AFTER THE FLOOD:
THE COMPOSITION
Violet leaf, Water lily, Mushroom, Patchouli, Wet earth
After the Flood is the scent of soil, water, and the delicate stirrings of undergrowth in spring. A contemporary aquatic, After the Flood is both earthy and clean, fresh with hints of loamy darkness. Its delicate green color is due to violet leaf absolute, which flickers in and out of a base of mushroom, soil, and moss like green sunlight though thick branches.

ANABASIS:
THE COMPOSITION
Citrus, Shiso, Birch, Mint, Pine, Cedar, Musk
Anabasis is a long journey upland, a wind through the trees in early spring. Cool and distant, wild and free. Anabasis (from the Greek 'to go upward') is an expedition from the coast to the interior of a country. It is also the title of two great works that describe such a journey, one by Xenophon and one by Saint-John Perse. Anabasis is adventurous and mysterious, bringing the scent of Japanese shiso and mint wafting through a forest of cedar and pine.

BROTHER NIGHT
THE COMPOSITION
Copal incense, marigold, olibanum, wood smoke.
Inspired by the Oaxacan Day of the Dead, it features prominent notes of copal incense, marigold, olibanum, and wood smoke. A perfume that leans heavily into the disjunction between sweet florals and smoke.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN:
THE COMPOSITION
Pine smoke, Incense, Balsam fir, Labdanum, Guaiacwood
The Holy Mountain is a smoky hearth strewn with incense, an enveloping layer of aged wood and resin melting over a core of dry heat. Mysterious and lasting, The Holy Mountain stays with you and around you, a reminder of warmth and sensuality. It includes over seven precious woods and resins along with a rare extraction of Lapsang Souchong tea smoked slowly over pinewood fires.

KARASU:
THE COMPOSITION
Costus root, Siam wood, Hinoki, Smoldering paper, Cardamom
In Japanese mythology, karasu tengu are powerful and vengeful spirits who live in the midst of deep forests, often taking the appearance of crows or of wandering priests. Those brave enough may call upon them through prayer and incense-burning if they are lost, confused, or helpless. Apoteker Tepe’s Karasu combines some of the most traditional raw materials in kōdō, the Japanese incense ritual, to create a fragrance that expresses the spare, transcendent asceticism of a prayer rendered in smoke, dissipating in midair.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
KOGEN
THE COMPOSITION
Yuzu, pear, ginger root, sweet birch, hinoki, peat, vetiver, incense, smoke, hiba cedar, pine needle, green oakmoss, kuromoji (spicebush).
Inspired by Shiga highland forests in Japan. Apoteker Tepe’s Kogen combines Japanese-sourced materials and accompanying selections to convey a crisp forest atmosphere.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
PALE FIRE
THE COMPOSITION
Amber, Olibanum, Oakmoss, Whiskey, Cocoa
Pale Fire is a deconstruction of amber, the first fragrance type to rely on synthetics, but changes this ‘fantasy’ note into something real— the integration of Spanish wildcrafted labdanum absolute and a rare supercritical extraction of Tahitian vanilla. Like the poem which bears its name, Pale Fire exists between appearance and essence, completeness and incompleteness, real and unreal— it is the smell of the feeling the Portuguese call saudade— the longing that remains after a disappearance.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
THE PERADAM
THE COMPOSITION
Madonna lily, Jasmine Grandiflorum, Orris butter, Sandalwood Mysore
The Peradam combines the most precious materials in perfumery for a fragrance of unusual character, depth, and rarity. According to the French author René Daumal, a 'peradam' is an object that only appears to those who seek it. For those who have been seeking the most precious and rarely experienced raw ingredients in perfumery, The Peradam combines a rare SCO2 extraction of Jasmine grandiflorum, real orris butter, and sustainably harvested Mysore Sandalwood into a fragrance that is warm, enveloping, uniquely addictive, and impossible to find elsewhere.

THE SCENTORIUM MANIFESTO: Art Resists Fragmentation
Scentorium does not merely retail fragrance. We function as a curated gallery dedicated exclusively to artisanal olfactory art. Our portfolio is ruthlessly filtered, featuring only independent houses that create with absolute intention, rarity, and vision.
We respect the craftsmanship of independent perfumers too much to compromise their creations. Therefore, we operate on a singular, uncompromising principle: The Purity of the Original Experience.
The Threat to the Olfactory Vision
An artisanal perfume is a delicate, perfectly balanced ecosystem. The exact moment the liquid is extracted from its controlled environment on the grey market—exposed to oxygen, light, plastic syringes, and inferior glass vials by unauthorized resellers—its olfactory profile is irrevocably damaged. The top notes oxidize, the base degrades, and the artist's original vision is obliterated.
This is why Scentorium categorically condemns the fractional grey market. It strips perfume of its pedigree and turns art into a compromised commodity.
Our Rules of Engagement:
- Zero Compromise on Full Bottles: We exclusively retail full bottles exactly as designed, sealed, and shipped by the creator. We assume zero responsibility for any product purchased outside our official network.
- The Provenance Guarantee: Purchasing from Scentorium ensures the fragrance traveled straight from the perfumer’s atelier to your hands within a flawlessly climate-controlled, unbroken chain of custody.
- Right of Refusal: Any client identified as purchasing from our portfolio with the intent of fractional resale on unauthorized platforms will permanently lose the privilege of acquiring works through Scentorium.
The Authorized Sampling Program: Exploration with Respect
We recognize a fundamental truth of artisanal perfumery: true masterpieces cannot be rushed. They require time, skin chemistry, and intimate exploration before committing to a full bottle.
The solution to this is not the illicit fragmentation of art. The solution is absolute transparency and control.
To honor the discovery process, Scentorium provides an Authorized Sampling Program.
We offer official discovery sets crafted directly by our partner houses. For exceptional brands that do not produce their own official samples, Scentorium bridges the gap—but we do not operate in the shadows.
Every custom Scentorium sample is created with the explicit, formal authorization of the parent brand. We do not "decant."
We perform authorized extractions using clinically sterile glass instruments in a strictly climate-controlled environment. This ensures zero cross-contamination, minimal oxygen exposure, and the perfect preservation of the scent profile.
We provide these authorized extractions for one reason only: pure olfactory discovery. They are curated tools designed to lead you to the complete artwork, not commodities meant for endless fractional resale.
Experience the creator’s true intention.
Do not settle for unverified fractions.
