About Us
Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and thank you for visiting my website!
My full time profession is creating custom mosaics for commercial and residential clients. You can see some of that work at https://modernmosaicarts.com/
I've been collecting perfume for about 20 years, and during the Covid lockdown I started to experiment with fragrances notes. Taking online classes, and training my nose to discover what notes I liked and didn't, which notes worked better as bases, which notes seemed to compliment each other, what a binder was, and how to chemically produce something that would last and get better over time. I began to make sketches and journals about fragrances I'd like to create. By the end of the lockdown I had made one that I felt was my dream perfume and named it "Porcelain". Just like the porcelain plates I had collected for years, it felt fragile but strong with some of my favorites notes; orris butter, oakmoss, petitgrain, orange flower, coconut water, lavender and white musk were some of the main notes in my personal concoction, and I was very happy with my creation! I began wearing it out in public, and that's when I realized it wasn't just beautiful to me. People began to stop me in line at the pharmacy or the grocery store and ask what was that divine perfume they were smelling?
So I began selling to friends and family, and eventually found like minded frag lovers in online groups that had a very positive reaction to Porcelain. So...I made a few more perfumes... Now I have nine fragrances available on this website and have just debuted my latest four.
My original fragrance "Porcelain" is an eau de parfum, which has a 20% fragrance concentration, and lasts about 4-5 hours on most people's skin. Many of my customers loved it, but asked if I could create a longer lasting version, so I upped the fragrance concentration to 27% and named it "Porcelain Intense". At that concentration, it's now considered a parfum, and my customers are telling me it lasts all day. Mission accomplished!
I also have three other eau de parfumes that are now available; Santal Cherry, Pistachio Queen and Radiant Cherry. I love them all, so check them out using the "Shop" button above.
Now you can try before you buy! I'm now offering 3 different sample sets; Set #1 is the first five fragrances I created, Set #2 are the last four I've created, and Set #3 are all nine fragrances. You can also find these on the "Shop" page.
Have a great day and I'm happy you are here!
