ALL

In the feast of life, a fancy cologne for those
who are hungry, ambitious, and going for it:
you can have your cake and eat it!

Came from the oven, born for the crown
Layers so rich, can’t tear you down
Dipped in the dark, rolled in the sweet
You wanna bite? Then get on your feet

You can have it all
You can stand tall
Take a seat, take a number
Or take the whole damn table under

Everything from the Agrarian Kitchen begins in the garden. That was the starting point for this scent, the sweet, earthy aroma of rich healthy soil. Treemoss, cedarwood and birch tar provide the foundation and the hint of smokiness is a small nod to the grill and hot smoker, where faint white plumes are always in gentle attendance.

At its heart, this is a distinctly robust and savoury scent. Vegetables are the star attraction, with notes from carrot seed, bitter fennel and a rhubarb accord. There’s freshness from the citrus top notes of bergamot and orange which are paired with the comforting warmth of rosemary and the crisp spice of cardamom and ginger.

The soul of this candle is a deep, savoury, hands in the soil scent that pays homage to one of the nation’s leading culinary institutions that combines an exceptional kitchen garden, cooking school and restaurant.

Pristine isolation. Ancient terrain. A remarkable coastline with a Mediterranean climate. These three elements make Margaret River one of the world’s great wine regions.

Positioned on a cape and surrounded by the Indian and Southern oceans on 3 sides, the region backs onto desert. The Leeuwin current flows warm from the north and the constant cooling ocean breezes provide gradual gentle ripening conditions against a terroir of red ochre, granite and gravel loam.

Tall forests tower over colourful wildflowers and pristine white beaches are hugged with native scrub. A wild surf coast meets verdant forest and beyond the stacks of granite boulders lie these exceptional wineries. Here the soil and vineyards are treated as a living ecosystem and the link between plant growth and rhythms of the cosmos is celebrated. A place of minimal intervention. Where nature speaks for itself.

Top: mandarin, lime, kelp, flint (accord), curry leaf (accord)

Heart: Native honey myrtle, native fragonia, linden blossom, violet leaf

Base: native Western Australian sandalwood, treemoss

We acknowledge the Wadandi and Pibelmen people, the Traditional Custodians of the Margaret River lands and waters and pay our respects to their elders past and present.

Fragrance is one of the most defining style signatures.

“This unique scented candle contains the passion and identity of my interiors, curated in the same way with an elegant layering of architectural precision and luxurious decorative embellishment. Celebrating a twenty-one-year milestone, designed as the signature scent for my studio, it is an unmistakable sensory experience of my world.” - David Hicks.

The heart of this fragrance is a robust leather accord, playfully contrasting against vibrant, decorative accents of grapefruit, elemi, and cardamom which provide a crisp, luxurious edge. Elegant, architectural notes are found in the sumptuous warmth of cedarwood, juniper, and vetiver, whilst amber and clove combine richness and texture.

In honour of the re-opening of the Ladies Lounge at Mona, we’re thrilled to introduce you to our commemorative fragrance “the Verdict” made for the Lounge to celebrate Kirsha Kaechele and the Lounge’s victory in the Supreme Court.

This “scent of victory” is collectable, timeless and elegant, from the delectable fragrance notes—which boast an elegant bouquet of fine florals and their lush green stems, plus juicy citrus and a hint of spice—to the unique hand-rolled gold-lustred ceramic tops, which were lovingly crafted by Material Institute Tasmania. 

Kirsha says it may also be applied as a disinfectant in environments of strong patriarchal power and toxic masculinity.

Artist and curator Kirsha Kaechele’s tremendously lavish space welcomes ladies for a final month of celebration and indulgence—where you become part of a living installation—before the Lounge leaves Mona forever. She’s even letting some boys in, for domestic arts lessons and other reparations.

Originally created in 2020 in homage to Kirsha’s great-grandmother Tootsie, the Lounge is an oasis amidst the art, architecture and male hubris of Mona—a haven of priceless treasures and enlightened conversation where the only man present is the butler, who does as he’s told.

In 2024, following a lengthy legal process which saw the artwork subject to an anti-discrimination complaint (brought forward by a man), a tribunal ruled that the Ladies Lounge must ‘cease refusing entry to persons who do not identify as ladies’. Kaechele opted to close the Lounge instead of opening it to men.

She then donned her power suit and pearls to appeal the case in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, where the original ruling was overturned. In celebration, the Lounge will open for a victory lap before moving on from Mona. Men are (still) not permitted, though the opportunity to be of service will be available to a select few if they queue nicely.

Key Ingredients:
Bergamot, mandarin, pink pepper, 
Rose, jasmine, carnation,
Sandalwood, vetiver, musk
