American Perfumery is profound as it is forged in the ideals of the American Dream. It lives in the spirit of exploration and discovery. Many perfumers are working against the grain, against conventional training, yet gaining speed through working together and creating a community, and producing fine fragrance. They are pioneers and innovators. When I began writing my blog Soliflore Notes in 2011, and as an Editor for ÇaFleureBon in 2012-2014, (I was introduced to ÇaFleureBon by Yosh Han at the Elements Showcase and my first article was the Scent Track to The Artist) I became aware of fragrance events such as the first San Francisco Artisan Salon that helped galvanize the artisan movement and create paths for all the current wave of American artisan houses across the country. I am most impressed these authentic approaches. I am inspired by the perfumers, perfume writers, and disrupters who share their knowledge willingly and further the science and art of scent both inside and outside of the bottle, Institute of Art and Olfaction in LA, and the recently opened Perfumarie in NYC.
