ABOUT THE BRAND
The brand was first founded by musician David Seth Moltz and architect Kavi Moltz in 2007,based on the belief in the perfume’s ability to conjure unseen worlds. Both visionaries in the niche perfumery world, the couple started from scratch and did it their way (more Sid than Sinatra). They were pioneers in the DIY Brooklyn movement and began by turning things they loved into scented stories of cowboys, open terrain, Russian novel characters, and folk songs - all packed into hand- stamped boxes in their Bushwick apartment. Attention to detail and the importance of human hands are still vital to their process today.
