Cœur De Noir by Beaufort London—this scented candle embodies the relationship between the sea and art.

The story draws on the pen-and-ink drawings of the grandfathers’ luxury yachts, the fathers’ libraries filled with seafaring novels, and the creator’s own tattoos. Accords of black ink dominate here. Spiced rum from the Caribbean, lost and rediscovered papers, and the familiar dry notes of leather-bound books are balanced with enigmatic notes of vanilla pipe tobacco. And all of this is built upon a dark heart of birch tar and labdanum.

A 300-gram scented candle with a burn time of about 50 hours. 

BeauFort London - exceptional British perfumery animated by curiosity and inspired by the vastness of the sea.

Crabtree, a musician and writer, grew up in a family of artists, psychologists and sailors. As a child, he spent a lot of time on a boat on the Thames. According to Crabtree, the sea and the tradition associated with it, but also a tendency towards superstition, were already laid in his cradle. But he also found inspiration for the passionate creation of his great love - fragrances - in the dark chapters of old England. So it's little surprise that BeauFort London's is distinctly British.
The name "BeauFort London" can be derived from the scale used to classify wind speeds. It is synonymous with a framework of communication. "The wind is something constant, permanent, but also changeable and potentially destructive." is how Crabtree describes his vision.

Fittingly, fragrance creation trilogy "Come Hell or High Water" was heavily inspired by the British maritime history. It is characterised by boldness, sometimes plays with contradictions, but is always driven by an inner curiosity and the desire to expand one's own horizon of experience.

Crabtree cooperated with the most renowned British perfumers in the process. The results are fragrances that throb at the window of the collective unconscious:
they recall precious moments of the past and shed light on fragments of shared history, fleetingly brought to life and carried on the wind.

Come Hell or High Water
On 1 September 2015, the fragrance collection 'Come Hell or High Water' was proudly presented. This is the first chapter of this little story, with a stormy opening to attract attention. The fragrances appear bold, sometimes somewhat contradictory, but are characterised by a clear line. The presented excerpts resemble
footnotes to these stories concerning the sense of smell, no matter where they unfold.
They exude fascination, but also play with curiosities and the bizarre.
They serve as inspiring snippets of information and as the basis for the stories expressed through the scents.
