dreaming with ghosts
Opens like an orchard at dusk, where quince glows golden-green against the shadows. A cool breath of marigold drifts through, sharp yet luminous, before melting into the tender hush of peony. Leather unfurls, supple and smoky. As the night deepens, the fragrance softens to a pale shimmer: vanilla glowing like candlelight on skin, grounded by the dark soil of vetiver. The whole impression is hushed and spectral — delicate yet persistent, as though a memory has taken shape in scent and refuses to let go.
Meet the Maker
Mark Buxton
Buxton was born in England but relocated to Germany at the age of 8, where his parents opened a restaurant. Buxton's journey into perfumery began at age 21, when he and a friend applied to be on German to show, “Wetten, dass…?”, which means “I bet that…”. Contestants ‘make a bet’ against the TV show, and the duo made the bet that they could identify all the perfumes in the world by scent alone.
The pair spent six weeks sampling as many fragrances as possible. On the day of the show, Buxton smelled and identified 5 random fragrances, however, his friend froze and was unable to identify any. Despite losing the bet, Buxton was subsequently offered a job at Haarmann & Reimer fragrance producers (now Symrise). Buxton relocated to Paris to work in the fine fragrance department, where he became a junior perfumer and later qualified as a perfumer.
Despite his achievements and acclaim, Buxton remains refreshingly down-to-earth and passionate about his work. He continues to push the boundaries of perfumery, constantly seeking new challenges and inspirations. In an industry often characterised by trends and commercialism, Buxton's unwavering commitment to artistic integrity sets him apart as a true visionary in the world of fragrance.
