Artisan perfumer crossing an ocean to rip it up and start again. I make fragrances with notes of art, queerness, wit, and the occasional provocation.

Good news: I converted the Google Sheet into a website. scentedatlas.com

Added a legend and filtering UI to www.scentedatlas.com. I’ll continue to refine the popup text, but the site is coming along nicely! #fragrancesky #perfumesky

Our friend Alexandra had a break-in overnight. If you’re on Capitol Hill today, stop in at Alexandra’s Macarons and support a woman-owned small business. #seattle

Just finished the first round of changes to Scented Atlas:
• Using Airtable to collect, normalize, and steward submissions from perfumers and boutiques.
• Using Leaflet to render the map in the browser with OpenStreetMap providing the basemap tiles.
I want to de-Google my personal and professional selves as much as possible. I started www.scentedatlas.com using Google Sheets and Google Maps, so my plan is to switch to Airtable and OpenStreetMap, respectively.

If, like me, you found your brand name being used on Amazon without your consent, you can send an email to [email protected].

Remember the human and be polite, as the person who receives your email had nothing to do with the actions of their employer.
FYI (btw), I closed my fragrance studio at the end of September, pending a move to Belgium with my husband and our cats.

I am not selling my now discontinued fragrance line on Amazon. The site is using my brand name for shoppers to find similar fragrances, like… Estée Lauder.

So that’s fun.

What a year it’s been.
• I launched my last fragrance “Closest to My Heart.”
• An unnamed poet laureate wrote what has to be the best review ever written for a fragrance, featuring “Maggie’s Last Party.”

Five years ago I received a phone call from Swedish in Denver that my mom was admitted after testing positive for COVID-19. The news left me in a state where I was either cleaning my house or lying on the floor.

It is now officially the first day of Winter, and so I present to you my annual Winter Mix.

For this year's theme, I’ve chosen songs that celebrate soul, funk, disco, house, techno, drum & bass, jungle, and post-rock over the decades.

Waiting for these to cool. Justin removed the piths, boiled the peels thricely for ten minutes, cooked them in sugar syrup for 45 minutes, tempered chocolate, and dipped each one by hand.

People who love to dunk on TikTok, this is why I still use the app. It led me to this wonderful app for creating portraits of my cats. https://uchinoko-maker.jp/?lang=en-US #catsky

On Halloween I did a walk-through with my landlord. The studio is officially closed.

And now, we wait.

Sold! The whole kit and caboodle to a very lucky person.
Moving overseas means these perfume materials, sadly, can’t come with us.

If you live in the greater Seattle area and want to instantly have the best surplus of materials at your disposal for making perfume, @ me.

I have 12 bottles left that I can fill with a fragrance you love but missed when I closed my studio on September 30th.

Send me an email and we can see what I have available for your fragrance wardrobe.

This is your absolutely last chance, btw, FYI. kbai

I’m happy I was able to get one last bottle and a shirt before @filigreeandshadow.co closed up. A fond farewell and best wishes on the next chapter! I’m excited to see what the next iteration brings!

Wearing The Purest Blue by @filigreeandshadow.co to the office today.

Straight-up mysore sandalwood.

Feels like a personal bubble of calm and capable to ward off the frazz around me.

Great for those hectic days when there’s no federal government.

Last day in the West Seattle studio. 30% off select scents, no code. Ends Sept 30 at 11:59 PM PT (or when sold out). Is this clearance out of spite so Seattle won’t tax my leftover inventory? Mayhaps.

Thank you for every visit, every story, every spritz. 🖤
