Rhun · Eau de parfum · Composed in Bali.

The reason for the house

A scent you love.
A story you can follow.

Fragrance is something we choose to carry on our skin. We want that closeness to mean something: a material with a name, a place beyond the bottle, and an honest account of the making.

Begin with kemenyan: resin gathered from the Styrax tree. Its aromatic tears become the warm, balsamic material known as benzoin. A name on a bottle becomes a way into a place. Follow the resin.

Bright spice. Quiet warmth.

Lime and ginger give way to Banda nutmeg and mace. Sandalwood, soft musks and a thread of benzoin leave a warm, intimate finish.

Across the
Banda Sea.

Nutmeg draws us to Banda. Follow it beyond the bottle to Run: a living Bandanese island, shaped by trade, cultivation and a history that deserves to be told in full.
