The Art of Custom Perfumery

The art of custom perfumery and the endless possibilities

There’s no secret to the fact that I love fragrance and the mood it creates.

I love how certain scents can evoke memories and allow us to recall moments in time. I love that they are extremely personal, the same fragrance can smell different on you than your best friend. I love having specific perfumes for special events like a wedding, or when travelling to far-off places. I love that you can revisit all those days and feelings with just one sniff. Simply put, scents spark tremendous joy in your life! Therefore, if you haven’t created your own special blend, then you my friend, are missing out.

The Process Is Simple Yet The Aroma Is Complex

Unconventional notes like holy water, tar and gun smoke adds peculiarity to a fragrance.

Having a clear idea of what you envision is essential when creating a fragrance. Thought must be placed on the  base notes, heart notes, and top notes that will be used to create a custom-blended perfume of cologne. Base notes are strong and long-lasting, top notes are light and fresh but dissipate quickly, and heart notes harmonize the other two. Take your time in the process to ensure a pleasurable experience.

It helps if you have a scented portrait in mind. Are you a citrus lover, do florals make you swoon? Your scent profile will consist of base notes, heart notes and top notes. Regardless of what scents you choose, it is important to have at least one of each note.

Base notes ground your scent, they are usually the strongest and linger the longest. Top notes are what you will usually smell first in ascent, however, they also wear off the quickest, so they are often light and fresh. Heart notes bring the base and top notes together to create perfect scent harmony. When creating your scent be sure to allow yourself plenty of time and I guarantee you will love the experience!

Possibilities are infinite with of custom perfumery. Create a niche one-of-a-kind scent with intriguing fragrance notes like: truffle, champagne, jasmine rice, and teak.
