Scent is easy to relate to. You put some perfume on, and you’re, well, on yourself. We can call this form of self-enchantment an act of raising vibration. Since everything is energy, it’s not difficult to imagine the consequences of blending the molecular composition of your body with that of the plant kingdom.

Consciously creating a scent to fit an intention is a magical act that stretches what we already surround ourselves with. Also, when we create a scent entirely from natural essences, thus bypassing the ever-evolving world of synthetics, we create an authentic synergy between our force and the force of nature.

I don’t do it very often, but when I offer a limited edition face oil or perfume with the purpose of magical anointment, I have a particular ritual in mind. My olfactory creations are thus only available on rare occasions, or made at special request. 

For this work I only collaborate with leading professionals who can guarantee the quality of their distilled oils, concretes and absolutes, such as Esensera in Denmark, or the occasional ethnobotanist and distillation fanatics around the globe.

I like to think of the stuff I pour into my scent creations as the ‘stuff of the gods,’ as only the best will do. This means investing a considerable amount of money in the basic and precious ingredients, which also means, invariably, that what I make can only qualify as exclusive, insofar as it is both scarce and occupies the high end spot on the spectrum of things of value.
