The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Slumberhouse and crafted by perfumer Josh Lobb, Sova is an Oriental Fougere that balances the green freshness of its top notes with a warm, honeyed heart. The fragrance opens with a bright, herbal spiciness before settling into a rich base of beeswax and leather, creating a composition that feels both fresh and enveloping. This contrast between crisp greens and warm sweetness makes Sova a versatile scent for any time of day.

How to wear it

Sova's green top notes are bright but fade quickly, so apply a generous amount to ensure that the honeyed heart and warm base notes have room to develop. This fragrance is best worn close to skin, where its warmth comes through most clearly.
