Compass Rose

Roses are a powerful symbol of compassion, transformation and love in all its forms. They find a home in poetry and prose; the magical and mundane; cottage gardens and the palace one too.

Inspired by the family tree roses share with edible fruits and herbal allies, Compass Rose is formulated as potion and perfume - a nostalgic nod at their shared genealogy. Alchemy’s Compass Rose Cologne as a high-vibrational fragrance to craft rituals for trusting, protecting and healing your tender heart.

What are ‘Spirit Waters’?

In the early days of the commercial fragrance industry, colognes were sold as fresheners and tonics to protect us from bad air.

This was a time when there wasn’t much difference between medicine and magic; potion or perfume. In our modern times there is still a lot of power in fragrance for storytelling, healing and wellness.

Alchemy spirit waters are formulated using 100% botanicals.

Henna Body Art

Lawsonia Inermis is humble little shrub that gives us a dye molecule used in textile design and to create temporary body art.

The art form is an integral part of some celebrations including weddings and EID. And it can be worn at anytime to beautify the body, uplift the spirit.

We use 100% natural henna and mix our own paste. Designs last 10-14 days.
