Take On Perfumery

Unscripted Perfumery

I view perfumery as a dynamic art form—one rooted in intentional improvisation. Fragrances evolve as individual notes interact, accords emerge, and elements blend into a cohesive whole. I believe true artistry flourishes when it’s free from rigid formulas, constraints, or imposed expectations—when it’s created unscripted.

I began crafting perfumes to evoke the scents I yearned for but couldn’t find. To me, fragrance is like a puzzle—both a mental and olfactory challenge, a balance of structure and adaptability. Sometimes I draw inspiration from systems theory, where modularity and flexibility guide my approach. Each scent becomes an evolving base, capable of multiple interpretations. Other times, it's simply about experimentation, exploring new possibilities in the pursuit of a goal. It’s a challenge I eagerly take on, each and every time.

Intention vs Recipes & Formulas

While recipes and formulas serve their purpose in replicating an idea, they can never fully capture the soul of an artisanal creation. Documentation alone cannot convey the nuance, intention, and flow of the creative process.

Intentionality in my work is not about following a recipe or formula, but about making deliberate, thoughtful choices as the fragrance takes shape. My approach prioritizes cultivating intuition—an essential skill in this craft.

This is not just an artistic choice—it also serves practical purposes:

• Every batch is inherently unique—its limited nature defines its artisanal value.
• It fosters a continuous exploration, encouraging adaptation to diverse preferences and evolving trends.
• It sustains a thriving secondary market, where scarcity and individuality make secondhand ownership just as meaningful as the original purchase.

Personalization: Making the Scent Your Own

Imagine dining at your favorite restaurant and being told you can’t have salt and pepper—frustrating, right? I believe fragrance should be just as customizable. Whether you want to enhance a blend with complementary oils, experiment with oils I provide, or incorporate your own materials, I’m happy to assist. I charge only for the oils, shipping, and a minimal fee for my time—even if it’s just a 15ml bottle. What matters is that you receive a perfume that truly reflects your preferences. Think of it like a bespoke tailor—adjusting every detail to fit you perfectly. Go here to read more about making your own bespoke blend!

Scent perception is deeply personal, and my descriptions of fragrance notes may not always align with how you experience them. This is why I prioritize transparency. Whenever possible, I offer samples—though availability is limited due to the small-batch nature of my work. I also provide samples to trusted reviewers, allowing them to share their independent impressions without interference. Trust is earned and fragile, so I never interfere with their honest assessments.

The Proof is in the Perfume

A fragrance should speak for itself. My batches, crafted in 250ml increments, are the result of meticulous care. Each blend is balanced with precision, sometimes aged for months to ensure the desired performance—whether it’s longevity, silage, or both—tailored to their format (attar, perfume, or paste).

I’m grateful that my work has resonated with members of the perfume community, and I deeply appreciate the kind words from those who value the craft. But ultimately, the true measure of success lies in the experience—the way each scent unfolds on the skin, telling its own unique story.

Lastly, I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported my journey and given my passion a chance!
