No One Elsie, named after Adam’s Grandmother, takes inspiration from her greenhouse - the safe space of his childhood, where he soaked in the scent of fresh leafy greenery.
This warming scent delivers an everyday, hedonistic escape with fresh captivating head notes of tomato leaf and rhubarb entwined with the warmer, headier heart notes of honeysuckle and redcurrant.
This serene starting point overlays an intoxicating, velvety ground note of palo santo and vetiver to keep you feeling uplifted throughout the day.

Smells Amazing
Very pleased to have been able to buy a trial size (have so many 'used once' full size products which have done nothing for my hair). Smells amazing, doesn't irritate my scalp, and doesn't make hair feel 'waxy' and heavy. Will wait and see to what extent it tames the dreaded frizz, but happy to go ahead and order a full size one IDC.
