  2. Featured Brand: 1000Flowers

    I first met Perfumer, Jessica Buchanan, of @1000flowersperfumer outside her atelier/boutique in Old Town Grasse, in 2018. This was my first trip to Grasse and meeting Jessica was my “wish fulfilled” moment. She is a Grasse-trained perfumer, 10+yr resident and veteran in the world of essential oils, natural skincare and fragrance. Her fragrance line was broad and beautiful, her philosophy grounded in deep appreciation and respect for the natural world from the fragrance ingredients to the paper packaging.

  4. With My Five Senses I Discover Everything

    In the process of naming SENTi, it was a delight to discover that Sentir, means to feel in French, Italian, Spanish and Latin. With it's five letters, SENTi references the five senses: scent, taste, touch, sight and sound. 

    Les 5 Sens, a French nursery rhyme by Ninon Linotte, serves as a navigation in store and maybe even a way finding tool in the shop someday.
