since 2021 : A New Ritual of Scent and Nature

Launched in London in 2021, Verden is the creation of Charlotte Semler and Arabella Preston, the duo behind cult skincare favorite Votary. While Votary was rooted in Arabella’s passion for plant oils and makeup artistry, Verden was born from Charlotte’s childhood in Denmark, where the crisp air, grassy fields, and salt-tanged sea imprinted lasting memories of calm.

Out of the stillness of the pandemic, when the world collectively craved connection and grounding, the founders imagined a new way to weave nature back into daily life. Verden became that answer: a fragrance-led brand designed to transform simple routines into mindful rituals. Its name, Danish for “the world,” is both a philosophy and an invitation to reconnect with the elemental beauty around us.

about Verden

Neither strictly skincare nor traditional fragrance, Verden exists in a space between: where scent, body care, and well-being intersect. Its mission is not to correct, but to elevate the everyday gesture of washing hands, applying oil, or lighting a candle, which becomes a chance to pause and return to oneself.

Made in the UK with natural, vegan, and cruelty-free formulations, Verden’s range is as considered in substance as it is in style. Packaging reflects Scandinavian restraint—glass vessels, earthy palettes, and minimal typography — while a sustainable core ensures every detail is honed for Planet.

Products

From body washes, balms, and oils to candles, diffusers, and sleep mists, Verden crafts tools for both body and home rituals. Gift sets curate these into complete lifestyle experiences. At the same time, the addition of a free breathwork app ties fragrance to mindful practice, making Verden more than a product, but a ritual itself.

- Sophisticated scent profiles shaped by nature.

- Eco-conscious packaging using recycled and recyclable materials.

- A holistic philosophy linking emotional states, calm, joy, and grounding to everyday self-care.

why verden

At the heart of Verden is the belief that scent is elemental: a prompt that can instantly bring us into the present, awaken memories, and restore balance.

What sets it apart? An emotional focus in a category often dominated by functional claims, a genuine commitment to sustainability through membership in 1% Planete Planet, and a distinct design language shaped by Scandinavian minimalism. Verden isn’t just beauty; it’s a lifestyle practice that unites fragrance, mindfulness, and nature.

Brand Highlights

From its debut, Verden has drawn attention for creating a new genre: “ritual fragrance.” Editorials in British Vogue and Wallpaper* praised its ethos and design, while beauty insiders recognized its ability to sit comfortably in both apothecaries and concept stores.

Consumers, too, are shaping the story. Reviews describe Verden’s scents as transportive, evoking nostalgia, serenity, and joy. Its commitment to sustainability, woven into packaging and storytelling, resonates deeply with today’s design-conscious, eco-aware customer.
