A simple smell can bring back a flood of memories, influence your mood or even improve work performance. This is because smell is the only sense that can affect the memory and emotional part of the brain. When we first smell a new scent we subconsciously link it to an event, a person, a place or even a moment, our brain forges a link between the smell and the moment so when we smell the scent again the link is already there, ready to call up a memory or a mood almost instantaneously.
Our collection is built on this powerful link, each fragrance calling up that special memory of a place, person or moment. Introducing our products to your home will fill it with happy memories of times spent in Northumberland, lifting the mood for you, your family and your guests.
OUR COLLECTION
The Cheviot fragrance is inspired by the climb through the wild romantic landscape of the Cheviot Hills. A shimmering, ozonic herbal fragrance where crisp rosemary leaves are uplifted by cool mint and heather, smoothed and enriched by gentle cedar and amber nuances.
​
Otterburn is a small village in the heart of the Redesdale Valley. The village is best known for its Woolen Mill and distinctive Otterburn Tweed Pram Rug. The rugs became famous in 1926 when Princess Elizabeth,our current Queen, was kept warm in her pram under one. Our Otterburn fragrance reflects the aroma of freshly laundered linen. It is a fresh, clean, floral accord with sparkling citrus top notes leading to a floral heart, resting on a base of musk and woods.
ALNMOUTH ESTUARY
BEADNELL DUNES
While Alnmouth is best known for it’s picture postcard pastel cottages, long sandy beaches and the oldest links golf course in England, it is the estuary that has inspired our fragrance. Alnmouth Estuary, where the River Aln empties into the North Sea, is home to the largest salt flat on the North East coast and the most northerly British colony of seaweeds.
Alnmouth Estuary is a refreshing clean blend of ozonic top notes of moss and sea spray leading to a heart of marine and lavender all resting on a base of sea herbs and amber. This coastal fragrance transports us to standing on the stone bridge looking over the salt marsh to the estuary, inhaling the salty herbal aroma.
Beadnell Dunes, known locally as Annstead Links, is a protected nature reserve covering over 50 acres between Seahouses and Beadnell. The area is made up of mature dunes and paddocks which are covered with wildflowers in spring and summer and herb rich grassland in autumn and winter which is grazed by Exmoor ponies.
Our Beadnell Dunes is a fresh scent blended with green herbal accords and an advocating aroma of fresh marram grass. The luscious green top notes give way to a floral heart of wild flowers all resting on a base of moss and woods bringing back memories of walking over the dunes enjoying the rich variety of inshore marine flora and fauna.
The Northumbrian is inspired by a traditional Northumbrian gent, hard working, loyal and resilient. Northumbrians are bred tough after working years in roles such as mining, fishing and farming but don't let that tough exterior fool you, underneath all that is a real canny gadgie, and a bit of a worky ticket.
​
Like a Northumbrian it is traditional yet deceptive, our fragrance is masculine and earthy. Opening with a warm rum this fragrance moves to a heart of shaving soap and vetiver and rests on a base of cedarwood and amber. Reminiscent of returning home after a hard days work, a quick shave then off to the club.
