Dark, warm, and grounding.


Umbral opens with a bright spark of Japanese sanshō pepper and star anise, folding smoky woods and tobacco into a calm, steady warmth — a scent of low light and slow evenings. Quietly powerful without being heavy.


Why you’ll love it


  • A warm, textured scent for cooler days.
  • Subtle depth — never cloying or thick.
  • Ideal for someone who loves woody perfumes but wants something more refined.
  • Soft enough for everyday wear.
  • A modern take on “dark” without the weight.

How it feels


  • Long-lasting with a slow, warm diffusion.
  • Sits closer to the skin than most woody scents.

Choose Umbral if you love warmth, wood, and quiet intensity.

In Umbral I was trying to evoke a combination of a silk kimono and a traditional tobacco pipe, combining whisps of smoke with floral prints. For the floral patterns, I used magnolia (champaca), and to create the feeling of silk I combined musks, benzoin and ambery notes for a shiny effect. For the tobacco note, I incorporated a plum accord, which brings out the fruity side of the tobacco, and enhanced it all with sansho pepper CO2, jasmine absolute and labdanum round out the sweetness and bitter notes.
