard concentration. Most of our scents wear eight to twelve hours. They stay close to the skin the first hour, then open across the day. Each scent page lists longevity and projection under The Scent, Hour by Hour.

Will it smell the same on me?

Not exactly, and that is true of every perfume, the original included. Skin warmth and chemistry shift how the opening sits, so it may read closer or brighter on you than on a friend. That is what the sixty days are for: wear it on your own skin, not a paper strip. If it never becomes yours, it goes back.

What size is the bottle?

Every scent comes in one size: a 50 mL Extrait de Parfum, poured at full strength, nothing diluted down to stretch a batch. That is months of daily wear. One size keeps every batch small and every pour fresh.

How is it made?

Vegan and cruelty-free, always. Hand-blended and bottled in the USA, in small batches, with each bottle poured to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse.

What alcohol do you use?

Food-grade ethanol, the same grade used in fine spirits, and never denatured. Denatured alcohol carries additives that can read harsh on skin and sharp in the opening notes.

How fast does it ship?

Your bottle is poured to order. You get tracking the moment it leaves the workbench. Free US shipping on orders from $150. Standard shipping is $7.95 below that. The $3.99 package protection is optional. Add it in your cart if you want it.

Will it spill in a bag or in shipping?

No. The atomizer is crimped to the bottle, not threaded. So nothing works loose on the way. The magnetic cap seats itself and stays put. It travels sealed: in the post, in a coat pocket, in a carry-on.

Typical on skin. Both vary with your chemistry, the weather, and how much you put on.

The Tale

Sweet without being childish; cinnamon bark and cardamom keep the gourmand grown-up. Orange blossom opens the bottle bright. Then bourbon vanilla pours through the heart like something warm being passed across a table.

Wears close in the first hour, then a dry-down of praline and guaiac wood that lasts an evening. The cozy scent in the lineup; the one made for indoor weather.

Vanwood is the bottle for the long quiet hours when the candles do all the talking.

Winter mornings and slow days in the library. Holiday dinners, and the birthdays that fall in December. A bedroom scent and a Christmas-Eve scent. Pairs with cashmere, wool, the smell of woodsmoke from somewhere else.

The Ritual

Two sprays, not five, to warm skin.

  • A study of an ear and jaw, with a curl of scent rising: apply behind the ear.Behind the ear
  • A study of a throat and collarbone, with a curl of scent rising: apply at the base of the throat.Base of the throat
  • A study of an upturned open wrist, with a curl of scent rising: apply inside the wrist.Inside the wrist

Never rub: let it dry. Layer on a scarf, not the skin.
