Wild Veil ☆ Whole plant perfume grown in Vermont ☆ Handmade aromatic extracts, absolutes, tinctures.
Sensory designer Abby Hinsman creates alchemy between earth and ether. Enchantments from the natural world: botanical perfumes, gemstone jewelry, hand-knotted malas, and outré creations with repurposed fur, precious stones and metals. Handmade with precious flora, oils, gems, minerals, pelts, and crystals. ENCHANTMENT FOR THE NOSE:
Natural perfumery composes alchemical fragrances from purely natural sources. Composed of organic, ethically harvested, and wildcrafted essential oils, absolutes, flora, butters, and waxes. Products are handmade to order to ensure vitality and potency. I personally create by hand each natural perfume and synergistic blend using high quality botanical ingredients. This means that while every item is unique, there may be slight variations within a perfume depending on the season and the source of the raw materials. Intimate and subtle, natural perfumes wear close to the body. They radiate their fragrance for a few hours before softening completely into the skin. You will probably notice that these artisanal perfumes smell quite different in the bottle or jar than on your body. As your skin warms the wax or oil emulsion, the plant essences mingle with your particular biochemistry, activating a unique scent [*green alchemy*]. For me, part of the pleasure lies in reapplication, periodically renewing your sensual bond with organic matter. Botanical oils contain wonderful therapeutic benefits, and so you may find a blend rejuvenates not only your senses, but mind and body. My perfumes are handcrafted from essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts, and other botanical compounds, wild harvested or organic when possible. They do not contain preservatives, alcohol, fragrance oils, artificial colors or flavorings, SLS, or parabens of any kind. ENCHANTMENT FOR THE BODY:
Cultivating physical and metaphysical enchantments of the natural world, my mineral jewelry line includes hand-knotted malas, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and pendants. Whether composed of crystals, stones, or metals, each of my pieces is handmade and unique, an alchemical celebration of the beauty and powerful healing jewels found on earth. ENCHANTMENT FOR THE EYE:
Ink +colored pencil drawings for Wild Veil are done by me. I take the photographs featured in my home garden, with organic plants, vibrant fabrics from Zambia, and vintage textiles. Composite images with archaic super-impositions are created with public domain material. Prints available for purchase here: http://society6.com/WildVeil

THE LIVING FLOWER
For a limited time, 20% off enfleurage at Wild Veil.
Enfleurage begins with fresh flowers and fat.
Blossoms are laid into the medium by hand. Their aromatic material migrates slowly into it. The spent flowers are removed and replaced with fresh ones, charging the fat again and again.
What remains can contain something startlingly close to the dimensionality of the flower itself—
petal moisture
pollen
nectar
green tissue
cream
wax
indole
skin
Not an abstraction of a flower.
A record of contact with it.

My daily perfume notes from the extraction studio are up on substack.
09/22/2026
Some of you have been asking me when I’m going to publish my books.
I’ve decided to begin with something that can remain alive.
I’ve opened a paid writing archive from inside my aromatic practice: fermentation, enfleurage, extraction, aging, cultivation, rare materials, and the sensory discoveries that happen while I work with them.
Part field notebook. Part sensory archive. Part book being written in real time.
The first essay follows a cherimoya through spontaneous fermentation, fortification, filtration, and aging.
The fresh fruit began as an unstable constellation of pear, pineapple, green banana, flowers, green skin, and custard.
Then microorganisms entered the composition.
Eventually I encountered pear w**e, magnolia, cultured cream, pollen, wet limestone, green banana skin, pineapple core, and translucent tropical w**e.
The material had become radiant rather than heavier.
A custard behaving like a top note.
And it left me with a question:
What if fermentation doesn’t reveal aromas that were hidden inside a fruit?
What if transformation creates them?
A Custard That Behaves Like a Top Note is now in the archive.
Paid subscribers have access to the complete essay and the writing that follows.
$8/month.

GOLD + SMOKE
Light through resin. Incense in the air.
Labdanum. Benzoin. Frankincense. Myrrh. Balsams and oud. Golden resins and smoke-darkened woods.
Materials suspended between radiance and shadow—sap and smoke, sweetness and char, glowing amber and the memory of fire.
I’ve gathered over 200 ambered, incense-rich and resinous perfumes into Gold + Smoke.

PEACH IRIS — SEPTEMBER 2026
White Lady + Belle of Georgia peach.
Vermont-grown orris root.
Osmanthus. Anatolian rose.
Peach Iris returns in a new edition.
This one began above and below ground.
White-fleshed peaches: velvet skin, wet flesh, nectar and stone.
And the rhizomes of my own Iris pallida and Iris germanica, dug from the Vermont earth—the hidden body of iris from which orris perfume emerges.
Between them: osmanthus with its strange echo of apricot, peach skin, tea and suede. Anatolian rose. Jasmine sambac. Tuberose. Lilac. Stephanotis.
At first, the peach is succulent.
Then the orris rises through it.
Juice becomes cream.
Flesh becomes powder.
Flower returns to root.
Peach Iris
September 2026
Available now at Wild Veil.
