A fairytale Uzbek city on the Silk Road. Fruits and spices – sophistication and adventure. A journey into Central Asia.

A woody, floral perfume, composed with star perfumer Ralf Schwieger around the enigmatic orris (iris root) – one of perfumery’s most prized and expensive raw materials.

Says founder Nick Steward: “I was incredibly inspired by my journey across Central Asia, and by the Silk Road cities of Uzbekistan in particular. An extraordinary and memorable adventure. Bukhara is the jewel in the crown, a magical place. A city of artisans, an architectural wonder, a beautiful and ancient crossroads and melting-pot. Historically, the Silk Road (between Europe and East Asia) was built on spices that served as condiments, dyes and bases for perfumes, so I was very fortunate to go there, just as this fascinating but unknown country opens up again to the outside world …”
