For over 355 years, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) has been a sanctuary of plant exploration, adventure, and protection. From the earliest plant hunters who traversed the globe to today’s conservation scientists, its story is one of curiosity, courage, and care for the natural world.
This remarkable legacy has now been distilled into an extraordinary perfume - a fragrance that brings to life the spirit of the Garden, in collaboration with Kingdom Scotland.
A Living Legacy
Founded in 1670, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is one of the world’s oldest and most respected botanic gardens. For centuries, its explorers have journeyed across continents, collecting and studying rare and remarkable plant species.
Every leaf, seed, and specimen tells a story - of resilience, discovery, and the delicate balance of life on Earth. Today, RBGE continues to lead global conservation efforts, protecting plants and habitats for generations to come.
Translating Botany into Scent
Inspired by RBGE’s living collections, this fragrance captures the essence of botanical diversity - a sensory interpretation of centuries of exploration and protection.
Each note has been thoughtfully composed to echo the garden’s textures, scents, and spirit of discovery:
• Top Notes: Fresh green leaves, aromatic herbs, and a spark of citrus - the awakening scent of early morning in the glasshouses.
• Heart Notes: Lush florals and exotic botanicals gathered from across the world, representing the heart of RBGE’s living collection.
• Base Notes: Woods, moss, and earthy resins - grounding and eternal, reflecting the garden’s roots in conservation and time.
The result is an olfactory journey - a perfume that invites you to wander, pause, and reconnect with nature’s beauty and intelligence.
Crafted with Purpose
In creating this scent, Kingdom Scotland drew inspiration not only from RBGE’s botanical treasures, but also from its mission - to explore, conserve, and inspire.
Every element of the perfume - from its formulation to its design - honours this shared philosophy of artistry, sustainability, and respect for nature.
A Journey Through Scent
This perfume is more than a fragrance.
It is an invitation to experience the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in a new way - through scent.
Each aromatic ingredient evokes a story of adventure and preservation; a reminder of our connection to the natural world.
An exploration. A discovery. A tribute to over 355 years of botanical brilliance.
