Fragrance is often marketed with a particular person in mind - evoking a certain lifestyle, aesthetic, and gender.

But when did scent become more about an idealized identity rather than a conceptual mood or feeling?

Fragrance should capture a moment in time. The little glimmers of happiness and stories we reminisce about for years to come. Not only remembering the experience, but feeling it deep in our soul.

One of my favorite things to do is help people find a fragrance they'll enjoy. My first question is always, "What kind of scents do you like?" If they're unsure, I ask a few more questions to determine their scent personality - whether it's bold, exotic, subtle, fresh, or earthy.

And despite how fragrance is traditionally marketed, a lot of women prefer resinous scents, with amber being one of the top requests I receive.

These three perfumes may lean traditionally masculine, but are made for those who appreciate fresh woods and slightly musky undertones.

August is officially here and it feels like summer is fading! I'm soaking in all the floral smells and making plans for beach days before the fall wind arrives.

Summer nights are made for enjoying the slower moments of the season and the campfire "light" aesthetic ✨ My newest candle scent is inspired by lighthouse BnBs, summer travels, and driftwood laden shores.

Gone Coastal is a fresh blend of summer berries, white florals, cedarwood, and honeydew. Hand poured in a vintage ribbed glass vessel with a cracking natural wooden wick.

Limited batch release

The top 3 best selling summer scents so far are none other than:

Sugared Lemons | Vanilla + Sugar + Lemon + Amber
Gig Harbor | Lavender + Lemon + Honey + Amber
Coco Cabana | Vanilla + Sugar + Coconut + Amber

Honorable mention:

Charred Honey + Vanilla | Santal + Tonka Bean + Coconut Milk + Amber

I'm seeing a bit of a trend and considering using Sugared Lemons and Gig Harbor as inspiration to create 2 new perfumes... 🤗 what do you think?!

New inspiration is brewing...

After almost a year in the making, a more sophisticated cherry perfume is now available for pre-order

Inspired by my teenage favorite, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and that subtle, dainty smell of fresh, sweet cherries

Your feed needed a pretty picture ✨🤗

Fresh and fruity with subtle notes of jasmine, apricot, and bergamot. A touch of cozy cashmere sweater vibes dawning a summer's night sunset. Pure tropical bliss.

📸 Southern Belle 15 ml parfum spray

NOW AVAILABLE 🍒 CHERRY HAZE

The most intricate and beautifully green blend I’ve ever curated is officially available for pre-order.

Made from 15 different 100% naturally derived ingredients, Cherry Haze is the first iteration of my fully botanical perfume line.

Inspired by my teenage cult favorite, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and elevated to the sophisticated level we all deserve.

Layers of sparkling citrus and dew drenched greenery delight your senses as the sweet delicate scent of cherry instantly envelopes your skin. Grounded with variants of vetiver, sandalwood, and benzoin.

Currently macerating as a spray perfume and expected to ship the week of July 13. The oil version may be released later in the year.

Highland Rose captures the scent of sun-warmed rose bushes, fresh-cut greens, and the simple joy of childhood exploration.

Sparkling yuzu blends with sweet rose and geranium to evoke the impression of a freshly bloomed rose garden.

Clary sage, fir needle, cedarwood, and frankincense add earthy and gentle depth, creating a scent that feels natural and grounded.
