Limited Edition Announcement

Mark Sage
“Lockdown”
Extrait de Parfum
Edition of 50

It’s my pleasure to announce the 2026 release of “Lockdown” by Mark Sage of Clandestine Laboratories for American Perfumer®.

Originally composed in March-April 2020 at the start of the lockdown, the design was inspired by the mixed feelings of complete freedom, peace, and independence, combined with a craving for security, reassurance, and human connection. This fragrance embodies those feelings with a beautiful blend of resin, spice, incense, wood, and smoke. It’s a unique, deeply comforting design.

The pre-sale is open now on a first come, first served basis.
If you’d like a bottle, DM your name and email and an invoice will follow.

What remains will be available tomorrow, Saturday, September 26th at 3:00 p.m. EST at american-perfumer.com

Thanks, Dave

“Lockdown” notes: Bitter orange, fig leaves, pink pepper, cardamom, cascarilla, elemi, ginger, myrrh, incense, weeping cypress, jasmine, ylang ylang, labdanum, sandalwood, civet, musk.

“Lockdown” is a signed and numbered limited edition of fifty 30ml bottles of extrait de parfum exclusive to American Perfumer®. Retail - $160.00. *Domestic shipping only.

Limited Edition Announcement

Diane St. Clair
“Lisbon
Extrait de Parfum
Edition of 25

It’s my pleasure to announce the second release of “Lisbon” by Diane St. Clair.

The morning after the 2024 Art and Olfaction Awards, Diane and I took a walk together to smell the Jacarandas that were in bloom all over Lisbon. We met in the Principe Real Garden, walked under the canopy of its ancient Cypress, and then took in the magnificent Jacarandas with their creamy, honeyed-grape aroma.

Upon arriving back in Vermont, Diane went to work, incorporating cedar and juniper berry from the Cypress to balance the narcotic headiness of the flower. The resulting design, “Lisbon,” is a fragrance of shared memory, that turned out exactly as we’d hoped. 

25 bottles will be released on Saturday, August 29th at 3:00 p.m. EST. Thanks, Dave

Limited Edition Announcement

It’s my great pleasure to announce the release of “Rushlight” by Michael Nordstrand of Mythologist Studio.

An homage to its humble namesake, Rushlight marries the warmth of beeswax with the intoxication of honeyed spring flowers, wrapping them in the deep green hush of hedgerows at dawn. Bay Leaf, Petitgrain, and Hops open onto a luminous heart of Linden Blossom, Mimosa, and Honeysuckle before settling into silken Musks, Orange Flower Water and softly spiced Beeswax. Quietly compelling, Rushlight reminds us that wherever certainty yields to the beauty of curiosity, wonder emerges like a light from the shadows.

From Michael:
‘My inspiration came from an early kind of torch fashioned from the pith of common rushes dipped in beeswax. Against the looming darkness I imagine their light was quite modest, reminding me that certainty is seldom the companion of meaningful work. Sometimes those labours are long and the road ahead is unclear, but it doesn’t mean the path has not been laid before us.’

‘Mimosa and Linden Blossom formed the heart of the fragrance because they share the same subtle radiance as the rushlight: golden & weightless, delicate but persistent. I imagined entire fields of people holding them in the darkest hour before dawn, like golden blossoms adrift on a 
sea of indigo shadows.’

‘I created Rushlight for the moments that define every creative life: venturing where no path exists, guided only by the conviction to keep moving.’

American Perfumer is proud to announce that our House Collection is available at Mon Senteur, in Westerville, Ohio. Owner Roldan Kreais focuses on storytelling through scent, offering a carefully chosen selection of olfactive artistry - each fragrance an evocative experience, chosen to resonate on a personal level. 

“I’m Roldan Kreais, partner at Mon Senteur. I’m a regular guy who fell in love with fragrance, and it became a part of how I see and experience the world. Perfume was something I discovered gradually as an adult, from designer fragrances to Arabic perfumery and oud, eventually finding my way into niche and independent houses.

For me, fragrance has never been about status or putting on airs. It’s about emotion, atmosphere, memory, and discovery. Through fragrance, we experience pieces of our world and the people within it, whether that story comes from our own backyard or from across the globe. That philosophy shaped Mon Senteur. I wanted to create a space where anyone, regardless of background or experience, could explore fragrance in a way that feels welcoming, personal, and meaningful.

We are proud to carry American Perfumer, whose storytelling through scent captures a spirit we believe comes straight from the heart of the Midwest.”

Check out American Perfumer at Mon Senteur in our profile and make sure to visit this family business if you’re in that neck of the woods. They have the best selection of artisan and independent perfume in the Columbus area - by a mile.

Thanks, Dave
