The Signature Smithen Philosophy

Niche Perfumery
We don’t do dupes

Niche Perfumery

Broken Cricket Bat started from a single memory, not a brief or a reference bottle. As an independent British house, we compose each fragrance from scratch and release it only when it's right, not to a trend.

We don’t do dupes—dupes dupe us.

At Signature Smithen, we create for those who seek character, not conformity. Being niche gives us the freedom to take creative risks, follow instinct over trends, and focus on depth rather than volume. Broken Cricket Bat was not made to please everyone. It was made to resonate with those drawn to scents with distinction — fragrances that feel different, personal and full of character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Woody and aromatic. It opens bright with pink pepper and cardamom, turns dry and clean as the cedarwood comes through, and settles into soft sandalwood and darker oud. It's built around the smell of a well-used cricket bat.

Cedarwood is the heart of Broken Cricket Bat. It smells dry, clean and pencil-shaving woody, with a faint smokiness, and it gives the fragrance its warm-wood, oiled-willow character. Cardamom brightens it from above, while sandalwood and oud deepen it from below.

Sandalwood brings warmth and smoothness to the base. Its soft, creamy woodiness rounds off the drier cedarwood and the spice of the opening, so the dry-down feels smooth rather than sharp. It shares the base with oud, which makes Broken Cricket Bat a woody aromatic fragrance rather than a pure sandalwood scent.

No, they're different materials with different characters. Oud comes from agarwood resin and smells dark, resinous and slightly animalic, while sandalwood is a soft, creamy, milky wood. In Broken Cricket Bat they sit together in the base: the sandalwood keeps the dry-down smooth and the oud adds depth beneath the cedarwood.

Yes. Patchouli is a supporting note in the base, beneath the sandalwood and oud. It adds an earthy, slightly resinous depth rather than the heavy, musty patchouli some people expect.

Yes. Broken Cricket Bat was made without a gender brief. Sandalwood, oud and cypress aren't his or hers notes; they're just notes.

Yes, this 1.5ml sample is the exact same Eau de Parfum as the 50ml bottle, just in a smaller size so you can try it first.

That depends on how much you apply each time. It's enough to experience Broken Cricket Bat on your own skin before choosing a full-size bottle.
