For this perfume Hiram was inspired by the natural splendour of Arcadia. In this utopian, unspoiled wilderness babbling brooks meander through mountains covered in dense forests. The air is filled with the sound of humming insects and twittering birds.

Imagine the lush undergrowth that covers the forest floor. In areas where the sun manages to break through the canopy, fragrant flowers bask in the sunlight and their sweet scent intertwines with the fresh green smell of the foliage.

Arcadia belongs to the classic olfactive group known as Fougère, or fern-like perfumes. As no natural fern fragrant oil exists, Fougère fragrances always consist of a combination of fragrant oils that evoke the scent of ferns.

Aromatic French lavender and Italian bergamot dominate the top of Arcadia before jasmine and rose provide floral shading. Tonka bean, aged patchouli and New Caledonian sandalwood add depth to the composition.

Hiram Green

Canadian-born perfumer Hiram Green has been creating expressive and intense fragrances using exclusively natural ingredients since 2013. He is self-taught and independent, following his own instincts rather than the traditional rules of perfumery. From his studio near Amsterdam, he handcrafts each perfume in small batches, in a highly personal style, often after hundreds of experiments and adjustments. Each perfume embodies that slow, precise construction: layered, full of character and distinctly natural. Using ethically sourced raw materials and sustainable packaging, he actively works to reduce his ecological footprint.

All ingredients are of natural origin: alcohol, parfum, aqua, linalool, d-limonene, coumarin, evernia prunastri extract, benzyl benzoate, geraniol, citronellol, eugenol, citral, farnesol, benzyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, benzyl cinnamate
