Kote

The quiet intensity of an office late at night, where the lingering scent of tobacco mingles with the crispness of fresh coffee and the soft hum of fluorescent lights.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 by Slumberhouse and crafted by perfumer Josh Lobb, Kote is a Woody fragrance for women and men that balances the earthy warmth of tobacco with bright citrus accents. The opening notes of citruses and aromatic herbs create an invigorating freshness that contrasts beautifully with the deep, sweet undertones of woody accords and tobacco. This composition captures the essence of a modern yet lasting elegance, where crispness meets smokiness in perfect harmony.

How to wear it

Kote's citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure they pair well with the longer-lasting woody base. This fragrance reads best close to skin, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinctive presence.

A self-taught nose based in Portland, Oregon, Josh Lobb built Slumberhouse out of an informal artists' collective — friends handling visual art and design while he focused on scent — before it grew from one-off Etsy listings into its own house.
