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 signature Voyager fragrance blend, the shampoo leaves a clean, coastal aroma of sea salt, citrus, and aromatic woods — intentionally subtle and designed to complement our hound-to-home scent layering system.
Fragrance Notes
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Lemongrass, Frankincense
Heart Notes: Freesia, Cardamom, Sweet Orange
Top Notes: Lemon, Lime, Black Pepper
Voyager is a fresh marine-aromatic fragrance inspired by the joy of coastal escapes and the quiet bond shared between you and your dog.
Bright citrus and salty air open the scent before soft florals and gentle spice settle into clean woods and smooth musk — refreshing, calming, and never overpowering.
Crafted to sit close to the coat — crisp, airy, and effortlessly wearable.
Perfumer's Notes
"When creating Voyager, I wanted to capture that first moment you step onto the sand — the crisp rush of salty air, the sun on your skin, and your dog racing ahead toward the tide.
Driftwood drying in the warmth. Paw prints pressed into wet sand. Waves rolling in and out like a lullaby.
Voyager is an ocean escape — a memory of sun-soaked friendship, open horizons, and the unbreakable bond between you and your dog."
— 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.
