No Mow May 30ml

The aromas we get in suburban London gardens and parks when blossoms are given the chance to smell fruity, honeyed, sweet and animalic. With patchouli, hay and vetiver for the earth. Green leaves, hay, honeyed rose and fruity amber; May, in a bottle.

No Mow May is the scent of the renewal of life, hope, and the return of the sun - and it received an honourable mention at the 2025 Art & Olfaction Awards. The judges clearly felt some of that warmth.

In the UK, during May everyone is encouraged to let wildflowers grow to feed new generations of wildlife; grass grows, flowers feed the insects which feed the birds, and seeds spread for the future. 

Of course, there's always a huge fuss from the Hyacinth Buckets who think it looks untidy and want everything trimmed to 2 cm from the ground. They’re the ones I met while campaigning for the Green Party who also want trees cut down because leaves fall on their Mercedes. (I don’t think they know where oxygen comes from.)

All of our fragrances have a story. Here is the story of No Mow May:

No Mow May was one of Sarah’s Scenthusiasm Patreon fragrances which means that she has published the formula for subscribers. It was created to celebrate the scent of spring in the UK where lawns are allowed to grow long to feed wildlife and generate new flowers. It's mixed media. Biodegradable molecules, with natural essential oils and absolutes.

We decided to enter it into the 2025 Art & Olfaction Awards because it was voted favourite 2024 Scenthusiasm fragrance, and we were delighted that it got an Honourable Mention by the judges at the awards.
