FORMULA IV
MASTER PERFUMERS X MASTER CHEMISTS
Perfect Alchemy.
Every Northborne product starts bare with the vision of our master perfumers, artisans who craft bold, head-turning scent profiles that defy the ordinary, amplifying and igniting your presence.
Drawing from the artistry and heritage of classic cologne craftsmanship, each note is carefully selected for impact, longevity, projection, and complexity, creating a cohesive and unique fragrance experience that captivates the senses and lingers with an unmistakable magnetic edge resulting in a signature that makes you unforgettable in every space you enter.
Once our perfumers have tested, refined and perfected our fragrance, the next stage belongs to our master chemists- the architects of Northborne performance.
Starting from the ground up our chemists developed a skin safe, precision-engineered formula refined through science. Using advanced surfactant systems we have developed a true cleaning powerhouse that obliterates stains and eradicates odours leaving you and your fabrics recharged, refreshed and ready to seize the day.
With the foundation perfected, our chemists meticulously integrate each finished fragrance into the formula. Through careful balancing and stability engineering, they ensure every note endures the wash and remains vivid, magnetic, and true to its original character—preserving projection, longevity, and clarity without ever compromising cleaning performance.
Together, our perfumers and chemists form a modern alchemy: artistry meets science, fragrance meets function, transforming an everyday chore into an intentional ritual of mastery, power and presence.
