There’s a paradoxical feeling one gets from staring at the ocean. Surveying the immense power and chaos of waves crashing on the shore somehow lends a sense of peace.

Our fragrance Kiawah is also a study in dichotomy, with the warm scent of Virginia Cedar blending perfectly with the crisp scent of cool ocean tides. The combination is accented with clean Citrus and smooth Amber.

The resulting fragrance is both assertive and understated, seemingly growing more complex as you wear it.

Inspired by the island off the coast of South Carolina famed for its fresh air, beautiful beaches, and fascinating history, Kiawah is the perfect fragrance for every season.

Hamid Merati Kashani
Born in Germany, to an Iranian father and German mother, he was raised in Isfahan, Iran, until the end of the revolution in 1979. He defines himself as, “Iranian in education, and German in organization.” With poignant memories of growing up amongst fields of roses, where friends distilled rose oil, Hamid fought hard to become a perfumer and knows success can be taken for granted.

Merati-Keshani's signature style of creating strong, long-lasting fragrances is defined by what he calls "overdosing. By using far more of a signature ingredient than what one would normally expect from other perfumers, he creates scents that truly stand out from the crowd."

A Note from the Perfumer:
"I created Calle Ocho for Fulton & Roark, which is a fragrance that is for someone who looks for original scents that make a mark. The Firmenich Naturals Together ingredients used in this creation – such as cinnamon from Sri Lanka, and Australian Sandalwood – are not only strong in scent but are also sourced responsibly and have a positive social impact."
