THE LONG STORY

In 1996 I started making malting soaps, I was beyond thrilled when i found another apothecary shop that offered perfumes classes in the back of their stor. Finally I was able to touch the materials and experiment on my own! I started buying my own essences to take home. Before I knew it. I had created a small perfume organ, as my knowledge and craft grew. I made perfumes for loved one, always trying to match their personality of my scents with their intended recipient.

In 2001 I moved to California with my husband and children. Enable to find a place to study perfumes, I took a course in Aromatherapy and recieved a certificate with honours. Though I love the application of Aromatherapy and deeply appreciate the therapeutic value of these amazing oils, I missed the concretes, absolutes and sticky resins that are used in perfumery. I missed blending for the pure heart, beauty and luxury of scent. The defining moment of my journey was around 2005 when I bought the book ESSENCE and ALCHEMY by MANDY AFTEL I somehow ended up in her Berkeley studio after a few years later and have since returned many times. Even though the busy years spent raising four amazing kids perfuming and Mandy's guidance has remained an absolute constant in my life. As my children grow older, I am able to spend more time on my life long passion and bring my long time vision of Jade daisy into reality.
