Rook Perfumes is a unique independent fragrance house based in the UK, founded by Dr. Nadeem Crowe in 2018. What sets Rook apart is its founder's unusual background: Nadeem Crowe is not only a perfumer but also an NHS emergency doctor and an actor. This blend of science, art, and performance influences the brand's approach to fragrance creation, offering a distinctive alternative to the generic.
Rook Perfumes focuses on artistic and artisan niche fragrances that are both unique and wearable. They specialize in challenging conventional scent profiles, embracing notes that others might avoid, such as smoke, vibrant greens, and indolic florals. Inspired by travel and the power of scent to evoke memories, Rook Perfumes aims to take wearers on an olfactory journey that explores the true, complex beauty of nature's accords. Their collection includes fragrances like "Undergrowth" and "Forest", which are praised for their distinctiveness and transportive qualities.
