Made by Björk and Berries (Stockholm, Sweden)

Perfumer: Jérôme Epinette

A fragrance for those who are drawn to the enchantment of the concealed. An uncovering of beauty in the things that, for most, remain undiscovered. In Shady Garden, peony opens with a cool floral softness rather than sweetness. Arctic bramble introduces a wild berry brightness with a green edge, lending clarity and lift. Patchouli settles beneath, dry and earthy, grounding the composition in quiet depth. Floral yet shadowed. Fresh yet rooted in soil. A scent that moves from filtered light to textured earth, composed and steady on skin.

Björk and Berries

Founded by Isabelle Lewenhaupt in Sweden, Björk and Berries draws its inspiration from the country’s shifting seasons, raw landscapes, and deeply rooted connection to nature. What began as a small, local project sourcing wild botanicals has evolved into a refined fragrance house that still carries the imprint of its origins. The brand’s creative process is guided by a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility – minimal but evocative. Each scent begins with a place, a memory, or a fleeting natural moment: the stillness of a forest at dusk, the crisp air of early spring, or the soft warmth of sunlit wood.

The development of a Björk and Berries fragrance is both conceptual and sensory. Ideas are translated into olfactory sketches, where natural essences and carefully selected synthetics are balanced to capture an atmosphere. From there, it’s about building a composition that feels true to that impression rather than overcomplicating it. Natural ingredients play an important role, especially in creating texture and a sense of realism, while synthetics are used where they make sense, mainly for structure and longevity.

Since moving further into perfumery, the brand has built a following among people who like that quieter approach. Scents like White Forest, September, and Never Spring reflect that signature: clean, slightly abstract, but still grounded in something natural. They’re the kind of fragrances that feel easy to wear but still have a clear identity.

Sustainability is handled in a practical way rather than as a marketing angle. The brand uses responsibly sourced materials where possible and keeps packaging relatively minimal, focusing on recyclability and avoiding excess. It fits with the overall philosophy – thoughtful without being overstated. Overall, Björk and Berries sits in that space where fragrance feels personal and unforced. Nothing is overly dramatic, but it’s not forgettable either. The appeal is in how natural it feels — understated, a bit introspective, and very much tied to a sense of place.
