    Description

    Holy Oak by LVNEA is a natural and botanical Eau de Parfum that transports the wearer deep into a rain-soaked ancient forest. Lush notes of galbanum, cedar leaf, and pine resin evoke mossy branches and wet bark, weaving seamlessly into a heart of ethereal frankincense and wild rose absolute. The scent unfolds on a base of rich oakwood, oakmoss, ambrette seed, and sandalwood, capturing the quiet magic of petrichor and woodland air. This immersive creation is as grounding as it is transportive, crafted to awaken the senses and evoke the wild beauty of nature. Perfumer: April Lea

    About LVNEA

    LVNEA
    LVNEA is a Canadian fragrance house based in Montreal, founded by perfumer April Lea. The brand name comes from the Latin word for “moon,” and its identity is steeped in mysticism, nature, and ritual. LVNEA is best known for its natural, small-batch perfumes—crafted primarily with botanicals, resins, and essential oils rather than synthetic aromachemicals. Their scents often explore the intersection of the natural world and the arcane, evoking forests, smoke, minerals, and atmospheric moods rather than conventional “perfume structures.” The line includes perfume oils, eau de parfums, and atmospheric mists, as well as body and home rituals like incense and bath soaks. Each creation tends to feel moody, sensual, and transportive, appealing to fragrance lovers who seek something artisanal, evocative, and slightly witchy.
