ÇaFleureBon Perfumer Spotlight: Amber Jobin of Aether Arts Perfume + A New Year To Create The Life You Desire Draw

Perfumer Amber Jobin at Burning Man 2013

I am often asked what I love most about perfumery. Truly, it is the olfactive artists themselves; their passion, their dedication and of course their fragrances. Over the past ten years, I have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful perfumers from nearly every continent (I don’t know any from Antarctica, do you?).  

Amber Jobin accepting the Golden Pear Award for John Frum, 2014

One of the most talented young artisans and someone with who I connect with on a deeply spiritual level is Colorado perfumer Amber Jobin of Aether Arts Perfumes.   

I first got to know Amber through Dawn Spencer-Hurwitz of DSH Perfumes; Amber has been Dawn’s apprentice/colleague since 2009.  She has won the Art and Olfaction Award in the Artisan Category in 2014 for John Frum Burner 4 (Review by Tama here) and Love for 3 Oranges (Tammy’s review here) was a finalist in the artisan category in 2016. Amber also creates mixed media jewelry (check out The Truth is Evident which is my favorite and there is only one available).

We have a much valued personal, as well as professional relationship, that works something like this: I will be thinking of Amber and she calls at that moment saying, "I have been thinking of you", or I have an idea for a project (or just want to chat and catch up) and Amber tells me, “This is so strange, I was just thinking of you”.  Amber is also the catalyst for a new project that I have put together involving eight artisan perfumers, launching March 15, 2017. –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

“A new year, a new chance to create the life you desire, a time to wrap up the old year and set forth your intentions for the coming journey around the sun.  I know that many people are glad to see the back and 2016 and are perhaps anxious about the coming months.  It was a difficult year for me as well, several much loved members of my family passed away and it was so hard to say good bye. But the bittersweet sorrow of their loss has also served as a catalyst for me.  It has urged me on and forced to me to examine what is most important to me.  Listen to your inner voice.  Follow your passion where ever it may lead.  In my case it always leads me to perfume; maybe I should be following my inner nose. I wanted to start the New Year with something I’ve been longing for:  a place to call my own in the form of a beautiful new website.  I’m proud to announce AetherArtsPerfume.com. Please stop by for a look and opt into our mailing list, I’d love to stay in touch with you.  Sending you all much love and your heart’s desire for the coming year!  -Amber Jobin, Aether Arts Perfumes.

    I have a longing to try John Frum. There is so much perfume now that keeping up with lines that sound interesting is difficult. I already follow Aether Arts on FB and have thought that Amber just seems like a cool person who would be fun to know. My family, both by blood and by faith are of the most importance in my life. Odds are good that I will lose both parents this year after caretaking them for several years and that, as you said Amber, will be bittersweet. Congratulations on the new website a and thanks for the generous opportunity 🙂 I’m in the US.

  • openmind says:

    I’ve never heard of this perfume brand before and I think I was missing a lot. So many interesting fragrances! I think I would love Love for 3 Oranges and Nude Moderne.

    At this moment in my life the most important thing are my relationships with my family and friends.

    Thank you for the draw. I’m in EU.

  • Ellen M says:

    I do not have any experience with this perfume line, although Love for 3 Oranges sounds very interesting. My family and my health are what are important to me right now. Thanks for the draw. I live in the USA.

  • Rox says:

    The Truth is Evident pendant is super cool! Love the new website. I enjoyed the nice cheery outlook for the new year!! My new year has not started out well, but I will not dwell on that, the best is yet to come this year. Thanks for the draw. I live in the USA.

  • Hikmat Sher Afridi says:

    Thanks for the introduction of Aether Arts Perfumes as I never heard before about this. I am impressed and these are now on my wish/want list: Saffron, Nude Moderne, Incense Indica, Inuus, A Roll in the Grass, Holy Hemp, Reefer Madness and Ginger Rose. Thanks for the code CFBILOVEU for 20% off on shopping online. Liked the Facebook Page of Aether Arts Perfumes.
    Thanks to the generosity of Amber Jobin and Cafleurebon for the opportunity to participate in the draw.

    I am intrigued by Love for 3 Oranges. At this time, the most important thing to me is the future of liberal values in the US and the greater world. I am in the US.

  • acquiredtaste says:

    I long to try Love for 3 Oranges. The most important thing to me is my health. I live in Malaysia.

  • aire says:

    I am new to Aether Arts Perfumes and there are many I would love to try, especially Holy Hemp, Love for 3 Oranges and Ginger Rose.
    What I wish for this year is lots of health and happiness for my children.

    Thank you for the draw. I live in Europe.

  • Timea says:

    The most important to me, is my family. I have no idea what would I do without them. I have already liked Aether ArtsPerfume on Facebook. I very like to try John Frum since long time. Thank you for the draw. I live in Europe.

  • Lubulla says:

    I ve never tried these fragrances but would like to try… especially Reflection and Electrum. The most important to me is a time spent with my seriously ill Mom and my health. I am in EU. Thanks.

  • lacrima99 says:

    Hmmm, I’m most interested in Love for 3 Oranges, since it’s high summer here and a lovely citrus sounds fabulous. Aether Argent, Red Dodecahedron and Black Rock all sound very interesting, as well. My family are the most important thing to me, closely followed by reading and learning every day. I live in Australia.
    Thanks very much for this opportunity!

  • Cynthia says:

    I have wanted to try this line of perfumes, in part because I had read that Amber was mentored by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, whose work I have so much respect for. Looking on her website, i think I would be most interested in trying Saffron. This year I am making health a priority. So far, I’ve started off good. I live in the USA, and I had liked Amber’s page some time ago. Thanks !

  • doveskylark says:

    i checked the website and joined the FB page and I love the fact that there is a cannabis line! I want to try A Roll in the Grass.
    It’s going to be a tough year, so strength will be necessary. What’s important to me is just waking up.
    I live in the USA.

  • Toblerone says:

    I’d love to try every Aether scent. This is not only my usual reaction to every new perfume brand. Aether sounds really special and unique. I love the approach: “you are not just another face in the crowd”.

    I’d be happy to have the opportunity to try any fragrance from this house. Thanks! I live in the EU.

  • echinacea says:

    What a great brand and website. The most interesting fragrances appear to be Ginger Rose and Love for 3 Oranges.

    This year I pray for health for my family and myself.

    I live in the EU.

  • Hootlia says:

    I remember reading the Love for 3 Oranges right when I was going crazy for citrus notes, so have always wanted to try it. I haven’t had a chance to sample any of the Aether Arts perfumes, but would really like to. Inuus and Ginger Rose sound particularly lovely. I’d have to say that new experiences are the thing that drives me most in life. I live in Canada, thank you.

  • hvit says:

    Thank you for this article. Apart from being the review of a very interesting fragrance brand, it turned out to be a very touching and wise reminder of the meaning of what sometimes is going on in our lives. Thank you for reminding me that bittersweet (and just bitter) experiences often serve as catalysts which bring us much awaited and important changes. I hope for such kind of change this year.

    Many fragrances from this site sound great, I am sure I will love Reflection.

    Thanks for the draw. I live in Norway.

  • Filip__ says:

    I’m so happy to see Aether offers cannabis fragrances! Cannabis flower has a great and much underestimated scent. What I would (and I will!) try first is Holy Hemp and Reefer Madness.

    Thhis year I am hoping for a new satisfying job for myself and good health for my grandparents.

    I’m in the EU, thanks for the draw.

    What a great introduction to a new perfume line: “A new year, a new chance to create the life you desire, a time to wrap up the old year and set forth your intentions for the coming journey around the sun.” This is going to be a very challenging year for me, both in personal and professional aspect. I need strength and energy. A modern fougere John Frum sounds best to start with.

    I love those mini roller bottles, they are so handy and look cute. I’d like to try Black Rock City because of “black” and Nude Moderne because it sounds just perfect. I live in the EU, thanks!

  • mozaik says:

    This year my priority is to have a good relationship with myself.
    I am very interested in trying Aether Arts fragrances, especially A Roll in The Grass and Love for 3 Oranges. Thank you for the draw. EU.

  • Miss Almond says:

    I’ve never heard of this brand before. Hemp line sounds very intriguing, as well as Saffron and Incense Indica.
    In 2017 I hope for a new, better job for myself and good health for me and my friends. I’m in the EU. Happy New Year and thanks for the draw!

  • cinnamon tree says:

    This is the best idea of perfume miniatures ever. Splash minis are usually a single use products and sprays don’t last much longer. Mini rollers are much more convenient and honestly I would like to try them all. Love for 3 Oranges sounds great because I love everything about orange.

    I think I don’t have a clear priority for this year, trying just to accept what life brings and enjoy every little good moments as well as the bigger and more important ones. I live in Europe.
