House of Orpheus

Marcus R. McCoy, the founder and master perfumer behind the House of Orpheus, is a devoted student of the enchanting world of fragrances. He embarked on his aromatic journey under the guidance of a revered South American shaman, delving into the allure of exotic Amazonian blossoms and unraveling the language of scent conveyed by plants. Immersing himself in the intricate craft of distillation and extraction, Marcus immersed in the mystical origins of perfumery, recognizing each creation as a unique piece of art that transcends the physical realm. He ardently believes that perfumery is a form of high art, intended to evoke something greater, something sublime. Drawing inspiration from Orpheus, the renowned musician, poet, and prophet of the Orphic Mysteries, Marcus crafts fragrances that defy conventional boundaries. Each fragrance bears the name of Orpheus, paying homage to the legendary figure who penned hymns to the Greek deities, often concluding with the burning of sacred incense - a practice that greatly influences Marcus' aromatic compositions. Through his olfactory symphonies, Marcus aspires to awaken the senses and stir the soul, inviting you to experience a transformative journey with every scent he creates.
