scent

small-batch wearable scents intended to subvert and empower

gorgeous creature [signature scent]

this scent is about approaching life with passion and intensity! subverting expectations and challenging norms. it considers desire and a bit of mischief. i was imagining being outside at night in a landscape lit by a full moon in a lush field near the edge of a dark forest.

there is a ‘holy’ quality to this scent—something i wanted to play with—taking notes that are typically experienced in a religious context and instead placing the things that are sacred to me—love, the natural world, feeling alive—alongside them.

Base notes | Smokey, resinous, warm

This glass heart vessel is a concept bottle I designed and cast using lost-wax method to evoke qualities of the signature scent—passion, intensity, love and desire.

The stopper when seen through the heart evokes a small dagger going through the middle—I was thinking about courage and vulnerability. How our greatest challenges can be the source of our greatest strength. the human capacity to perservere.

curiosity + play

I love working with scent because it’s extremely playful and a bit mischievous. it fuels my curiosity about so many things while being simultaneously grounding. the more i work with it, the more i understand how powerful it is as tool to activate our senses, our memories and our erotic imaginations.

the scents i make and wear eliminate the gender binary. an important aspect of my own identity is challenging what is typically considered masculine and feminine, and instead focusing on energy.

i have always had a sensitivity to smell, especially from a very young age. often it would overwhelm me and i would not know what to do with my resulting emotions. as i’ve gotten older I realize my relationship to scent is connected to my intuition.
