BEHIND THE HOUSE
Keskiyön Hovi
Keskiyön Hovi is an independent perfume house where art meets a delightfully unruly imagination. Founder Natasha Washabaugh, a reader first and perfumer second, draws on more than twenty years of fragrance and bath-body experience to turn literature, folklore, and favorite memories into original perfumes.
Each fragrance is formulated and handcrafted in small, intentional batches using naturals, CO₂ extracts, essential oils, and modern aroma materials. From haunted forests to moonlit bakeries, these little works of art for your skin invite you into another world.
We celebrate every part of you: the dark, the light, and the little contradictions that make you beautifully, unmistakably yourself. Tender, strange, sweet, or a little wicked. There’s room for every version of you here.
