Description

$90 per session | 60 minutes | By Appointment

Work one-on-one with our experienced scent designers to explore the art of personal fragrance design. In this focused consultation, we'll dive deep into our collection of fragrance notes, help you understand what draws you to certain scents and why, and guide you through the process of designing a custom fragrance that feels authentically you.

This is dedicated time with a fragrance expert focused entirely on your scent story. We'll explore your preferences, introduce you to our scent library, and help you navigate the process of translating your personal style, memories, and intentions into olfactory form.

What's Included:

• 60-minute private consultation with experienced scent designer
• Deep dive into our collection of premium fragrance notes
• Exploration of how different notes work together and interact with your preferences
• Personalized guidance on custom blending approach
• Discussion of scent as identity, memory, and self-expression
• Consultation notes summarizing your preferences and potential directions
• Custom product creation available as separate service (fees apply)

What to Expect:

We'll start by discussing your relationship with fragrance - what you're drawn to, what you avoid, and what you're hoping to create. Then, we'll explore our scent library together, helping you identify notes that resonate and understand why certain combinations speak to you. Throughout the consultation, you'll learn how to think about fragrance design and develop a clearer vision for your custom scent.

This consultation is about discovery and direction. You won't create a physical product during this session, but you'll leave with clarity about your fragrance preferences and a roadmap for creating a custom scent that's entirely yours. If you choose to move forward with creating a custom fragrance (roller ball or spray), we'll schedule a separate session for that process.

Scent & Identity:

We approach fragrance as more than just "what smells nice." Scent connects to memory, emotion, and how we want to move through the world. During your consultation, we'll explore how fragrance can reflect who you are, mark transitions you're experiencing, or hold intention for who you're becoming. This isn't therapy - it's creative guidance rooted in the understanding that the scents we choose matter.
