The Aromatic Palette Behind my Blends & Perfumes

A journey from seed to soulful scent, my oils embrace your essence and elevate your well-being.

Our connection to spirit begins with our connection to the Earth.

Modern life has been permeated with synthetic fragrances designed to mimic the beauty of the natural world but they lack the vitality to attune and nurture our well-being. When using scent to align with our emotions and energy, the materials must be sourced directly from the aromatic plants themselves.

Sourcing carefully and handling with reverence from seed to bottle, my palette consists of pure, ethical and high vibration oils.

Each essence is sourced directly from trusted small businesses and artisan distillers. Some even come from my own aromatic garden. 

The palette consists of essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extractions, concretes, tinctures, infusions, and isolates from natural sources.

Essences, also called notes, come from organic material (flowers, leaves, seeds, wood, fruit, resins, and even the roots) and occasionally animal ingredients, such as beeswax, honey absolute, and beach harvested ambergris tincture. 

This palette has been developed over a decade of dedication and passion for natural aromatics. Now, they are yours to explore and benefit from with a customized fragrance.
