Woody & Aromatic Perfume

Broken Cricket Bat sits alongside independent woody-aromatic houses like Jorum Studio, Perfumer H and Haeckels — small British and Scottish perfumers building around real sandalwood, oud and cypress rather than a marketing brief.

It opens with pink pepper, juniper berry and cardamom, moves through a resinous, faintly smoky heart of blue cypress and clary sage, and settles into a sandalwood, oud and oakmoss base built to last 7–10 hours. It's drawn from a single memory rather than a reference bottle: the smell of a well-used cricket bat on a British summer evening.

Curious how it compares to the fragrance that made sandalwood famous? Read our Santal 33 alternatives guide, or start with a 1.5ml sample before committing to the full 50ml bottle.

Prefer something warmer and spicier? Peppery Amber sits in our spicy amber perfume collection. Testing both is the cheapest way to decide — see all 1.5ml perfume samples.
