WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONADE, YOU MAKE PERFUME!

We’ve taken Beyonce around the fragrance wheel! There is something for EVERYONE here.

Storytelling via fragrance AND celebrating Beyonce is a DREAM GIG!

On Sunday, August 2nd, ZIJ partnered with Doyle & SirDavis to debut a LEMONADE themed Fragrance Experience in celebration of the 10th anniversary and the launch of Sir Davis Whisky at the bar!

Fragrance Design Process:
For two weeks, I carved out time and sat with the album. Meaning, I played each song over and over to immerse myself in the lyrics and understand the “world” inside each song-one at a time. I had the lights off and candle going to really vibe with it.

If you’ve been here a while, you know I love storytelling with fragrance. That’s what it’s all about at ZIJ.

Swipe the images to see the fragrance elements and inspiration behind each blend.

I also created two blends based off of popular Sir Davis cocktails. You’ll love them too!

You can sample these fragrances in a limited online release in our 50 ml shottie bottles. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

I will have testers at Mix & Mingle Coffee Lounge today 2-3, and Mercedes Nicole Events & Designs tomorrow 12-2
(You can smell them and then order them online)

I am forever grateful Chrissy🌻 + Monniquer Peacock.
🍋🥃🍋🥃✨✨✨

✨ T O B A G O | B R E E Z E ✨🥭🌿

Some trips change your passport.

This one changed ME.

Last year I traveled to Trinidad & Tobago for In Movement There is Blessing Retreats, a wellness retreat hosted by Soraya Latiff | Liberatory Wellness | Travel | Love, and I came home…different.

I jumped into the Caribbean Sea.
I got a new tattoo.
I ate (mostly) vegetarian.
I slowed down.
I made new friends.
I bonded with Maurice, the lizard.
I slept in a luxurious tree house suite.
I did new things alone.
Most importantly, I reconnected with my body in a way I hadn’t in a long time.

I knew I had to bottle that feeling.

✨ Tobago Breeze is my love letter to Trinidad & Tobago—a celebration of its beauty, agriculture, and vibrant spirit.

🥭 Mango
🌿 Nag Champa
🍋 Lemongrass

The result is a warm, tropical fragrance that grounds you while naturally helping repel mosquitoes with lemongrass. That’s the heart of Zen In A Jar: functional fragrance that makes everyday moments feel extraordinary.

I’m releasing just 30 limited-edition 12 oz wine bottles of this bath & body honey.

They’re beautiful on a vanity, in a powder room, styled throughout your home, or brought as a hostess gift.

Because while everyone else shows up with wine…

…you’ll show up with a story.

A fragrance inspired by healing.
A botanical repellent that actually smells beautiful.
A gift chosen with intention.

That’s thoughtful luxury.

✨ $70 each
✨ Case pricing available (12 bottles)

If you’ve been considering a wellness retreat, I can’t recommend Soraya Latiff | Liberatory Wellness | Travel | Love enough. Some experiences don’t simply help you rest—they remind you who you are.

This fragrance is my reminder. I hope it becomes part of yours. 🧡✨

I spent my Fourth of July weekend CREATING!

Introducing “THE BOMBSHELL”

Some people enter the villa.

The Bombshell enters and suddenly everybody forgets what they were doing. 🌴✨

Inspired by Love Island, this tropical perfume oil opens with juicy pineapple, creamy coconut, and sun-kissed mango before revealing soft plumeria and settling into the rich warmth of oud.

She’s flirty.
She’s unforgettable.
She smells like the plot twist.

✨ Notes:
🥭 Mango
🍍 Pineapple
🥥 Coconut
🤍 Plumeria
🖤 Oud

Only 50 bottles were poured for this limited release. Once they’re gone…that’s it.

Functional fragrance is my jam. 🌿✨

Nature gives us everything we need. I’ve always believed fragrance should do something.

Set the mood.
Support your rituals.
Help you sleep.
Lift your energy.
Or… keep the mosquitoes from ruining the cookout.

Our Botanical Repellent Collection is infused with fragrant botanicals like lemongrass, so you can smell amazing while helping keep bugs away—without smelling like traditional insect repellent.

Because wellness can be beautiful.
And fragrance can be functional.

If you’re going to be outside this season… you deserve to smell like Zen In A Jar.

WE OUTSIDE & DEET FREE!
