Jimmy's story

The story

Unable to afford a second bottle of an oriental fragrance he had fallen in love with, he taught himself to detect and identify perfume ingredients, eventually cataloguing every material he could find, no matter how rare, and channeling that self-taught knowledge into composing scents he couldn't find on the market.

In their own words

How Jimmy works

Signature

Powerful, long-lasting compositions built through meticulous, self-taught material knowledge and deliberate concoction.
