Coup de Courage
EAU DE PARFUM - 30ml (1 FL. OZ)
If most vanilla perfumes feel too sweet, too loud, or too predictable, Coup de Courage was created to offer something more refined.
Designed as a daily signature scent, it wears close to the skin with soft projection and an aura-like presence that lasts without overwhelming a room.
A foundation of resins, sandalwood, and labdanum gives the composition depth and structure, allowing the vanilla to feel rich, natural, and mature rather than confectionary. This makes it equally suited to everyday wear, the office, and moments of intimacy: where subtlety matters more than spectacle.
Not a sugary vanilla. A composed, enduring scent that becomes more personal the closer it is worn.
Sandalwood and vanilla are the warmth of a lover’s embrace. A touch of ylang-ylang teases cedarwood and labdanum.

Due to the subjectivity of perfumery and the intimate nature of personal care items, all fragrance sales are final. Each scent is crafted in limited quantities, and we are unable to accept returns or exchanges.
For those discovering the collection for the first time, we recommend beginning with a Collection Sampler. Fragrance is a matter of nuance and personal chemistry; we do not offer refunds based on preference.
Should your order arrive damaged, kindly notify us within 3 days of receipt, including clear photographs, and we will review the matter with care. Replacements or credits may be extended at our discretion.
Our fragrances are composed entirely from botanically derived raw materials, obtained through distillation, expression, and extraction in accordance with IFRA and European safety standards.
We choose natural materials not as a trend, but for their nuance — their ability to shift with skin, air, and time. The result is a softer, more dimensional scent experience that evolves in wear rather than remaining static.
We source our ingredients and materials from partners who prioritize responsible cultivation, ethical harvesting, and environmental care at origin.
This helps ensure that what you wear, use, and live with comes from supply chains that respect both land and community. We focus on thoughtful sourcing, measured production, and materials that age well with time and use.
We do not claim perfection. Instead, we make deliberate choices, prioritizing natural materials, longevity, and responsible partnerships so that what you choose is made with care, not excess.
Born in Manhattan and crafted by hand in the USA.
We source our materials globally, working closely with longstanding French suppliers known for their expertise in fine fragrance ingredients.
Naturals scents have a sheerness that can be layered to increase scent intensity. Two to four sprays are usually best, but it's your personal taste.
Scents are designed at high concentrations for long-lasting wear, but we recommend reapplication throughout the day as a part of your scent ritual.
Apply to pulse points—wrists, throat, collarbone—where body heat allows the composition to develop gradually throughout the day. Avoid rubbing; friction can flatten the structure and shorten its evolution.
If you’re used to conventional fragrance, natural perfume may surprise you. Most perfumes are engineered to project loudly and remain unchanged from morning to night. Ours are composed entirely of botanical materials, which means they evolve with you.
Our dry mist atomizers diffuse the scent for an indulgent cloud-like experience. Spraying closer to skin can provide for a stronger scent experience.

The Backstory
ABOUT OUR SCENTS
If natural perfume feels different from what you’re used to, you’re not imagining it. Most conventional fragrances are designed to project loudly and remain unchanged all day. Botanical perfume behaves differently—and that difference can be surprising at first.
Our fragrances are made entirely from natural materials. They respond to your body heat, your environment, and your individual skin chemistry. They warm. They evolve. They settle closer.
Instead of broadcasting, they integrate. That softer, more personal wear is intentional, and understanding it changes everything. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions.
A natural perfume is composed from botanically derived materials such as flowers, woods, resins, and citrus extracts, obtained through distillation, expression, and extraction rather than synthetic aroma molecules.
Because these materials are shaped by harvest, climate, and origin, subtle variation between batches can occur. This nuance is part of their character, much like vintage variation in wine.
Natural perfumes are designed to evolve more intimately on the skin rather than project in a fixed, linear way.
Instead of remaining static for hours, they soften, shift, and settle closer to the body over time. Longevity varies depending on composition, skin chemistry, and application, and can be extended by applying to pulse points or layering throughout the day.
Apply to pulse points where warmth helps the fragrance develop: wrists, collarbone, neck, and inner elbows.
Allow the perfume to settle naturally on the skin and avoid rubbing, as friction can alter the top notes and reduce the intended evolution.
Fragrance interacts directly with skin chemistry, temperature, and environment.
Natural materials in particular respond to these variables, which means a scent may appear softer, warmer, cooler, or more floral depending on the wearer. This is a sign of a dynamic composition, not inconsistency.
Store your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat.
Natural materials are more sensitive to environmental exposure, so proper storage helps preserve their clarity and balance over time. Keeping the bottle in its box or a shaded space is ideal.
