Natural Perfumery

Like dreams, scent is the royal road to the Unconscious. . .

Timeless and seductive, natural perfume is a rich alchemy of the essences of spices, flowers, resins and wild grasses blended with the unique chemistry and oils of our skin. Prized as precious bounty from the earth, natural perfume ingredients have been highly valued throughout ancient history.  The absorbing ritual of creating a natural perfume is one of the most creative and inspiring aspects of my work with essential oils as botanical fragrances provide a life enhancing and intimate connection to nature when made with high quality plant materials. I find infinite joy in the process of blending, pausing and finally experiencing the perfume in its unique symphony of scent.

“So far I've treated myself to two sessions of perfume making with Wendy and I'm really looking forward to the next one. The two perfumes we made together are very different from each other and I love them both. One is very earthy and grounding and the other very sensual. Made at different times and in response to different needs and desires I found the experience of blending the scents to be subtle, intuitive and magical. 

Working with Wendy is a delight. She is skilled, sensitive and has beautiful qualities of great depths and easeful joy. I highly recommend her.”
