Raconteur

Details

The complete second chapter of The Raconteur's Australian Gourmand Collection in one beautifully curated discovery set. Six 2ml vials, six stories — each one a distinctly Australian portrait rendered in scent by Sydney-based perfumer and founder Craig Andrade. From the neon heat of a 3am dance floor to the meditative stillness of a tropical rainforest in the rain, this set maps the full emotional spectrum of Australian life through irreverent, genre-defying fragrances built on native botanicals, food-inspired accords, and bold storytelling. Gender-transcendent and handmade in Australia.

How To Use

Apply 2–3 sprays to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, or inner elbows. Allow the fragrance to settle on warm skin for 2–3 minutes as the opening notes evolve into the heart and dry-down. Test each scent across the full set before choosing a full-size favourite.

Key Ingredients — The Six Scents

• KILLR VANILLR — Oriental Vanilla · The Dance Floor — A mirrorball take on vanilla: creamy, smoky, and darkly animalic. Opens with vanilla, white chocolate, and orris butter before deepening into liquorice, patchouli, and the dark resinous warmth of labdanum. Notes: Vanilla · White Chocolate · Orris · Liquorice · Labdanum · Patchouli · Vetiver · Australian Native Sandalwood.
• NO-TELL MOTEL — Woody Spicy · Date Night — Part dirty martini, part spiced margarita — a seductive, moody woody-green built around olive fruit absolute and Tasmanian mountain pepper with a warm amber and sandalwood dry-down. Notes: Olive Fruit Absolute · Tasmanian Mountain Pepper · Australian Native White Cypress · Amber · Australian Native Sandalwood · Musk.
• PAVLOVA KASANOVA — Floral Fruity Gourmand · The Christmas Table — A sun-drenched homage to Australia's most beloved dessert. Juicy passionfruit and native lime open bright and tangy, softening into creamy meringue, powdery orris, and a warm sandalwood base. Notes: Passionfruit · Australian Native Lime · Orris · Cream · Meringue · Vetiver · Australian Native Sandalwood · Musk.
• MS. MACADAMIA — Floral Gourmand · The Independent Spirit — A soft, nutty, and deeply Australian floral: creamy macadamia and native mimosa at the heart, rounded by peach, orris, vanilla, and sandalwood for a scent that is confident, warm, and quietly addictive. Notes: Australian Native Macadamia · Australian Native Mimosa · Orris · Peach · Vetiver · Vanilla · Australian Native Sandalwood.
• LORD LAMINGTON — Gourmand Amber · The Ambitious One — Rich, layered, and unapologetically indulgent — an olfactory lamington: bergamot and strawberry open fresh before giving way to the warm gourmand core of coconut, cocoa, clary sage, and white cypress, all anchored in amber cream. Notes: Bergamot · Strawberry · Clary Sage · Coconut · Australian Native White Cypress · Cocoa · Amber · Cream.
• DAINTREE RAIN TEA — Woody Fresh · The Meditative Escape — The quietest and most contemplative scent in the collection. Rain on tropical leaves, black tea, chamomile, sea salt, blue lotus, and native Buddawood combine into a deeply calming, meditative fragrance that feels like solitude in the world's oldest rainforest. Notes: Black Tea · Bergamot · Australian Native Buddawood · Chamomile · Blue Lotus · Vetiver · Sea Salt · Rainforest Leaves.
