Tuckson is named after my father, Tuck.

I came to perfumery after becoming a scientist in chemical engineering. I am introverted by nature, and perfumery gave me a new syntax to express myself and my viewpoint. I founded Tuckson in 2017, and it took me almost nine years before I opened the shop in 2025. I decided very early on to grow the company slowly and steadily, and found it liberating to formulate, pour and bottle every perfume myself.

Born in Singapore and settled in the UK, I try to build each perfume with an unfamiliar structure and pair concepts that do not usually sit together, a hybrid of two cultures or two ways of seeing the same thing. I find perfumes with a duality in them particularly interesting.

I also create and design other things I wanted to use: cashmere, scented stationery, leather goods. Everything is made in the UK, by me or by other makers I work with.

I spend the first half of my week in my Greenwich atelier for research and production. The shop is off the main road at 75 Westbourne Park Road in Notting Hill, open Thursday to Saturday, eleven to six. It is furnished the way my workroom is, because to me it is the same place.

I have eighteen perfumes across three collections to date: Field Notes, Mythos & Matter and Constructs. I would love for you to visit. Let me explain my work, and sample the perfumes in store.
