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.
