The heretic queen book5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Since 2003, I have been supplying my Chef’s Essences® to the finest chefs and mixologists, along with many artisanal producers of fine chocolate, ice cream, candies, and baked goods. I am an advisor at The Institute for Art and Olfaction, which has created the Aftel Award for Handmade Perfume in my honor. I love adding a sense of luxury and well-being to people’s lives.Īs the founder of Aftelier Perfumes, I have been hailed as one of the fragrance industry’s “most prolific talents” by Vogue and an “angel of alchemy” by Vanity Fair, and listed as one of the top seven bespoke perfumers in the world by Forbes. I hand-blend and bottle all my products in small batches in my Berkeley, California studio, and personally attend to every detail of the process in creating every product. Some of the essences in my palette are antiques that have aged for many decades, like fine wines.Įverything I make is free from synthetics, parabens, glycols, and petrochemicals. Often I smell a dozen versions of the same oil, searching for one that surpasses all the rest. ![]() Finding these essences is a quest that I enjoy as much as the act of creating with them. I create each of my perfumes from the comprehensive collection of strikingly beautiful natural essences that I have assembled over the years from hidden corners of the world. ![]() I started making natural perfumes almost 30 years ago. ![]()
