Laboratory Perfumes Candle Samphire

The scent was so arrestingly fresh, we decided to find a way to capture its zesty rush for our third fragrance.

We crushed a sprig of that verbena with a pinch of juniper berries from the spice rack – and Samphire began to take shape. Moving from the kitchen to the lab, we blended in citrus oil, flourishes of lavender, basil and rosemary, and base notes of white amber and oak moss to create a bright, cool, aromatic scent with a lightness of touch that belies its complexity and longevity. The finished scent was so clearly evocative of the seashore we could only call it Samphire.
