Embark on a fragrant journey with TEISENDDU, an Eau de Parfum inspired by the Welsh settlers' voyage to Patagonia. Discover the scent of history intertwined with nature.

In May 1865, a group of 153 Welsh emigrants embarked on a journey that would forever link the lush green landscapes of Wales with the arid, rugged terrain of Patagonia. Traveling on an old converted tea clipper named the Mimosa, they covered a staggering 7,000 miles to establish a new settlement in the distant lands of South America. This historic voyage and the settlers’ rich cultural heritage are the inspiration behind TEISENDDU, an evocative Eau de Parfum. Created by perfumer Roxanne Kirkpatrick under the creative direction of Natalia Outeda, TEISENDDU encapsulates the essence of this incredible journey, blending the warm, comforting notes of Welsh tradition with the wild, untamed spirit of Patagonia.

The Historical Voyage of the Mimosa

The Mimosa's voyage is a tale of courage, hope, and resilience. Departing from Liverpool, these Welsh settlers sought to escape the socio-economic struggles of their homeland, dreaming of a new life in the uncharted territories of Patagonia. Upon arriving in Porth Madryn, they faced numerous hardships, but their determination and communal spirit helped them to adapt and thrive. The legacy of these settlers is still evident in the region's culture, language, and traditions, offering a rich tapestry that continues to inspire and intrigue.

TEISENDDU: A Scent Story

TEISENDDU, named after the traditional Welsh black cake, is a luxurious Eau de Parfum that tells the story of the Mimosa's voyage through a masterful blend of natural ingredients. Each note in this fragrance serves as a sensory landmark, guiding us through the historical and cultural landscapes of Wales and Patagonia.

Top Notes: The Departure

The scent journey begins with vibrant top notes of bitter orange, rum, and juniper. The bitter orange provides a refreshing citrus burst, reminiscent of the invigorating Welsh countryside. The addition of rum evokes the adventurous spirit of the voyagers setting sail, while juniper adds a crisp, aromatic layer that hints at the maritime voyage ahead.

Heart Notes: The Voyage

As the fragrance develops, heart notes of nutmeg and mimosa emerge. Nutmeg, with its warm, spicy profile, represents the comforting familiarity of home, a nod to the settlers’ beloved Welsh tearooms. Mimosa, with its sweet, floral essence, symbolizes the new opportunities and the blossoming hope they carried with them. These notes are macerated in dried fruits and nuts, creating a rich, decadent heart that mirrors the settlers’ cherished traditions and culinary heritage.

Base Notes: The Arrival

The journey concludes with base notes of dark sugar crystals and leather. The dark sugar crystals provide a deep, sweet foundation, reminiscent of the Welsh torta negra, a cake rich in dried fruits and spices. Leather adds a rugged, earthy dimension, reflecting the challenging yet rewarding new life the settlers carved out in Patagonia. This complex blend lingers on the skin, much like the enduring legacy of the Welsh community in their adopted homeland.
