Memories are captured not only in thoughts, but also in scents. For instance, I believe looking at a landscape, touching things, or listening to your surroundings will trigger some olfactory memories. This is the key idea behind my creating a scent or a new collection of accessories.
My journey into perfumery and the creative forces continue. I love creating memories or capturing a fleeting moment in one’s life of experiences to create that one special fragrance. -Jane Cate
We are taught to pay attention to what we see, hear, taste and touch but our sense of smell can tell us so much more, if we’d only listen.-Neil Morris
As an American Perfumer my perfumes are all-American jazz- improv and impressionist riffs that are based on my study and solid understanding of European classical methods. I stand in solidarity with our collaborative international perfume community -Shelley Waddington
I think that the more people learn the more they will want to make their own perfume and in the learning they will become more responsible and educated about the environment and realize that ‘nature’ provides. This is the earth-driven web of life.
Being an American perfumer, I felt less conventional constraints to creativity. Although we study the same classic fine fragrances, our market is so diverse that it allows for a broad range of tastes that stray far from the classics.
