Redchurch joined the Handsome portfolio in 2015. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the fern family. The nose behind this fragrance — Sarah McCartney. Concentration — eau de cologne: exactly what it needs to be.
Made in the United Kingdom, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Redchurch is shaped as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Handsome is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de Cologne keeps the right density and pace of development.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Fruit, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the opening appears as one connected movement with a juicy exotic mood: Apple, Cardamom, Cedar and Green Tea. Here 4 notes act as one coherent layer, creating playful berry energy that feels seamless.
The middle and base stages are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Fruit, Spicy, Wood and Drinks. At family level the composition sits in Fern.
Taken together Redchurch reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
