What you’re ordering
A sample built for real wear.
There’s a particular smell to a well-used cricket bat. Willow, linseed, the warmth of a long afternoon. Broken Cricket Bat captures that layered character.
The 1.5ml sample is the same formula as the full 50ml bottle. Wear it across several occasions, watch it develop from the pink pepper and cardamom opening through the cedarwood heart to the sandalwood and oud base.
If you’re looking for a niche woody perfume sample, a sandalwood and oud discovery set, or simply an original British fragrance to try before buying — this is where to start.

The notes
01
Pink Pepper
Top note
Bright, spiced heat. The opening strike — electric without aggression, peppery without being brash.
02
Cardamom
Top note
Warm, aromatic spice. Rounds out the pepper and gives the opening its glow.
03
Cedarwood
Heart note
Dry, clean wood. The structural heart the rest of the fragrance is built around.
04
Sandalwood
Base note
Creamy, soft warmth. Smooths the oud and carries the fragrance into the dry-down.
05
Oud
Base note
Dark, resinous wood. Sits alongside the sandalwood in the base, adding depth beneath the spice and cedar.

Frequently asked
The brand
Independent. Original. British.
Signature Smithen was founded for fragrance lovers who seek character over conformity. We don’t make dupes. We don’t copy what’s already on the shelves.
Broken Cricket Bat is drawn from a single source of inspiration: the particular smell of a well-used bat — willow, linseed, warm afternoons. Pink pepper and cardamom open it, cedarwood shapes its heart, and sandalwood and oud carry it through.
