Wookey Hole Unveils a Groundbreaking First in Fine Fragrance: Eau de Guano
After a year of meticulous research and development, the team has made a discovery set to revolutionise perfumery forever—introducing Eau de Guano, a scent inspired by the raw power of the Mendip Hills and formulated with a truly unique ingredient: bat poo.
This innovative fragrance is the result of a collaboration with Geraldo Q’uattel II, Somerset’s leading perfumier, who has harnessed the natural properties of poo (also known as guano) to create something never before seen in the world of scent.
“Ambergris, a highly prized ingredient in luxury perfumery, originates from whale intestines, making it both rare and valuable,” explains Q’uattel. “But when was the last time you saw a whale in Weston or Brean? Wookey Hole challenged me to find an alternative, and upon closer examination, we discovered that bat guano possesses similar olfactory fixative properties—an incredible breakthrough.”
But it’s not just the fixative properties that make Eau de Guano remarkable. The scent is enriched with natural pheromones, making it one of the most captivating and potent fragrances ever created.
The Scent Profile
- Top Notes: A crisp, mineral freshness inspired by the River Axe, with hints of fennel seed and sage oil.
- Heart Notes: A mystical blend of tuberose extract, lavender oil, and an ethereal quartz infusion.
- Base Notes: A deep, earthy allure with the primal richness of guano, the lingering minerality of the caves, and the warm, woody depth of sandalwood resin.
Each hand-crafted bottle contains this rare elixir, sourced through a delicate and carefully controlled process to ensure the protection of Wookey Hole’s resident bats and their precious habitat. Due to the challenges of guano harvesting, supplies of Eau de Guano are extremely limited.
