Featured Perfumes
50ML PARFUM
Leathery, Earthy, Green
Gentlemen's Club is a rich green leather fragrance that instantly commands attention with its vibrant opening of crisp lemon, quickly settling into the deep, earthy tones of vetiver. As the scent develops, a robust heart of fine leather emerges, perfectly balanced by a warm, lingering base of musk. This distinctive combination creates an aura of timeless sophistication, evoking the refined atmosphere of a private sanctuary where tradition meets modern elegance.
The fragrance serves as an olfactory ode to the exclusive establishments of 1800s London, where the elite would gather to smoke fine cigars and debate current affairs. It captures the essence of those dimly lit rooms, rich with the scent of polished wood, aged tobacco, and the luxurious leather armchairs that cradled the era's most influential minds. Wearing Gentlemen's Club is like stepping back into a world of classic masculinity, where every detail was tailored to perfection.

50ML PARFUM
Leathery, Ambery, Floral, Musky
Cuir de Russie is a classic perfume that draws inspiration from 19th-century formulations, designed to authentically recreate the essence of this historical fragrance. The perfume opens with a vibrant and zesty blend of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, creating an inviting citrus accord. At its heart, the rich floral notes of rose and jasmine are harmoniously intertwined with the spicy warmth of clove and the earthy depth of iris root, adding complexity and sophistication to the composition.
The base of Cuir de Russie is where its leathery character truly shines, with the smoky and resinous notes of styrax, castoreum, and birch tar forming the foundation. These are complemented by the warm, woody tones of patchouli from Sumatra, Bourbon vetiver, and the balsamic sweetness of benzoin. Sandalwood and the rare, musky essence of ethically sourced Siberian deer musk tincture add the final touches, enveloping the wearer in a luxurious and timeless scent.

What People Are Saying
“Votum has rapidly become one of my favorite houses. Truly exquisite fragrances which somehow, magically, take classic, vintage fragrance motifs and places them firmly in the 21st century. You can smell the high quality of the ingredients. The perfumer is taking fragrance above & beyond. These are some of the most beautiful, unique, and transportative fragrances available.”
- Ivette
“I have been lucky enough to sample all the fragrances in the line. Amante is a lavish scent, with its sparkling aldehydes and gorgeous floral bouquet. Civette explores the allure of civet that has nothing to do with the modern synthetic material with its urinous and perianal tone; here it is pure sensuality and complements beautifully the ambery base. Desmond is the most luscious tuberose and Ivette explores the theme of vintage violets. All masterpieces.”

“I am tremendously impressed by the concept, beauty and quality of Votum perfumes. There is an intensity, purity and impeccable artistry evident in each one. But, while I’ve been impressed by every Votum fragrance I’ve sampled, both Desmond and Ivette completely stole my heart. While each is completely different in vibe and spirit, they are both bold, romantic, and impossibly elegant creations that take the art of perfumery to another level.”
