Eram
Frater Perfumes (2022)

Jamie Frater, Perfumer & Creative Director:

I created Eram chiefly to explore the nuances of an exquisite wild extraction of galbanum that I had been offered by one of my regular suppliers of rare oils. On first smell I was drawn immediately to the exotic and far distant gardens of the Middle East. Eden, the most famous garden and the wellspring from whence man was brought forth was too obvious a choice. Nebuchadnezzar The Great's famous hanging gardens of Babylon were another option, but in the end it was a dusty old leather-bound book of poetry that led me to Bagh-E-Eram. The Eram garden is a treasure of ancient Persia and it remains to this day in Shiraz. It was constructed during the 11th century A.D. and was named after a legendary Persian garden that was meant to be an earthly competitor to Paradise.
