Why four

Nothing here is rare. It is just particular: a fig cured in Castro Marim salt, cork bark the week it comes off the tree, a weed that grows out of a cliff, a stone ten minutes after rain.

The four. 50 ml each, €165 each, one material each.

Read each line left to right: what you smell in the first hour, the middle of the day, and what is still on your wrist in the evening. Times are on skin, not paper.

No. 1

Figo

Salt-cured fig

Castro Marim, Algarve

Black figs split and packed in flor de sal from the Castro Marim pans. The salt draws out the jam and leaves the leather. Milky for an hour, then dry, then almost savoury.

0–1 h
Fig leaf, flor de sal
1–5 h
Dried fig, cured skin
5–9 h
Cedar, beeswax

No. 2

Sobreiro

Cork oak

Comporta, Alentejo coast

Cork comes off the tree in July, once every nine years, and leaves the trunk the colour of brick. This is that week: dry bark, warm dust, and resin drifting over from the pines in the next field.

0–1 h
Pine resin, warm dust
1–4 h
Cork bark, tobacco leaf
4–10 h
Labdanum, dry wood

No. 3

Funcho

Sea fennel

Cabo Espichel

Crithmum maritimum grows out of the limestone at Cabo Espichel, where little else will. Crush a stem and you get celery, lemon peel and iodine. We kept it sharp and let it soften only at the very end.

0–1 h
Crushed stem, lemon peel
1–3 h
Iodine, celery seed
3–7 h
Ambrette, salt on skin

No. 4

Granito

Wet granite

Vila Praia de Âncora, Minho

The northern coast is granite, and it rains there. This is the first ten minutes of it: cold mineral, crushed moss, and a little smoke from a chimney somewhere up the hill.

0–1 h
Petrichor, cold mineral
1–5 h
Moss, wet stone
5–10 h
Vetiver, woodsmoke

What we leave out. No oud, no gold caps, no “notes of mystery”, and no fifth perfume this year.

Ostra is two people and a small room in Santos. We make four perfumes because we know four places on this coast well enough to describe them honestly. When we know a fifth, we will make a fifth.
