Welcome, Friends, to The Perfumed Poet.
Scent is a language older than words…
It carries memory, desire, and invites an exploration of the exquisite, the evocative, & the ephemeral.
It has the power to elevate our mood, pinpoint a moment in time, & amplify a conceptual ideal.
Together, we will explore a beloved curiosity cabinet bursting full of precious, fragrant delights… from decadent, incense-laced shadows to ethereal, luminous florals, from the most ancient of honeyed resins, to the wildest of mythic woods.
Here, scents are meant to be both explored and adored - to honor each season with an olfactory palette befitting each and every mood, layered with a sense of whimsy, reverence, and adoration of life itself.
Pictured here with one of the crowning jewels of my collection - Incense Rosé by Tauer. An enchanting, effervescent concoction of sparkling rose notes enveloped in a deep, rich tapestry of incense. The sculpted moonstone necklace is by SilvanArts, and the butterfly earrings are by Jeweled Hippie Shop, both on Etsy.
Together, we will spritz, sniff, and relish our way to a beautifully aromatic, escapist shangri-la... focusing the true heart of our appreciation on incredibly talented artisanal perfumers in niche, indie, and luxury spaces.
We will traverse near and far to the holy grail of perfume shops, learn fun facts about perfume history, experiment with new blends and perfume recipes, and even embark on some global journeys together.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
We will explore the conceptual, the atmospheric, the delightful, the weird, the rare, the mysterious, the undeniably glamorous, and the spectacularly transcendent gems of the perfume world.
I will share what perfumer’s work inspires me as well as occasionally serve some eclectic Romantic faerie boho maximalist colorful whimsigoth looks as I enjoy exploring my own personal style.
I’ll share my favorite tips and tricks from my past 12 years as a perfume lover, hobbyist perfumer, and Mythic Romantic artist and designer.
Ultimately, the goal is to inspire and fan the flames that are already ignited within you, to cultivate and embrace your own personal sense of style, glamour magic, and a perfume wardrobe to match.
Experimentation and a sense of play are to be expected. How might we use the power of scent with intention to convey a mood, a concept, a fragrant expression of embodied emotion? …and perhaps, some surprises along the way!
We live in times where your voice, your light, your own unique heart & soul magic, are so desperately needed. Now is the time to transcend the mundane and ascend into your most authentic, radiant, inspired creative self.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Dear reader, now is the time to free yourself forever from fear of being “too much.” We NEED you showing up as your fully embodied, vibrant, and present self.
Wear, spritz, and sparkle as you like.
Explore and unlock your inherent creativity, and blossom for a world that needs your unique, radiant light.
