In Somerset, carpenter Luke Haughton works slowly, guided by hand and by habit.
This film offers a quiet walk through his workshop, where time-honoured tools, patient methods, and a reverence for material shape each piece. At its centre is a 200-year-old walnut, later transformed into the perfume organ in our shop — a vessel for scent, memory, and gathering.
A meditation on craft, continuity, and the beauty of doing things as they have always been done.
Visit our Bruton shop to encounter the perfume organ crafted by Luke — and join one of our Slow Scent® classes, rooted in the acclaimed curriculum developed by Mandy Aftel. Gathered around the organ, we'll explore top, heart, and base notes, learn the art of blending, and discover how botanical ingredients shape mood, memory, and presence, before creating a bespoke fragrance oil to take home.
