This month? We try out The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum…
The Maker’s Lover Eau de Parfum is your next must-spritz scent. Crafted by the kind of company that speaks our language, it’s born out of The Maker Hotel in upstate New York and rooted in old-world craft with modern conviction. Think of it like a Swiss watchmaker for scent: obsessive about quality, allergic to shortcuts and quietly confident about value. In an era of disposable culture and mass-market sameness, this niche brand stands for investment pieces—objects with soul, built to last. Not to mention, Lover smells as fantastic as it sounds.
Earthy and woody with a warm profile that feels intimate and welcoming, this scent is a slow, hypnotic, grounded and magnetic burn. On first spritz, luscious fig hits with a creamy green sweetness, immediately softened by a flash of sparkling vetiver. Moments later, flirtatious jasmine sambac and narcissus blooms burst forward, before settling into an arousing blend of sultry oud and cozy sandalwood, their resinous and quietly sensual undertones locking the scent into the skin. The overall effect is confidence without armor, intimacy without barriers and heat without fire.
Housed in a heavy, ribbed clear-glass flask inspired by antique ink bottles and finished with a minimalist paper label, the bottle channels the hotel’s unmistakeable design DNA. Made with recycled glass using lower-impact production methods, it also reinforces The Maker’s thoughtful, modern ethos, positioning Lover as a true investment scent that’s as cold-weather worthy and artisanal as it is damn near impossible not to love.
The Maker Lover Eau de Parfum, $236 for 50 ml, available at Sephora.
