Read articleBroken Cricket Bat · 1.5ml Sample
A 1.5ml atomiser of Broken Cricket Bat — enough for several wears. Willow, linseed and warm woody spice. Experience the full arc from the pink pepper opening to the oakmoss dry-down before committing to a bottle.
£6 — you cover delivery. Ships from the UK.

What you’re ordering
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 spirit of the British summer in a bottle.
The 1.5ml sample is the same formula as the full 50ml bottle. Wear it across several occasions, watch it develop from the spiced pink pepper opening through the blue cypress heart to the sandalwood, oud and oakmoss base.
If you’re looking for a niche woody perfume sample in the UK, a sandalwood and oud discovery set, or simply an original British fragrance to try before buying — this is where to start.

01
Pink Pepper
Top note
Bright, spiced heat. The opening strike — electric without aggression, peppery without being brash.
02
Juniper Berry
Top note
Crisp and resinous. Adds a clean, outdoors quality to the opening — sharp without coldness.
03
Blue Cypress
Heart note
Smoky and distinctly British. The structural heart — resinous, woody, unmistakably English countryside.
04
Sandalwood
Base note
Creamy natural warmth. The foundation that softens the resinous heart and carries the fragrance forward.
05
Oud
Base note
A trace of resinous depth folded beneath the sandalwood — present, not dominant, adding quiet longevity rather than driving the character.

Order the 1.5ml sample
Add the sample to your cart. You pay £6 to cover UK delivery. No subscription, no commitment, no catch.
02
Wear it properly
Spray on pulse points and wear it through the day. Let it dry down fully — the oud and oakmoss base takes time to settle. Three to five sprays gives you room to decide.
03
Choose your bottle
If it’s right, move to the 50ml. If it’s not, you’ve spent £6 and learned something about what your skin wants.
A British niche woody fragrance with pink pepper, juniper berry, blue cypress, cedarwood, sandalwood and oud. Bold, layered, long-lasting. The spirit of the British summer in a bottle.

Broken Cricket Bat · Signature Smithen · Est. 2025
The brand
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 juniper open it, blue cypress and clary sage shape its heart, and sandalwood, oud and oakmoss carry it through.
