The Sedona fragrance and Chambray feature floral notes, the Beau highlights scents of leather and amber cypress, and the Indigo scent fuses notes of sandalwood and green leaves for a rustic blend.

All of the new fragrances are made using a series of cruelty-free ingredients and are designed to be layered with one another. Each wearer is encouraged to mix and match scents to create one that is individual to their own preference. The inaugural line is now available to shop online and in-store now.
