Description 21 Conduit St revisits a great classic of English perfumery while giving it a new, intriguing and decidedly modern twist.
Whether the memory conjures dried flowers from Norfolk tucked into ornate sachets, or the fragrance of a bottle of authentic British Eau de Cologne, lavender is to English perfumery what scones are to teatime.
The result of a creative tandem, 21 Conduit St gives the scent of lavender a singular brightness. The accord comes from a formula by Oli Marlow, whose fascination with this aromatic note goes back to his childhood. He dreamt of giving it greater contrast, making it more multi-facetted, upping the tangy, fruity freshness and warming it through with resinous notes.
“It’s a lavender that’s chiseled from the freshness of cold, crisp oranges, the cheekiness of cassis and the bittersweet comforting warmth of pine” Marlow explains.
In Paris, his meeting with the perfumer Marie Schnirer (Laboratoire Maelstrom) opened the door to a new world of raw materials, most notably a quality of Javanese Vetiver that enriches the ensemble with a whirl of smoky, earthy notes.
