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 Fleur fragrance blend, the shampoo leaves a soft, romantic aroma of delicate florals and gentle woods — intentionally subtle and designed to complement our hound-to-home scent layering system.
Fragrance Notes
Base Notes: Creamy Vanilla Resin, Himalayan Cedarwood
Heart Notes: Dewy Damask Rose
Top Notes: Sparkling Italian Bergamot
Fleur is a soft floral fragrance inspired by golden mornings, blooming gardens, and the quiet romance of new beginnings.
Sparkling bergamot opens the scent before giving way to lush Damask rose — dewy, elegant, and timeless — grounded by warm cedarwood and softened with creamy vanilla for a smooth, lingering finish.
Crafted to sit close to the coat — gentle, radiant, and never overpowering.
Perfumer's Notes
"When I created Fleur, I wanted to capture a feeling — something romantic, intimate, and softly radiant.
I kept returning to the image of a rose garden at dawn, bathed in golden light as the first warmth of the sun begins to draw out the scent of the blooms.
At the heart of Fleur is Damask rose — opulent, dewy, and timeless — lifted by sparkling bergamot and grounded by warm Himalayan cedarwood.
Vanilla oleoresin weaves through it all like a soft whisper, lending creamy sweetness and a sensual, lingering warmth.
Fleur is a love letter to softness — an expression of elegance, emotion, and quiet romance.
Not just about smelling beautiful, but about feeling beautiful."
— Luana, Perfumer & Co-founder

Natural Botanicals — Fragrance Notes
Vanilla Fruit Resin
[Botanical Name: Vanilla Planifolia]
Soft, creamy and gently sweet, vanilla is cherished for its comforting and familiar aroma. Its smooth warmth may help soften and round the fragrance, creating a sense of gentle balance.
Bergamot Peel Oil
[Botanical Name: Citrus Aurantium Bergamia]
Bright, citrus-fresh and lightly aromatic, bergamot is valued for its clean, sparkling character. Its gentle citrus notes may help lift and refresh the scent without overpowering.
Damask Rose Oil
[Botanical Name: Rosa damascene]
Elegant and softly floral, Damask rose is traditionally appreciated for its refined, comforting aroma. Its delicate character may help bring softness and gentle harmony to the fragrance.

Rich, warm and gently woody, Himalayan cedarwood is traditionally appreciated for its grounding aroma. Its softly sweet depth may help create a sense of balance and calm, bringing a quiet, comforting freshness.
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.
