The fragrances we create at Laboratory Perfumes often start with a single aroma. In Samphires case, it was a young leaf of verbena plucked from a friends garden on a spring afternoon. The scent was so arrestingly fresh, we decided to find a way to capture its zesty rush for our third fragrance. We crushed a sprig of that verbena with a pinch of juniper berries from the spice rackand Samphire began to take shape. Moving from the kitchen to the lab, we blended in citrus oil, flourishes of lavender, basil and rosemary, and base notes of white amber and oak moss to create a bright, cool, aromatic scent with a lightness of touch that belies its complexity and longevity on the skin. The finished scent was so clearly evocative of the seashore we could only call it Samphire.
