Shop the SetFounded 1752. Still writing.
1772
Number Six
Dated by the house to 1772, and once favored by George Washington. Bergamot, lemon, and lime over rosemary and amber — a citrus built when cologne was still a novelty on this side of the Atlantic.
1840
Jockey Club
The scent of the American clubhouse: bergamot and tangerine over geranium and ylang-ylang, grounded in oakmoss and sandalwood. Later a preferred scent of John F. Kennedy. Fit for a president, and worn like one.
Victorian
Elixir of Love
Rediscovered in the house archives: lavender lifted by jasmine and artemisia, anchored in Egyptian musk. Romance as the nineteenth century wrote it — by hand, in ink.
The New Chapter
Heritage 2571
Composed by Laurent Le Guernec. Cardamom and bergamot over orris and cypress, resting on sandalwood, vetiver, and amber. Proof the archive still writes.
After Hours
Distiller's Lounge
Aged whiskey and cut crystal, chestnut turning dry, vanilla that never sweetens, and labdanum holding the room warm long after last call. For those who prefer fewer words and longer stories.
The Coast
Seaboard Matcha
Bitter orange over green matcha and sun-ripened fig, drying to a cool, disciplined vetiver. The calm of the coastline, kept as a habit.
The Sweet Note
Almond
Salted cherry and almond blossom over tonka and sandalwood. Comfort without the sugar rush — sweetness that knows when to stop.
Every fragrance here is also hand-decanted from an authentic bottle in 2, 5 and 10 ml — the whole archive, one small pour at a time.
