This sampler will take you on an armchair visit through Scotland. Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. Mainland Scotland has a 96-mile border with England to the southeast and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the northeast and the Irish Sea to the south. Scotland also contains more than 790 islands divided into four main groups: Shetland, Orkney, and the Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides. From the Highlands to the islands, there are distilleries across Scotland that produce the world's finest whisky which is featured in this sampler. Other featured notes are heather, peat, Scots pine, petrichor, bog myrtle, gorse, tweed and salty sea air.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Freyja’s Daughters Cailleach Perfume Oil - Cailleach (Call-ah), the Irish/Scottish word for Witch is also a figure in Irish/Scottish folklore. We tried to capture the essence of the coastal regions, the crisp winter and the deep tones of Cailleach herself. Our Cailleach fragrance has notes of Moss, Misty Coastal Woods, Vanilla, woodsmoke, Birch bark and Apple. It is a GREEN, marine, and woodsy scent with tiny hints of smoke.
- Jo Malone Melancholy Thistle Cologne - Bold and bright Melancholy Thistle guard a long-abandoned castle in the Scottish Highlands. Entwined with a green freshness, this woody aromatic scent is underpinned by Coolwood to summon the ivy-covered stone walls inside a majestic relic. With a top note of thistle, a middle note of English ivy and a base note of Coolwood.
- Memo Paris Inverness EDP - Inverness is a woody fragrance that launched in 2023. Its very name is intriguing and languorous. It is a land of peat, heather and golden rain, beyond the senses, aptly known as the capital of the Highlands, the largest region in Scotland. Nature reigns free, unspoiled, extraordinary, and the River Ness forges its curves and mysteries. The odors of different varieties of wood rising up from this endless green and bracing empire, each more captivating and fragrant than the last. It leads to deep forests, bare moors, wooded valleys, mossy reliefs, waterfalls, meadows, castles, ruins or other manors. And to a lake where the unknown ripples. It calls for painting. Discovery. It welcomes stone tones between brown and silver, cloudy skies with a singular glow, intense greens or fiery colours depending on the time of year. Smoky woods keep it company. It is called Inverness, and this Scottish town at the mouth of the River Ness knows all that nature can, knows all that it owes her. A form of beauty that comes from the water, from its ample movement, a history in tune with the elements. Time flows here, dense and discreet like amyris wood. It fills the space, and with it, sandalwood, cedar, guaiac, a touch of mate absolute, and a powdery orris butter accentuate its luminous and enveloping presence. A striking, pervasive trail, as if carried by the riverbed on its way to Loch Ness and its silent legend. A fragrance guided by a deep and subtle woody conviction, which keeps its mystery intact, to which we return, as if magnetized. With top notes of iris butter and mate absolute; middle notes of sandalwood and amyris; and base notes of cedarwood and guaiacwood.
- Nui Cobalt Kelpie Perfume Oil - The fearsome trixter of the Scottish countryside who transforms into a seductive woman or a beautiful horse in order to drown its prey. Warm brown leather and hay, twisted driftwood, ancient oak, ambergris accord, and sea foam.
- Sucreabeille Nessie The Puddle Serpent EDP - Nessie tries to stay undercover because she's not a huge fan of tourists. She stayed above the surface for half a second too long in 1934, and she hasn't been able to live it down. She hadn't gotten news of cameras yet, and boy did the tourists start rolling in after that! It does get a little lonely down there sometimes though, so she occasionally pops her head up for a split second to startle people and then she rushes back down out of sight, chuckling all the way. Her other hobbies include singing to the moon on clear nights and spying on little Scottish boats by just barely sticking her eyeball out of the water. With notes of green musk, sea salt, vanilla, sweet lemon zest, water, kelp, tonka, sea moss, dirt and yuzu.
- Vanitas Veritas The Scottish Perfume MacBeth Perfume Oil - This perfume oil inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, evokes the scent of damp stone castles, barrels of aging whiskey, a hint of not yet dried blood, orange and bergamot garlands hung in dark halls, and notes of bonfire and torch flame. Find yourself walking the frigid moors of the Scottish highlands, haunted by your past, with the eerie unsettling wind swirling around you. This fragrance will make you wonder whether witches are gathering just around the next rocky outcrop as you pull your cloak tighter around your shoulders. It features notes of pine, cedarwood, bergamot, orange, vetiver, juniper berry, neroli, whiskey, rose oxide, hinoki, suede, peppermint, oakmoss, tobacco, oud, birchwood and campfire.
