Perfume begins with the material.

Intrepid Scents creates original fragrances from high-grade essential oils and other fine botanical materials — woods, flowers, resins, spices, citrus, botanical musks, absolutes, and CO₂ extracts chosen for their individual beauty and character.

Selected contemporary perfumery materials are used sparingly when they improve diffusion, texture, cohesion, or longevity.

We prefer focused compositions in which each material has a purpose.

Sandalwood, vetiver, cardamom, frankincense and rose petals
