Pre Order: Silvanus No 1 - Eau De Parfum - Available Dec 2026

50ml | black glass | batch numbered

Named for the forest keeper — the one who guards the woods. Silvanus No 1 is the scent of the castle: new stone in an ancient forest. It opens sharp and dry — grapefruit cut with black pepper, a breath of cardamom. Then the walls rise: vetiver for the backbone, cedarwood for the new-cut stone, patchouli for the forest floor beneath it. It settles on warm skin — amber musk and a whisper of tonka, a fire burning low in a stone room at night. Hand-blended at parfum strength (30% concentration) and macerated a full four weeks before bottling — the vetiver needs that month to turn from grass to stone. Two sprays is plenty.

Two hundred bottles, each numbered and dated by the keeper's own hand in our Knysna studio. When the last is gone, the gate closes on No 1.

Notes: grapefruit, bergamot, black pepper, cardamom, vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood, amber musk, tonka.
