Fragrance notes: Hashish / Nag Champa / Mesquite / Vervaine
Originally, the Canal Saint-Martin was created to help the growing population of Paris avoid disease.

In Latin it is “solvitur ambulando”, meaning, it is solved by walking.
The French refer to flânerie: seemingly aimless lounging or strolling.

Each fragrance composition is created to serve as an open prompt, meant to provoke associative leaps and interpretation.
We have refined our identity without relying on logos; designing with restraint. An earthy wax, a pop of color. Labels that disappear into the background — subtle and intentional. Our packaging is 100% recyclable, a small reflection of our desire to leave as little behind.
