Description
At Bug & Bun, hound care is approached with the same care, intention, and restraint found in fine fragrance and premium haircare.
Our Deodorising Hound Shampoo is a gentle, cosmetic-grade formula designed to properly cleanse the coat — removing dirt, odour, and build-up at the source while maintaining hydration, balance, and coat integrity.
Thoughtfully formulated for regular use, it cleans without stripping and is suitable for all hounds, including sensitive souls.
Because the coat is left soft, nourished, and balanced, there’s no need for a separate conditioner.
Lightly scented with our botanical Tranquille fragrance blend, the shampoo leaves a soft, calming aroma inspired by fresh linen, gentle florals, and quiet stillness — intentionally subtle and designed to complement our hound-to-home scent layering system.
Natural Botanicals
Base Notes: Himalayan Cedarwood, Frankincense
Heart Notes: Delicate French Lavender
Top Notes: Sparkling Italian Bergamot
Tranquille is a soft, herbaceous fragrance inspired by quiet mornings, clean air, and the feeling of deep calm.
Fresh bergamot opens the scent before unfolding into gentle florals and aromatic herbs — lavender, rose geranium, and clary sage — grounded by warm cedarwood and resinous frankincense for a smooth, comforting finish.
Crafted to sit close to the coat — subtle, soothing, and never overpowering.
Perfumer's Notes
"When I created Tranquille, I was searching for the scent of stillness — the kind that doesn’t announce itself, but gently restores.
It’s the feeling of waking early before the world stirs, when the light is soft, the air is clean, and time feels suspended.
For me, that moment lives somewhere between freshly laundered linen and open windows on a cool morning — calm, quiet, and completely unhurried.
Gentle herbs and soft florals unfold over warm woods and resin, settling into a scent that comforts without distraction.
Tranquille is a breath of peace in a restless world — a scent for moments when you want less noise, more presence, and a calm that lingers long after the moment has passed."
— Luana, Perfumer & Co-founder

The Hound Fragrance Ritual
A three-step approach to clean, scent-layered hound care.
Step 1
Wash & Deodorise
Hound Shampoo does more than clean. It gently removes dirt, odour, and environmental build-up that can trap unwanted smells — without stripping the coat of moisture.
A truly clean coat is the foundation for both coat health and scent longevity.
Step 2
Dry & Prep
Fragrance performs best on a dry, balanced coat.
Drying fully helps prevent dilution, ensures even scent distribution, and allows fragrance to sit closer to the hair — not the moisture.
This step is what transforms a wash into a proper scent base.
Step 3
Layer with Hound Fragrance
Finish by layering your matching Hound Fragrance.
Lightly spritz and comb through, or brush through with a slicker brush to distribute scent evenly from root to tip.
This final step enhances longevity, adds shine, and creates a soft, refined scent that lingers — never overpowering.
At Bug & Bun, hound care is approached with the same care, intention and restraint found in fine fragrance and premium haircare. Our Deodorising Hound Shampoo is formulated using gentle, cosmetic-grade ingredients selected for safety, performance and coat comfort — delivering an effective clean without compromise.
