First Rain

Summer rain on warm terracotta

The smell of a summer storm on warm terracotta. A rain accord and bergamot to open, orris and a cool mineral clay in the heart, and vetiver and sandalwood underneath that are still there at midnight.

Our Story

Grown In Grasse, Made For Every Day.

Grasse, in the hills above Cannes, has grown the world's perfume flowers for centuries. Its jasmine is picked by hand at dawn, and its rose de mai blooms for a few weeks each May; both are distilled within hours, before the scent can fade.

Vaudrey was started in London to carry that craft into a bottle you would wear every day: the depth and staying power of a true extrait, made cleaner, lighter and easier to wear in a city.

“We did not invent anything. We just stopped hiding where it comes from.”

The Craft

Made Slowly, So It Lasts.

The result is a perfume that keeps changing on your skin for twelve hours, instead of vanishing in two.

Step 01

Picked Before Sunrise

Jasmine and rose de mai are picked by hand at dawn in Grasse, when their oils are richest.

Step 02

Distilled Within Hours

The harvest reaches the still the same morning, so nothing fades between the field and the bottle.

Step 03

Aged Ninety Days

Every blend rests for three months in London before it is bottled by hand, so the notes settle into one scent.
