The story behind Hands Up started when I was invited to the boutique in Burlington MA, to experience Wild Vetiver for the first time.

The scent was fantastic, clean, green, rosy, slightly sweet, and extremely refined. It felt modern, fresh, and elegant at the same time. But when I saw the retail price, around $510, it honestly didn’t make sense to me for a fresh everyday-style fragrance.

That same day, I went back and worked with our team at HK Perfumes to create our own interpretation inspired by that experience, keeping the clean green freshness, soft florals, and smooth vetiver character that made the scent special to me.

The result became Hands Up.

A modern fresh fragrance inspired by the elegance of Wild Vetiver, designed to feel luxurious, long-lasting, and accessible.

Hands Up by HK Perfumes will be released for $51 as part of our upcoming limited drop.
