I began making essential oil and natural botanical perfumes in 2004, but to be fair, it started before this in 2001, as a means for custom formulating "one of a kind scents" for my handcrafted soap line. I quickly found that repeating the same "stock selection" was holding me back from what I truly loved: the challenge of the organic process, creating botanical perfumes and custom blends in natural oils that make people feel beautiful and inspired.

To be experienced properly, natural oil perfumes truly need to be tried on the skin and not smelled from a bottle as you would a commercial alcohol-based perfume.

Once worn, and warmed by your own body temperature, the aroma begins to blossom, evolving over time, finally revealing a signature unique scent to each wearer based on their own personal body chemistry.
