DO YOU USE AI?
No, I do not. If things look sloppy, it's because everything is done by ME and only ME. Half of the time hen I'm on the verge of falling asleep. I would rather have my things (Like this website) look sloppy and maybe a tad unprofessional than have a computer do all the work for me.
DO YOU USE ANY PRE-BLENDED FRAGRANCE OILS?
Nope! I use a mixture of synthetics & naturals! Aroma chemicals are synthetic fragrance molecules that are made to replicate notes. For example, strawberry doesn't really have a scent, at least not what we associate with strawberry and we cant extract a scent from it naturally. So how do we get a strawberry scent? By using aroma chemicals like Methyl Anthrilate & ethyl maltol (among more materials!)
As for naturals, I'll use steam distilled essential oils, diluted absolutes, tinctures & co2 extracts! Jasmine absolute is a natural material and so is spearmint essential oil! I always use naturals (the same as synthetics) from reputable suppliers. Some of the tinctures I use are my own personal tinctures!
WHY ARE SOME OF YOUR PERFUMES STRANGE/HAVE WEIRD NOTES?
Art reflects it's artist!
I love perfume as an olfactory art but scent has always been so much more than just smelling good to me! Since I was a child I remember being so enamored with scent, of everything and anything. Not just things that we all think smell good. Sometimes I'll get a whiff of something and it evokes a memory I'd long forgotten. Or other times it's a good way to tell a story, like reading a book but instead your smelling your way through it.
I don't factor in wearability into my fragrances and understand fragrance is as subjective as taste. I only wish everyone would see it for more than just something you wear to smell good or potentially get compliments on, fragrance is embedded in everything!
WHAT IF I BUY ONE OF YOUR PERFUMES AND DON'T LIKE IT? CAN I RETURN IT?
I totally understand that you may not like all, or any, of my fragrances as some of them can be very polarizing! However, there is always a risk when blind-buying and that is why I offer samples and advise to sample when ordering! I cannot accept returns as it is unsanitary and I am a pretty big germaphobe, especially when it comes to my work area.
