HOC x MATEO

The Gemmes Collection

Some collaborations are sparked by shared vision — others, by enduring friendship. The HOC x Mateo collection is born of both.

When Masha Zanier, founder of HOC, and Matthew Harris of Mateo New York came together, it was a meeting of kindred spirits — two creative minds united by a deep appreciation for elegance, form, and narrative. The result is The Gemmes Collection — an exclusive series of three fragrances inspired by the timeless beauty of gemstones: Turquoise, Mother of Pearl, and Malachite.

Each scent is a story in itself, capturing the soul of the stone it represents. Turquoise evokes warmth and sunlit joy, Mother of Pearl embodies soft sensuality and grace, while Malachite channels depth and mystery. These are not just fragrances — they are bottled emotions, wearable jewels shaped by nature’s poetry.

At the core of this collection is Mateo’s signature aesthetic: minimalist, architectural, and effortlessly refined. Since founding Mateo New York in 2009, Matthew Harris has redefined modern luxury — from his beginnings in men’s jewelry to being featured at the Smithsonian and honored by the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

With The Gemmes Collection, his creative language takes on a new form — expressed not through gold or stone, but through scent. Developed in close collaboration with senior perfumers Marie Hugentobler, Hélène Vonesch, and Sebastien Lacouture from Firmenich, the compositions are modern and elegant, composed with the finest sustainable ingredients of the highest quality.

The Gemmes Collection is a celebration of artistry, and the seamless fusion of scent and design.

The Jewelry Box designed to be kept.

Sculptural and refined, our jewelry box is crafted as a keepsake in itself — a luxurious case for your most treasured pieces. Lined with soft-touch materials, it opens to reveal a removable travel pouch and bespoke holders, designed to cradle your jewelry or/and perfume with care. Whether displayed on a vanity or carried on your travels, it embodies the elegance and thoughtful design at the heart of HOC.

This is a truly exclusive collaboration — and like every HOC creation. The drop is strictly limited.
