Discover the soul of our scents—the rare, precious, and beautiful ingredients sourced from every corner of the globe.

An Olfactive Moodboard

Our process begins with inspiration drawn from nature's textures, colors, and forms. This visual moodboard is the genesis of a new fragrance, a story told first through images, then translated into scent. Explore the visual language that inspires our craft.

Floral Notes

Vibrant pink Rose de Mai flowers.

Rose de Mai

Grasse, France

Often called the "painter's rose," its scent is a complex bouquet of honeyed sweetness, fresh green nuances, and a hint of spice. It provides a luminous, romantic heart.

Delicate white Jasmine Sambac flowers.

Jasmine Sambac

Tamil Nadu, India

Unlike its lighter cousins, this is the queen of the night. A narcotic, indolic, and deeply sensual floral with an almost animalic warmth. It is the scent of pure, uninhibited romance.

Wood & Resin Notes

Pieces of raw Mysore Sandalwood.

Mysore Sandalwood

Mysore, India

Considered the finest in the world, this sustainably sourced wood yields an oil that is incomparably creamy, spiritual, and smooth. It provides a meditative, skin-like foundation.

Roots of vetiver grass tied in a bundle.

Haitian Vetiver

Les Cayes, Haiti

An incredibly complex root with a multifaceted scent profile. It is at once earthy, smoky, green, and slightly nutty. Vetiver provides a sophisticated, grounding anchor.

Citrus & Spice Notes

Fresh Bergamot fruits with green leaves.

Calabrian Bergamot

Calabria, Italy

More than a simple citrus, Bergamot is a burst of pure, unadulterated sunlight. Its essence is extracted to capture its unique sparkling, slightly bitter, and floral character.

Spotlight On: Amber

"Amber" in perfumery is a conceptual accord designed to evoke the rich, warm, and golden glow of fossilized tree resin.

An amber accord is a symphony of warmth, typically built from a blend of resins like labdanum, vanilla for sweetness, and patchouli for depth.

The ORA amber accord uses Cistus Labdanum from Spain, ethically sourced vanilla absolute, and a touch of styrax to impart a subtle smokiness.

A Note on Synthesis

Nature & Alchemy

We revere nature as our ultimate muse. Yet, we also embrace the art of the laboratory. Modern alchemy allows us to capture fleeting moments—the scent of rain on hot stone, the crispness of mountain air—that nature cannot yield on its own.

Furthermore, by using certain safe, lab-created molecules, we can protect endangered species (like musk deer or certain sandalwoods) and ensure the absolute consistency and safety of our creations. For us, it is not nature versus science; it is a dialogue between them.

Beauty with Integrity

The beauty of our ingredients is inseparable from the health of the ecosystems and communities that produce them. We are deeply committed to sustainable and ethical sourcing, partnering directly with farms and cooperatives that prioritize environmental stewardship and fair wages. This is not a trend for us; it is a foundational principle.
