Perfume Gifts

Every fragrance I make is compounded, bottled and finished by hand in my Monmouthshire studio, in small batches. Whether you know their favourite scent or haven’t a clue, there’s a thoughtful gift here for them.

Welsh gifts, made by hand

Every fragrance here begins in my studio in Monmouthshire. I compound each one in small batches, then bottle and label it by hand. My Natur collection is drawn from the Welsh coast, countryside, forest and night sky, and The Celts takes its inspiration from the ancient tribes of Britain and Ireland, including the Silures of south Wales. If you’re looking for a gift from Wales that they won’t find on the high street, this is it.

Not sure what they’d like?

Take a quiet look at the bottles on their dressing table. You don’t need to know the exact perfume, just the fragrance family. I’ve written a short guide to help.

Christmas delivery

Order by 16th December for UK delivery before Christmas. Every order is packed by hand in my studio.

Perfume gift questions

What’s the best perfume gift if I don’t know their taste?

A discovery set. They can wear each fragrance for a few days and get to know it properly, because a fragrance changes over the day as it settles on the skin.

Are your fragrances for men or women?

Both, and neither. I don’t make fragrances for him or for her. Every scent is for whoever loves it.

Can I give a perfume making experience as a gift?

Yes. Experiences can be given as a voucher, so they can book a date that suits them.

How should I store a perfume gift until the big day?

Somewhere cool and dark, like a drawer or wardrobe. Heat and light can change how a fragrance smells over time.
