A little bit of rearranging at the office. Saying goodbye to all my 10% dilutions for now.

Wow, this brings back memories! Despite the humble setup and am@zon fragrance oils this little bench started it all for us. Yes that is a mini fridge with a wooden panel on top that I used as my bench. As a potential customer or potential partner, if you want grit and dirt and the real soul of art and what can be squeezed from poverty and suffering, take a good hard look at that bench. That’s what you get with Maison Lapin. Not just a fragrance, hours of pain and suffering and true life. You can’t fabricate this. That bench is proof of the living soul of independent perfumery and fragrance creation.
On a lighter note, that bench is ghetto as hell and I flippin love it. I wish I still had it because it was the perfect height for me to stand and not get a back ache. Yes, I am one of the weird people that prefer to stand and work instead of sitting. To each their own .
Live long and prosper,

✨ Ever wonder why perfume is so expensive? Here’s why… ✨
When you look at the price tag of a small-batch, independent fragrance, it can be a bit of a shock! 💸 But behind that bottle is an incredibly complex global story. 🌍
As an independent business, we refuse to compromise on quality. Here is the reality of what goes into every single drop:
🌱 Extreme Geographic Monopolies
Many of the world's most beautiful scent notes can only grow in very specific places. True Vetiver comes from Haiti. True Vanilla comes from Madagascar. If anything goes wrong in those regions, the global supply vanishes overnight.
⚖️ Geopolitical & Climate ChaosFrom political instability and port closures to tropical cyclones wiping out fields, natural ingredients are constantly at the mercy of global crises. When ingredients get trapped behind borders or ruined by weather, the cost of what remains skyrockets.
🧑🌾 Insane Labor IntensityNatural ingredients cannot be machine-harvested. Did you know vanilla orchids must be hand-pollinated with a toothpick during a tiny window of just a few hours? Or that it takes thousands of pounds of manually dug roots just to make a single gallon of vetiver oil?
🛍️ The Independent Brand RealityMassive corporate giants buy ingredients by the ton years in advance to get huge discounts. As a small business, we buy in small, intentional batches. We pay premium prices to secure the absolute highest-grade, ethically sourced natural oils left on the market.
The Bottom Line:
When you buy from us, you aren't just buying scented liquid. You are buying a piece of art that weathered a global supply chain storm just to reach your skin. You are supporting ethical farming, fair wages, and true craftsmanship. 🎨❤️
Thank you for supporting independent perfumery and choosing quality over mass production! 🧪✨
First attempt at making a rose tincture. This is the first batch of rose petals that were in ethanol for 72 hours. I’m now vacuum filtering the infused ethanol.
