Tea lovers rejoice! With the addition of the Sydney-based Chasing Scents range to the LKNU portfolio, we welcome three new exciting tea fragrances - each of discernible and remarkable character. Employing delightful extractions of tea in each and every fragrance, Chasing Scents is the result of unique know-how and passion.

Tea Service is a photorealistic cup of jasmine-oolong tea, with a fine astringent backbone redolent of tannins, this gorgeous work carries aromatic vapours of white peach and osmanthus with it.

Weeping Rose features etiolated rose petals and rose bud tea hit with the low afternoon light. An autumnal pile of leaves, here the world comes to a gradual halt. Melting textures are brought to life with fig leaf, maple, red apple, and orris.

Finally, the dreamy and sedate Slow World expresses smoky and balsamic pu-er tea, which becomes the vehicle for resins, incense, and malt. Saffron imparts a legible, softly burning trace. An atmosphere of scent - a gauzy medley of shadows - warmth emerges from all directions in this fragrance.

The glorious Chasing Scents range can be found in our Emporium Boutique, or online.

A brand where oud almost always has the first word but never the final say. In this podcast, Liam provides an overview of the Bortnikoff range and style, which privileges an extravagance of natural perfumed extracts, oozing of decadence and presence. In Oud Loukoum, oud melts into the unctuous texture of ylang-ylang and sticky dried fruits to produce an oud that is at once immediately approachable yet intense in style. L’Heure Exquise continues this gourmand style, making marvellous use of neroli’s honeyed sweetness then wrapped up in cacao, rich florals, and ambery oud - creating an impressionistic and sweetly scented scene of dusk. Finally, Sayat Nova bursts on the scene, with the full tilt of apricot at the fore. Lactic, solar, fuzzy, and funky - a combination of vanilla, rum, and a supporting base of oud make for a fiery dance on the skin. A prolific perfumer, Bortnikoff can be found in our Melbourne boutique, or online.https://lknu.com.au/collections/bortn...

In this podcast, Liam reflects on the aromatic déjà-vu of Jorum Studio's newest release, Elegy. Nostalgia and memories of yesteryear are captured with complex layers of effervescent aldehydes, bourbon geranium and rose, before descending into Scottish heather, patchouli and oud. Airy with a discernible sense of body, Elegy is a strikingly interesting and moving Extrait de Parfum that captures the idea of fragrances of time gone by. You can find Elegy and the Jorum Studio range at our Emporium boutique and online store. https://lknu.com.au/collections/jorum...

What might be the most sumptuous and narcotic floral fragrance in our range, Duo Des Fleurs by Senyoko is a medley of exquisite rose and jasmine of superlative quality. In this podcast, Liam details just how special and vivid this fragrance is, which matches rich florals against a rare ‘Mitti Attar’ base, adding a background like that of clay baked in the sun. An utter symphony, Duo Des Fleurs is available online, and in-store at our Emporium boutique. https://lknu.com.au/collections/senyo...

Extrait de Musique is a homage to the organ by Filippo Sorcinelli, who transforms the instrument’s striking tones in the medium of scent. More than just an exercise of synaesthesia – when a sensation in one sense blurs into another – this is a concise range of impeccable definition and effective execution. Whether it’s the thundering growl of Violon Basse 16, or the warm human voice of Voix Humaine 8, the range is diverse and balanced. In this podcast, Liam details just what makes Extrait de Musique so special. The complete range can be found online, and in our Melbourne Emporium boutique. https://lknu.com.au/collections/extra...This podcast can be found at https://lknu.com.au/pages/podcasts or your favourite Podcast apps.

In this podcast, Liam primes us for the spellbinding UNUM range. The product of an immense talent, UNUM was conceived by Filippo Sorcinelli – who demonstrates that art pervades life through and through. Sorcinelli connects the art of perfume with a diverse range of mediums, from photography, film, myth, and even the esotericisms of mysticism. UNUM scents are always an eventful encounter of great magnitude, and here Liam gives body to this idea, discussing three scents in the range. UNUM can be discovered online, and in our Emporium boutique.https://lknu.com.au/collections/unum

A sophisticated gourmand, Rubikona by Puredistance is a finely-cut gem of a fragrance. Ruby-toned, warm and scintillating, a generous and plush arrangement of orange blossom, vanilla, patchouli, and musks form a decadent and melting composition that flirts with the extremes - at an impressive 28% concentration. Floral, chewy, sweet and musky: an utterly delicious scent, Rubikona attains the balance, and expresses a paradox between the edible and the inedible. The Puredistance range can be found at our Emporium boutique and online store.https://lknu.com.au/collections/pured...

For International Fragrance Day, Liam’s #SOTD is L’Eau de Merzhin by independent perfumer Anatole Lebreton. A scent which inflects the green facets of the iris note with the unmistakable bitter signature of galbanum, the work is a landscape of springtime replete with blooming grasses, flowers, and herbs. We like to imagine a siesta on a bed of hay. In this scent, powdery nuances are engulfed with a striking combination of herbaceous angelica, vanillic hawthorn, oakmoss, and flouve - a complex sweet grass with tobacco aspects. A fragrance that invites us to dream and to wonder - a fitting choice for a momentous day! The Anatole Lebreton fragrances can be found online, and in our Melbourne Emporium boutique.https://lknu.com.au/collections/anato...

In this informative podcast, our education manager Liam provides us with a flash study of musks as both a note and a category. Thinking through distinct examples of musk, Liam gives character to the fizzy powdery clean of white musks with Musc Intense (Nicolai Parfumeur Createur), animalic and vegetal musks in Zoologist’s Musk Deer, and sensual spicy-leathery musks in Night Flower (Eris Parfums). No two musks are ever the same, and when you understand the style that marks your tastes, we believe it becomes much easier to communicate with others what you might be after. All the musks featured in this episode - and many more - can be found at our Emporium boutique and online store.This podcast can be found at https://lknu.com.au/pages/podcasts or your favourite Podcast apps.
