This one tested us.
Nothing about it behaved the way we expected — and that’s exactly why it stayed.

When we first smelled the Ginger Lily, it hit like a spark — warm, luminous, alive. We paired it with Hainan Oud just to see what would happen, and the result stopped us cold. The blend refused to settle. It kept shifting — one minute floral, the next earthy, then something in between that didn’t have a name.

That’s how The Riddle began.
Every note rises, flickers, fades — never leading, never letting go.

We added a touch of grapefruit zest, a breath of blue tansy, and a sigh of rose — not to decorate, but to breathe space between the woods. Then came the drydown: Western Australian and Mysore Sandalwood, smooth as silk, melting into patchouli that hums quietly underneath.

No single note owns this perfume.
It’s a conversation — alive, unpredictable, endlessly changing.

People ask what The Riddle smells like.
We tell them: it depends when you ask.

This isn’t fragrance made to impress.
It’s fragrance made to remind you that nothing stays still.
