SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS















You may ask yourself, ‘What a strange name for a perfume’?? 


To understand why this is aptly named ‘Sleeping with Ghosts’ you would have to look into the creative mind of Mark Buxton.


Mark Buxton



Mark Buxton is a world renown perfumer  with a love and passion for life.  Mark Buxton  was born in England but his creative intellect and fervent nature fell in love with Paris and all things Parisian. An enthusiast for Art Deco, antiques, a lover of things past. This artistic soul found his niche in perfume and 25 years ago began his career as one of the best ‘noses’ in Perfumery.  









Mark has been involved with some of the great Designer perfume houses in the world. Givenchy, Paco Rabanne, Versace, Chopard, to name just a few and notedly Comme des Garcon with which he has had a long term liaison.




What makes his creations special is that his perfumes reflect his belief in refinement and beauty combine this with passion and sentiment you have some
of the most extraordinary scents of our modern times


‘Sleeping with Ghosts’ is just one of the many scents in which he has poured his heart and soul into.This scent is about the past, about memories good and bad. remembering the tender moments in our life that are important to us.
 So if you think this perfume is smoky or gothicly broody you will be pleasantly surprised that it’s not.  

This scent is sweet and lingering with a top note of marigold, and quince supported by a mid note of peony and leather and sleeping on a base of vetiver and vanilla. 






Sweet memories of the past, memories of past connections that stir up emotions of the heart.


All of Mark Burton’s conceptions are about passion, emotion, love and life.
