Court of Ravens 15ml

Court of Ravens is the last of our Hammersmith series which also includes Hammersmith Tea & Biscuits and Brackenbury.

This final fragrance in the collection is named after Ravenscourt Park, a beautiful public garden right near our studio, and the home - we imagine - of a court of ravens nesting high in the chestnut trees. 

Court of Ravens is an incense rose at heart, with a chypre soul running through it, from oakmoss, styrax and labdanum at its roots. To bring glossy black glints of ravens’ wings, shining as they catch the light, we added drops of Yakima peppermint, French lavender, cumin and pink grapefruit, with discretion. Patchouli, rose and musk are the Court of Ravens’ leaders. We like to think that it would be worn for weekends in Whitby, after midnight in the woods - everywhere that magic might happen.

"I love it. I don’t usually like rose fragrances but this is wonderful - not too sweet, floral but not girly, sparkling notes and interesting in the way that Sarah McCartney's fragrances are. You’ve created another winner, Sarah." - Kirsten Clayton

"Do you ever enjoy your perfume so much that you keep sniffing yourself and making lip smacking "Mmmmm." noises? I'm doing that today with Court of Ravens (Thank Goodness I work from home). It smells like I am from the fifties but very classy and mysterious with face powder, pearls and yesterday's frock because I got distracted by a suitor at a dance and lost a shoe." - Iscentyouaday
