[ About ]

Curiosity, material obsession, and a deep connection to the natural world brought us here. Since 2016, we have been perfuming and producing fragrance objects for the modern forager.

Nature is our medium.

From our independent studio in Charleston, SC, we source, conceptualize, and create scents that evoke memory and atmosphere.

Founder / Nose

Beau Burdette

Scent has shaped my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve worked across fragrance and brand development, drawn to the emotional and atmospheric power of smell. In 2016, I founded the contents co. and began learning perfumery firsthand. Nearly a decade later, I followed that curiosity to Grasse, France — the historic heart of perfumery.

This collection is guided by instinct, intention, and the path less traveled.
