The Story

Someone has hung a worn red suit in a cellar of French oak barrels, next to tobacco leaves and a freshly emptied cask. Lost Tribe took the name from the film and made a holiday amber, resins wrapped in vanilla and orange, with tobacco and dry oak so the sweetness never quite behaves.

Fragrance Character

Rum flares up and fades fast, leaving a thick, resinous warmth with a faint smell of cake from the roasted barley. Through the evening, tobacco keeps dragging the sugar back, so it never turns sticky. By bedtime it is still warm and sweet, and anyone hugged goes home with some of it.

Lost Tribe Bad Santa performance and seasonality

Best Worn

The Christmas party once the speeches are over and the ties come off. A clever Secret Santa for a lover of sweet amber and vanilla; skip it if sugary scents tire you.

The Maison

Lost Tribe

Small tribe, real musk, no compromises, poured while stock of the originals lasts.

Lost Tribe makes fragrance that feels lived in and loud, the kind that arrives before you do and lingers after you leave. There is a maximalist streak running through the whole house, from sun drunk tropical fruit to resin thick vanilla to rare oud built on aged Kinam.

Maximalist naturals, aged Kinam
