Passion Project
We take immense pride in the fact that all of our fragrances are truly ours. We developed each new scent in-house to ensure each of the scents is not only unique to our brand but also true to the narrative that we want each of the fragrances to tell.
Once we’ve created our formula, we go the extra mile (or ten) in the spirit of true perfumery to develop, test, and edit our fragrances to perfection with our partner perfumers at the world’s best fragrance houses. This important step ensures each fragrance adheres to the highest industry standards of quality, performance, and sustainability.
It’s a long process but one that we cherish above all.
New Bottle Design
We took the opportunity of a new fragrance launch with aétai to redesigned the eau de parfum bottles with pronounced front facets and a flat back for a more comfortable, tactile feel. The new black metal caps take the shape of our logo for a distinct yet understated look. On the edge of the bottle you’ll find the “adage” name embossed into the glass–a detail carried over from our iconic candle and diffuser vessels. The new shape and heavier weight of the glass and metal caps embody the undeniably luxurious experience of the fragrances inside.
