A Personal Approach to Perfume
Most perfumes are designed for mass appeal.
This one is designed for you.
Working with natural aromatic materials — woods, resins, flowers, roots, seeds and citrus — we create a fragrance that feels intimate and personal rather than overpowering.
The result is a scent that evolves gently on the skin and becomes part of your daily rhythm.
Many clients describe their finished perfume as something that feels both new and familiar, as though it had been waiting for them all along.
Who This Experience Is For
This process is especially meaningful for people who:
• have never found a perfume that truly feels like them
• are sensitive to synthetic fragrances
• prefer subtle, skin-close scent
• appreciate natural materials and craftsmanship
• see scent as part of a daily ritual or emotional landscape
Many clients come to this experience after years of believing they simply “couldn’t wear perfume.”
The Custom Perfume Process
Creating a personal blend is a collaborative and thoughtful process.
You’ll begin by exploring a curated palette of natural aromatic materials, noticing which scents resonate most with you. From there we meet for a one-on-one consultation to discuss your impressions and the atmosphere you want your perfume to evoke.
I then compose your first custom blend. After wearing it and experiencing how it evolves on your skin, we refine the composition together through two rounds of adjustments until the fragrance feels complete.
Each perfume is created slowly and intentionally so the final scent feels deeply personal and entirely your own.
Experience It In Person or From Home
This custom perfume experience is available in person at my workshop in the Sierra Nevada or remotely via Zoom.
For those who choose to visit in person, the process becomes a sensory retreat. My workshop is located just outside Yosemite National Park, surrounded by forest and mountain air — an environment that naturally invites deeper connection to scent and the natural world.
Many clients choose to stay at our nearby Airbnb and turn the experience into a quiet getaway, exploring Yosemite while creating their personal fragrance.
If travel isn’t possible, the entire process can also be completed remotely. I’ll guide you through the same exploration and consultation via Zoom, and your aromatic materials and custom blends will be shipped directly to you.
