The best thing about being a perfumer is that I get to hang out with, learn from and play with some very cool materials!
I think of my perfume materials as people, they are my friends. Every single one of them is totally unique!
Each one has it's own specific set of characteristics!
scent
lifetime
impact
place of origin
chemical composition
temperature
texture
strengths
weaknesses
degree of transparency
color
