✦ Our Ingredient Philosophy
No Shortcuts. No Compromises.
We source every raw material with the same reverence we hope you feel when you spray a Lakescent fragrance. That means tracing each ingredient to its origin, working directly with farmers and distillers, and rejecting shortcuts that compromise quality or harm the land.
“The forest remembers what the bottle holds.”

✦ The Craft
How We Make It
From raw material to finished bottle — every step is intentional
Step 01
Ethical Harvesting
We work directly with growers and foragers, never through intermediaries. Each raw material is harvested at peak aromatic potency.
From soil to harvest

Step 02
Distillation & Extraction
Depending on the material, we use steam distillation, cold-press expression, or solvent extraction. The method is chosen to best preserve the ingredient’s unique character.
Copper-pot steam distillation
Step 03
Accord Building
Our perfumers layer individual materials into accords. A single accord can take weeks to balance, with hundreds of micro-adjustments before it sings.

Step 04
Maceration & Maturation
Every Lakescent formula is macerated for a minimum of 4 weeks in high-quality perfumers’ alcohol. This allows the molecules to fully integrate.
Minimum 4 weeks maceration
Step 05
Cold Filtration & Bottling
We cold-filter each batch to remove particulates without stripping aromatic molecules. Bottles are filled, sealed, and labelled by hand in small batches.

✦ Understand Your Fragrance
The Ingredient Glossary
Extrait de Parfum
The highest concentration — 20–40% fragrance oil. Long-lasting, rich, and complex. Best applied sparingly to pulse points.
Lakescent EDP: ~22% concentration
Accord
A combination of individual materials blended into a unified note — the building block of a fragrance formula.
Top Note
The first impression — what you smell immediately after spraying. Usually lighter materials. Lasts 15–30 minutes.
Heart Note
The body of the fragrance, emerging as the top notes fade. Often florals, spices, or aromatic herbs.
Base Note
The foundation — the slowest-evaporating materials that provide depth and longevity. Can last 6–12+ hours.
Sillage
The trail a fragrance leaves in the air as you move. French for “wake.” High-sillage scents are more noticeable at a distance.
Fixative
An ingredient (often a resin or musk) that slows the evaporation of other materials, extending the fragrance’s longevity.
Maceration
The resting period where fragrance concentrate is blended with alcohol and left to integrate. Essential for a smooth, unified scent.
Absolute
A highly concentrated fragrance material produced by solvent extraction — typically used for delicate flowers like jasmine or tuberose.
