‘Layerable with Libertine“

As Dante once said “Beauty awakens the soul to act” and this virtuous scent is beautiful and stirring in equal measure. Transporting your soul to the bucolic Tuscan countryside where you will follow in the shadow of a Carthusian monk. Breathing in the scent of the aromatic herb garden, cold stone walls, leather-bound books and lingering incense. What a curious calm.

Aromatic thyme, sage and wet basil graced with sacred violet, grounded with stone, oakwood and moss. Enveloped in ancient incense and leather. A divine scent in the truest sense.

Have a look at Virtuous’s contradicting paired scent, Libertine. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.

​Ilk is an old Scottish word with varied interpretations over the centuries, their interpretation is ‘the essence of who you are’.
