Ineke – exclusive fragrances at Living in Store

Living in Store is thrilled to be only the second UK stockist of the incredibly special Ineke fragrance range.

The six fragrances, created by Canadian-born perfumer Ineke Ruhland, are beautiful and imaginative, both in their scent and in their presentation.  Cleverly packaged with a keen attention to detail, each eau de parfum  tells a story through photos, art, snippets of verse and, most importantly, the fragrance itself.

Using lyrical titles that evoke thoughts of romance, nature, chemistry and courage, Ineke fragrances are rooted in their creator’s  classical perfumery education and apprenticeship in France – After My Own Heart, Balmy Days & Sundays, Chemical Bonding, Derring-Do, Evening Edged in Gold and Field Notes from Paris.

Living in Store aims to provide the kind of shopping experience rarely found outside of London’s famous and historic department stores.  Ineke joins an exclusive group of fragrance houses and skincare brands at Living in Store including Vrai by Fragonard, Nobile 1942, Fougere Royale by Houbigant, Ombre Rose by Jean-Charles Brosseau, Amanda Lacey and Elizabeth’s Daughter.

The Ineke range will be available online shortly at £80 for 75ml.
