The Estate
The house has both a west and east wing, grounds long since let go, and a jetty on the south shore. Start anywhere.
East Wing · No. 01
A low fire, a full glass, and the kind of warmth that makes you stay long after you meant to leave. The room you retire to after dinner to unwind.

Woodsmoke, hazelnut, caramel & tonka bean
East Wing · No. 02
Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a comfortable wingback armchair, rain softly hitting the windows. Old leather, older paper, and a silence thick enough to write in.

Fresh hay, tobacco leaf, oudh & leather
West Grounds · No. 03
Abandoned long ago, this sits at the back of the manor and is slowly overgrown. Broken terracotta pots scattered on the walkways, dense green plants running wild, one solitary bush determined to grow its last flowers.
Enter The GreenhouseFragrance Notes
Green leaves, eucalyptus, wildflowers & patchouli
South Shore · No. 04
Salt air through an open door, paint peeling on the old wooden door frame, the sound of waves lapping gently on the shore outside.
Enter The Boat ShedFragrance Notes
Sea salt, coconut, jasmine & sandalwood
Lower Grounds · No. 05
Rows of old fruit trees, gnarled and heavy with pears no one has come to pick. A ladder still leans against one trunk, as if someone meant to come back for it.

Cinnamon, green pear, honeysuckle & amber
West Wing · No. 06
Incense caught in the stone walls, grey light filtering through the stained glass, someone long ago has draped a black cloth over the altar. A heavy silence fills the room.

Rose, saffron, clove & musk
East Wing · No. 07
Large glass doors open out onto the grounds, the bright morning sunshine beaming into the one room that light hits first.
Enter The Morning RoomFragrance Notes
Lime, orange, jasmine & sandalwood
West Wing · No. 08
Powder spilled across the vanity, a tattered silk gown is draped across the old chair. Whoever got dressed here obviously stepped out a little while ago.
