Introduction to some of my own perfumes

I started to create perfumes when I was just a child, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I started studying the history and methods of perfume making.  As I studied, my passion for perfume grew and I began to use the components of perfumery (both natural and aroma molecules) to create “scent stories”.  Some of my scents are designed to simply evoke a mood or memory of a person, place or time.  Others are blended to using the principles of aromatherapy to shift and adjust mood, emotion and physical issues.

The Shore Series: designed to evoke memories of the beach….
Growing up on the beach made a lasting impact on essential "me" - so it is only fitting that one of the first series of scents I created was based on the beach.  All of these fragrances may be used as a perfume or blended into soap, lotions, massage oils or bath products.
After the Sun Sets
The sun setting through vivid shades of orange, pink and blue until it sinks calmly behind the dark of the ocean.   A scent designed to whisk you away to that magical moment of time when the sun winks out for the night.   The scent of  juicy Florida oranges, coconut milk and creamy vanilla are blended with a touch of sandalwood and musk for an after dark sexiness.      
Beach House
Memories of relaxing in a hammock listening to the waves crash on the shore while the kids jump off the porch steps.  The scent of star jasmine on an ocean breeze mixed with sand dunes and the warmed wood of the porch floorboards.  
Ocean Waves
A perfect day at the beach.  Vivid blue waves crashing on  pure white sand.  A salty sea breeze gently blowing across skin.  Ocean Waves is a fresh ozone scent with sublte hints of sun-beached driftwood, hot sand and salty sea algae. 
Sur la Falaise
A solitary walk along the rocky cliffs of Northern France.  Romantic and haunting.  A heart of aromatic cistus, lavender, thyme, juniper and rosemary are blended with hints of marine algae and sea salt.
