Olfactory notes

The composition.

Citrus Grove opens with lemon and bergamot, an immediate clarity that feels crisp rather than sharp. Jasmine and violet form a subtle floral heart beneath the citrus. Patchouli and cedarwood settle last, grounding the composition in gentle earth and clean, dry wood.

How it wears

Lemon, jasmine and patchouli, the notes of Citrus Grove

I  ·  First spray

The opening

Clean, bright and quietly confident. Lemon and bergamot arrive together for an immediate sense of clarity, a fresh brightness that feels crisp rather than sharp.

II  ·  The heart

The heart of the scent

Jasmine and violet form a subtle floral heart, adding softness and depth without tipping the fragrance into sweetness.

III  ·  The dry-down

The settle

Patchouli and cedarwood ground the composition in gentle earth and clean, dry woods. What remains is composed and streamlined: a citrus that balances freshness with understated warmth.

The scent, in the order it arrives.

Neil Jacobs, perfumer and co-founder of Sir Jacobs

THE PERFUMER

NEIL JACOBS

“Citrus Grove is one of those fragrances that just makes you feel put together. It’s bright and fresh, but the patchouli gives it enough depth that it never feels like a simple citrus fragrance.”

THE CERAMIST

STEPHAN JACOBS

“Every vessel begins soft enough to remember a touch. The relief is pressed by hand before the clay fully sets — it is the only moment in the process where the material still yields. After 1220°C, it remembers nothing else.”

I  ·  THE CASTING

Cast by hand

Each perfume bottle begins as liquid porcelain slip, cast by hand into a plaster mould in our Johannesburg studio.

II  ·  THE FETTLING

Refined while it yields

Once released, every piece is left to dry for several days before being meticulously fettled: edges softened, lines refined, and surfaces smoothed with tools and wet sponging. After this shaping stage, the vessels dry again for a further two to three days before entering the kiln.

III  ·  THE FIRING

Two paths through the kiln

Some bottles are left unglazed and receive a single high-temperature firing, resulting in a soft, tactile matte finish that highlights the natural character of porcelain. Others undergo a two-step process: an initial bisque firing followed by glazing and a final high-temperature firing, creating a glossy, smooth surface with a polished, glasslike feel.

IV  ·  THE FINISHING

Sanded, filled, released

Once fired to 1220°C, each vessel is wet-sanded with a fine abrasive to achieve perfect smoothness. Only the most flawless bottles pass our quality control before reaching the filling line, where they are filled with perfume, fitted with a high quality perfume pump and branded zinc-alloy cap, and finally boxed for release.

Porcelain vessels drying on studio shelves before the kiln

More than a container, the vessel is an object of craftsmanship which has been shaped slowly, finished by hand, and made to be kept.

PROVENANCE

Our fragrances are composed, bottled and boxed in South Africa.

Each porcelain vessel is designed and handmade locally by our in-house ceramicists.
