Oh to get lost in a cloud of flowers.

Sometimes the world is so big and beautiful and wild and all around, it’s hard to see a way forward.

Creating scent is a little escape, a way to transport the senses to another place, another time. It is time travel in bottles, tiny capsules that can propel you into daydreams, where things are not as they seem and there are no rules…

It’s raining and I’m working with a sweet wild strawberry extract. The damp of the day is mixing with the summer essence, and the fragrance blooming at my fingertips is a velvet berry, a succulent laugh, wet bare shoulders warm after dashing through a downpour, then sheltering in the arms of an evergreen wearing a coat of mossy lemon. It’s too early to tell if it’s a long lasting connection, but at least for now they make an alluring combination.
