Beaufort’s Vi et Armis is smokey without being dusty, juicy with a slight hint of liquorice. The exciting perfume Vi et Armis explores the United Kingdom’s complex relationship with other nations and her dominion over the sea through the ages. Like the perfume, powerful, narcotic, and at the same time provocative and addictive.
The perfume is composed of historical ingredients that the ships of yesteryear carried as top notes and recalls the words of Bernard Shaw: “Emotional excitement reaches men through tea, tobacco, opium, whisky, and religion”. Paradoxical and challenging, BeauFort London imagines the roots of their island nation steeped in contradictions.

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.
