We compose perfumes for the contemporary wearer.
NUGIRAY is the fragrance atelier of a Chinese house.
We are based in Guangzhou.
Fragrance is not decoration.
We believe in compositions that are honest.
Our atelier in Guangzhou is composed of three workshops.
Each of the six compositions has passed through this atelier multiple times.
We work directly with growers and distillers in the regions that produce the world's finest raw materials.
The birthplace of modern perfumery. Our floral absolutes come from family-run fields in Grasse, harvested at dawn when the yield is highest.
Mysore's red soils produce sandalwood with a depth and creaminess found nowhere else. Our supplier holds a five-generation lineage.
The IGP-protected citrus of the Calabrian coast — cold-pressed in our atelier within 48 hours of harvest.
Wild-harvested by Berber cooperatives. Our cedar essential oil carries the resinous warmth of high-altitude forests.
Our home terroir. The high-altitude teas and medicinal botanicals of Yunnan provide a distinctively Chinese olfactive palette.
Aged patchouli leaves, sun-dried for weeks, distilled slowly. Our supplier works with 200 smallholder farmers.
Our perfumers follow a four-stage composition method.
We begin each composition by selecting 18 to 24 raw materials.
The perfumer constructs three accords.
The composition rests in stainless steel tanks for a minimum of eight weeks.
Each batch is cold-filtered, decanted, and bottled by hand.
