The fragrances were named after Henry David Thoreau's seminal work "Walden", a book that harnesses simple living in harmony with nature and was inspired by the author after having lived in the woods on Lake Walden Pond for two years. Since its publication, it has inspired numerous readers with lessons on self-sufficiency and anti-materialism.

The high-quality natural fragrances by the British brand Walden Perfumes are handmade in small batches from purely natural ingredients and without any synthetic substitutes. Walden Perfumes thus build upon high perfumery traditions from days gone by.
