Botanical Fragrance & Natural Skincare — Made in New York

Botanical Fragrance & Skincare

Our botanical formulas are composed for daily rituals that feel intimate and grounded in nature.

Each collection is crafted and poured by hand in small batches in our Hudson Valley, New York studio. Our ingredients are intentionally sourced, natural, and plant-based: essential oils, absolutes, resins, tinctures, and botanical extracts.

Botanical Index

The Botanical Index is a guide to the natural materials that shape every 2 Note composition — the essential oils, resins, woods, leaves, and flowers that form the heart of our work.

Each essence carries its own story: where it grows, how it’s gathered, and the qualities it brings to scent and skin. Together, they create the foundation of our formulations and the distinct character of each fragrance and care product.
