About Cosima Key:

Scent is mysterious and powerful. A scent can move us back in time, remember a place or person long forgotten, conjure up a fantasy, or help us to reinvent ourselves. Nothing else seems to get inside of our minds, emotions, and memories quite like scent.

I've been fascinated with the power of scent and particularly blending perfume oils since I was a teenager in the 1990's. There were a couple stores in town that had fragrance bars where one could blend up their own perfume oil in a matter of minutes, (I still have a few of those bottles hiding in a closet). Since I discovered the joy of blending perfume over two decades ago I have been devoted to continuously learning more and developing my skills.

The general collection catalog is arranged here by direction; North, South, East, West, and Center. From my very early days exploring Paganism the concept of orienting information according to their correspondence with elements and cardinal directions felt natural. How this translates into the organization of the general catalog is as follows:

Scents of the North will lean toward being heavy, earthy, and gourmand.
Scents of the South include spices, spicy florals, citrus, pepper, and dry grasses
Scents of the East are for fruits, vanilla, green florals, and light woods
Scents of the West are aquatic, powdery florals, mint, and herbs
Scents of the Center will include minerals, resins, leather, and pungent woods.

Making perfume oil blends brings joy to my heart.

Thank you for the opportunity to share what I love with you.

Best Wishes,
