HOW IT WEARS
On first spritz, Namedrops appears to be a simple, musky Iso E Super scent, but as it warms up on the skin, the mixed spices and native pepper become more prominent. The native pepper smells a little like a mixture between juniper, ginger and Sichuan pepper, meaning its character is sharp, bright and aromatic. Being a more molecular fragrance, this fragrance will last anywhere between 6-10 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
Namedrops is a molecular scent unlike any other. It truly has the ability to stand up on its own – in fact we think we might prefer it like that, because it’s so gorgeous on the skin. The Tasmanian pepperberry adds such a unique edge and complexity to the fragrance – it’s fresh but earthy, citrusy but deep. That said, it also layers brilliantly under the other Raconteur fragrances and amplifies them all beautifully.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 2019 by Craig Andrade, The Raconteur (“The Storyteller”) is an artisanal luxury fragrance brand specialising in Australian native botanicals and plant extracts.
Having attended one of the world’s most prestigious fragrance schools in Grasse, France, and trained by Elise Pioch Balzac, Andrade knows his perfume. Working with world leader in natural perfumery, Mandy Aftel, he has created Australian botanical extracts and fragrances for use in collaboration with Troye Sivan for Tsu Lange Yor, Paspaley and Cult Design.
“My perfumery practice straddles beauty, art, history, science, botany, geography, and physiology. It comprises rich layers of storytelling and meaning. My focus is on making natural fragrances that combine these elements and provide both pleasure and purpose.” – Craig Andrade
As a fragrance house, The Raconteur is about telling the story of the scent of Australia – a story about the quiet beauty of what was always there. They aim to not only showcase the better-known Australian botanicals (sandalwood, boronia, lemon myrtle, etc) but the rarer ones too – Australia has over 18,000 unique native botanicals, and new ones are being discovered all the time!
All of The Raconteur fragrances are comprised of solely natural ingredients (100% plant derived) and are all vegan and cruelty free.
