Alongside my own collection I develop fragrances for other houses. The work is the same — built by hand, material by material — but the result carries your name, not mine.
What I do
- Bespoke formulasA fragrance built from a brief for your line: direction, materials, structure, corrections against skin.
- Product scentingScent for candles, home, body and skincare, adjusted to the base you actually manufacture in.
- ReformulationAn existing scent rebuilt when a material is discontinued, restricted, or the cost no longer works.
- Materials & sourcingSelection of naturals and molecules, with suppliers named so you can buy directly.
- Small batchesFor short runs I can compound and macerate here rather than hand the formula to a factory.
How it works
- BriefYou describe the brand, the wearer, the register, the constraints — budget per kilo, base, regulatory market.
- DirectionsI return several sketches in different directions, on blotter and skin, with notes on each.
- RefinementWe choose one and correct it across rounds until it sits where you want it.
- HandoverYou receive the final formula in percentages, the materials list with suppliers, dosage guidance for your base, and the documentation your compliance work will need.
Ownership
Who owns the formula, what it costs and how long it takes all depend on the brief. Tell me about yours and I will come back with terms.
