I compose fragrances at the crossroads of art, memory and ritual. Each is a blend of evocative materials carefully chosen to transport you to moments that resonate with both the sacred and the familiar.

In embracing the beauty of the unseen and the mysterious, my work explores the subtle nuances of shadows, recognizing them as integral components of an intricate chiaroscuro. Through the medium of perfumery, my goal is always to distill the essence of this captivating interplay into a sensory journey.

I offer artful perfumes that defy the monotony of department store perfumes while providing a glimpse into something magical. Fragrance can be wearable art, where evocative narratives can be experienced and integrated into our own personal style.

Olfactory art allows me to explore many of the same themes that I explore in my other work through a more sensory medium. Through it I can turn archetypes, myths, and memories into something tangible and evocative. The creative process always feels like conjuring old ghosts that want to transcend the boundaries of time. That hauntingly beautiful essence is what I want you to experience in the finished work.

My ritual oils are handcrafted intuitively and empathically using aromatic compounds, herbs, roots, stones, and other materials associated with the oil's intention. Occasionally, I will use a synthetic fragrance if no other version of an aroma exists in a natural product (for example, a strawberry fragrance) or if it is not cruelty-free (I will only use synthetic animal musk alternatives). The oil will often arrive to you still containing the loose herbs, flowers, roots, and other materials in the bottle, which you can choose to strain out or keep in the bottle to continue to infuse it.

My spiritual practice pulls from my ancestral roots (European and West African) and is centered in folk Catholicism, Vodun, and hoodoo. All of my ritual oils, conjure oils, and spiritual items are crafted artfully and intuitively to honor the spirits that walk with me, honor the traditions of my ancestors, and to help elevate others through the magic of these paths.
