'Frank' is of course Frankincense - one of my top five notes - here blended with myrrh and lemon. Frankincense trees from Somalia are the best, but under threat due to a combination of war and drought. This fragrance supports the people of Marda Moge and helps build nursery sites to protect the future of the people and their precious trees! The scent is perky rather than dusty - the furniture polish has been replaced by a fine, freshness. Original and delicious!

Fragrance House

A socially, ethically and ecologically astute label, that works with indigenous peoples to ensure that the plants are farmed responsibly and the environment protected, thus promoting social, economic and ecological resilience.

There are eight fragrances in the collection and each is centred around a strong, single heart-note. When a scent is a diva, and exceptional in every way, it is a mistake to surround her with a choir. She needs to be given room to perform.

These fragrances shine a spotlight on quality, the very best vanilla note, the finest cedarwood and most seductive sandalwood etc. This is perfume as it should be - not olfactory cacophony, but a streamlined, symphony of scent.
