I was the weird kid who didn’t quite fit in. So I turned to comic books, fantasy stories, costumes, and theatre. Not just to escape, but to channel different parts of my personality and find the courage and strength to rise up to life's challenges as an outsider.

I believe scent (and fashion!) can do the same. They help us express and explore who we truly are... or who we are becoming. For me, fragrance is a kind of magic. Like spells in a bottle, each one invites you to step into your truest self if you are willing to embrace it.

I created Art & Alchemy for those who feel different and want to transform into something bold and fearless. If that speaks to you, you belong here.
