Best of British Brands

KukuiConnock London's signature scent has been skilfully blended to reflect the soul and beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.

Birch & Brook

With smoky top notes and a warm, woody base of cedar, musk and moss, this elemental scent recalls the timeless quality of a roaring fire. It evokes sitting just a little bit too close, watching the flames, lost in deep thought. What better way than to settle into the long winter nights that are soon heading our way!
Mrs Whites
MrsWhites
Mrs White's September in Sicily fragrance floods a room with a burst or lemon citrus with herby under notes. This is an uplifting and happy scent, which will improve your day with one little spray.

The perfect way to bridge the September gap between summer and autumn, this is sure to kick off your day!
 Londoner Fragrance
Londoner
EC2 is a blend of traditional British accords: lemon, lime, grapefruit and juniper berry, combined with a contemporary and spicy heart of bay, nutmeg, cedar, tonka bean, pink and black pepper, vetiver and amber.

A wonderful reflection of one of London's most iconic areas, this scent is perfect come rain or shine.
We love all of our British brands and get so excited about them - there is a real resurgence and desire for quality British goods and we're so proud to be at the forefront of that.
Not known for our perfume historically it is so refreshing to see so many fantastic and truly astounding British perfumers emerging and regenerating themselves from cult favourites like Union to rebuilt classics such as Atkinsons and Floris - There really is something to suit everyone!
We are always looking for more - so if you are aware of any independent artisan British brands of which we may not be aware please do get in touch and let us know about them. Please click here to email Romain in our research department.

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price.

The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
