Announcement
The Mother Naturalist tee was featured in the recent Sleater-Kinney video for “Worry with You” woohoo!
This signature fragrance line was founded in 2010, as a performance art project. I see these perfumes treading the line between product and art. The bodies wearing these fragrances are new sites-- the project scope and literal size grows with each new person carrying the olfactory work into their personal contexts. Many of these perfumes started out as performance pieces, some were parts of installations, others were created for exhibition purposes.
When in Portland, Oregon perfume can be purchased from a brick and mortar location at Monticello Antique Marketplace 8600 SE Stark (dealer FROC)

5 out of 5 starsI love this perfume so much, and have been wearing it for years since finding it at the Sou'Wester Lodge almost 10 years ago. It wears well on the body, and is warm with lots of layers of depth. I wear it everyday year round.

5 out of 5 starsEverything I've purchased from this shop is delicious. I ordered this sample to try a new scent, and to bring with me during travel. This collection is my favorite perfume that I've ever found.
