Personalized Fragrance Consultation and Formulation
This New York City based service is an opportunity to develop a unique signature scent. Finalized formulations may be produced as an Eau de Parfum, Candle or Diffuser.
Our consultation begins with an intake questionnaire so I can get a sense of what ready to wear fragrances you already enjoy, and which fragrance notes you know you like and dislike. I will provide you with an excel sheet of my fragrance inventory (over 200 unique materials - raw botanical oils and absolutes, and synthetic molecules) so that you can note down any materials you are not familiar with and those you are interested in smelling and learning more about.
Our in-person session lasts up to 2 hours and will take place at my home studio in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. We will take the first hour to actively smell materials to gauge your preferences. Then we will work together to select 2-3 top notes, 2-3 middle notes and 2-3 base notes. From there we will trial how the notes play in relationship to one another when combined - removing some, adding in new ones, and tinkering with ratios. When we have a formula that you are pleased with, I will then prepare a 5mL trial size for you to take home to test how it wears and makes you feel.
If you are satisfied with your fragrance formula, you will then choose from a variety of vessels and quantities, and I will scale up your scent! Prices of the final product are in addition to the consultation and will vary depending on the ingredients, vessel and quantity.
