30ml / 1 fl. oz
A slow summer noon — white sheets on the line, a Champaca flower opening on the balcony.
The afternoon light comes soft through the window, the breeze lifts the freshly laundered cotton, and the air carries a quiet floral sweetness that never asks for attention — the way it did in a summer you half remember. Noontide Champaca is that unhurried hour, kept in a bottle.
100% essential-oil scent · 11 pure botanical oils & extracts · No synthetic fragrance · Vegan & cruelty-free · Made in Hong Kong
On skin, it opens bright and transparent — Champaca leaf's green crispness with the clean zest of Pomelo, Bergamot and Lemon Myrtle, like a sip of cold water under the sun. Then the heart arrives: real Champaca flower, soft and elegant, resting close without ever raising its voice. Underneath, Orris Root, Frankincense and Guaiacwood dry down like sun-warmed wood and clean cotton. Wear it for slow Sundays, afternoon tea, and days that deserve to move gently.
SCENT PROFILE
Top Notes
Michelia Alba (Champaca) Leaf, Pomelo, Bergamot, Lemon Myrtle
Bright and transparent, with the crispness of green leaves and the clean zest of citrus peels—like a sip of cold water under the summer sun
Heart Note
Michelia Alba (Champaca) Flower
The soul of the fragrance. Soft, elegant, and never overwhelming—like the scent of a flower blooming quietly at dawn, resting gently on the skin
Base Notes
Orris Root, Frankincense, Guaiacwood
Warm and grounding, like sun-dried wood. A touch of airiness lingers, delicate and serene, as the scent gently fades into stillness
FORMULATOR'S NOTE
"This blend uses both the flower and the leaf of the same Michelia Alba tree. The leaf oil is green and citrus-bright, so it opens the perfume; the flower oil is richer and unfolds later — the same tree arriving on your skin in two acts."
— Edmund, founder & formulator
Why Natural Perfume?
The beauty of natural perfume lies not just in its transparent ingredients, but in the way it wears on skin. It doesn’t fill the room or demand attention. Instead, it stays close—light, intimate, and quietly present. Like an extension of your own skin, it moves with you and lingers gently for those who come near. Reapply through the day whenever you want to return — a small ritual, not a flaw.
