Sonnet No.1 15ml

We first made a limited edition of Sonnet No. 1 for the Barnes Fragrance Fair, and the aim was to blend the aroma of Shakespeare's flowers. Shakespeare's first sonnet mentions "beauty's rose" hence the name. To rose - both the absolute and essential oil - we added lavender, beeswax and hay absolutes, and evoke the aromas of lily and violet. It floats on a bed of white musks. This is the most expensive fragrance we've ever made, even topping The Waft From The Loft, although that was a lot more complicated to make. For batch number one we only made 500mls, but we loved it so much we decided to add it to the collection in 2024.

This is the 15ml bottle.
