Broken Cricket Bat 50ml Eau de Parfum bottle — British niche woody fragrance by Signature Smithen
British Niche Woody Fragrance · Signature Smithen

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.

Fragrance profile

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.

The process

How it works

01

Order the 1.5ml sample

Add the sample to your cart. Delivery is calculated at checkout. No subscription, no commitment, no catch.

02

Wear it properly

Spray on pulse points and let it dry down fully — the sandalwood and oud base takes time to settle, so you experience the whole fragrance on your own skin before you decide.

03

Choose your bottle

If it’s right, move to the 50ml. If it’s not, you’ve spent $9 and learned something about what your skin wants.

Questions

Frequently asked

A woody aromatic perfume: pink pepper and cardamom up front, cedarwood through the heart, and sandalwood and oud in the base, with patchouli, blue cypress and juniper berry in support. Rich, layered and unmistakably British.
Yes. The 1.5ml sample contains exactly the same Broken Cricket Bat Eau de Parfum as the full 50ml bottle — same concentration, same ingredients, same experience.
Broken Cricket Bat is an Eau de Parfum with a sandalwood and oud base. Wear time varies with skin, climate and how much you apply, so the best test is your own skin, starting with the 1.5ml sample. The sandalwood and oud are what stay with you after the pink pepper and cardamom settle.
Yes. Broken Cricket Bat is a unisex niche perfume by Signature Smithen. The woody, resinous profile suits anyone who wants depth, character and originality — it doesn’t lean masculine or feminine.

Signature Smithen — independent UK fragrance brandBroken Cricket Bat · Signature Smithen · Est. 2025
The smell of willow, linseed, and a long British afternoon.

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.
