1,000 Lilies (aka Susinon)
Susinon was a luxurious and strongly scented lily perfume that was made by the Egyptians as well as the Greeks, but the Egyptian version was thought to “excel most’. This fabulous fragrance was also used by Cleopatra to scent the sails of her royal barge, perfuming the air along the Nile as she sailed, proclaiming herself as Goddess and Queen. The exhaustive recipe for Susinon calls for spices and resins to first be soaked in fragrant wine and balanos oil to be prepared. When the oil ready, it is added to the spices along with 1,000 lilies. Interestingly, in our time a lily perfume would be almost exclusively worn by women, but for the ancient Egyptians, Susinon was one perfume deemed suitable for a man.
* 1,000 LILIES PERFUME has been created for Denver Art Museum’s KING TUT exhibit, 2010.
Adoration (Milan)
Inspired by Bonifacio Bembo’s “Adoration of the Magi” (about1455-1460) and Renaissance Milan’s great wealth and status among cities. This fragrance depicts traditional Catholic incense, which is based on the gifts of the Magi to the Christ child: frankincense, gold and myrrh. Even during the Renaissance, these rare aromatic gifts of the East (frankincense and myrrh) were more costly than their weight in gold.
I have included a precious rose note to this design as well, to center the essence and to symbolize Mary.
(*image credit: Bonaficio Bembo, active about 1444-78, Adoration of the Magi, about 1455-60, tempera and oil paint on panel, Denver Art Museum; the Simon Guggenheim Memorial Collection, 1957.167).

Alba (From Across the Alps)
Many wonderful works of Renaissance Art were created in Northern climes. Tapestries were known especially from the Flemish through France and into Italy. Alba was inspired by one such tapestry from the late 1500′s, woven at a Brussels workshop. The tapestry is made of wool and silk and the fragrance has been designed to convey that subtle sense of texture.
Alba also takes it’s inspiration from alpine flowers, delicate flowering trees and a delicacy of the northern landscape, white truffle.
(*image credit: Flemish designer, active 1500′s, Military Scenes, possibly from the story of Scipio Africanus, late 1500′s, woven at a Brussels workshop wool and silk tapestry, Denver Art Museum, Neusteter Textile Collection, Anonymous Gift).

Ancient Air

Aphrodisia
ESSENSE’ own aphrodisiac Oriental scent with extracts of flowers, woods and spices known throughout history and folklore for their aphrodisiacal qualities.
Aqua Admirabilis (aka Eau de Cologne)
Simply one of the most popular fragrances of all time! Eau de Cologne was originally called ‘Aqua Admirabilis’ by it’s creator Gian-Paolo Feminis, an Italian perfumer working in Cologne, Germany. French Soldiers and travelers brought the “water of Cologne” back to France and a classic was born. This light, clean and elegant scent was an essential for any 18th Century “Toilette” and has been admired through the ages by the stylish and refined Louis XIV, Marquise de Pompadour and Napoleon I.
100% Botanical Perfume.
Arabian Rose
A sweet, green rose note (accord) based on the first, indigenous rose of Arabia.

Bancha
In alignment with nature, this refreshing fragrance eases us through transitional months, as signs of vitality begin to resurface all around. Bancha’s earthy-green notes are inspired by the fresh tones of the traditional Japanese tea of the same name and comprised of essences used in traditional ayurvedic healing, to ensure complete wellness through the scent’s simple meditation. Let’s welcomes spring’s fresh start…
Bancha is comprised of 100% botanical essences.

Beach Roses
Timeless. Wild. Free.
Based on the glorious white and pink rugosa roses that grow wild along the sandy beaches of Cape Cod.
Bermuda Lyme
A reminiscence of voyages from the Olde World to the New… Fresh Caribbean breezes mix with exotic spices, rum, dark wood notes and of course, refreshing lime. In keeping with the tradition of ‘eau fraiche’ scents for Summer, Bermuda Lyme is both, coolly light and bright and yet complex. So, whether you’re sailing on a schooner or just enjoying the clear blue sky, this is your new Summer scent.
Blue-Green : Arnica
Breezy. Humid. Verdant.
The scent equivalent of DaVinci’s ‘bluing effect of atmosphere” or the sense of atmosphere in the Pacific Northwest. The subtle scent of conifers with the mineral laden quality of ocean air.
Bodhi Sativa (Patchouli project no.1)
A Summer patchouli design…my *entry* design for the “Summer of Patchouli Love 2011″ / Peace, Love and Patchouli! project. A suave and elegant patchouli perfume with a sexy, bohemian twist: a note of cannabis is hidden in the mix.
100% botanical perfume.
Butterfly Nectar
Only flowers could produce this sensual and provocatively honeyed elixir sipped on summer afternoons by butterflies. Perhaps this is the fragrance of the fairies or just the scent they use to call their lovers…
Cafe Noir
It is a Paris night. Dark and sophisticated, it evokes late concerts in smoke filled rooms…sipping coffee and listening to jazz. Captivating and sensual, Cafe Noir is an oriental fragrance that harmonizes spice, floral, resin and wood notes with the beloved aroma of black coffee. Cafe Noir fuses classical sensibilities with the flair of the artist.

Caravan Spice (Holiday no.11)
For our Holiday scent, 2011, we went ‘old school’… a kind of nostalgic remembrance of holidays past and the designs I used to create when living in Boston and how the season felt to me there. This is a cozy and warm spice scent with ambery nuances and a sense of home near a warm fireplace. Of course, the name recalls the old-world caravans that carry the spices from exotic lands to our homes.
Cardamom & Khyphi
KYPHI (an alternate spelling is Khyphi) is probably the most famous of all early Egyptian perfumes handed down to us from antiquity. Kyphi is the Latin version of the Greek translation of Kapet in Egypt which was originally a general term for fumigation through smoke and was used in the temples. Eventually Kyphi developed a particular recipe and ‘brand’. Primarily used as an incense, Kyphi was also used as a remedy for such ailments as nightmares and snake bites.
*For sale at Denver Art Museum’s KING TUT exhibit, 2010.
Cathedral (Holiday no.3)
An ancient aroma of sacred incense…the Holy Smoke of the Midnight Mass rises with a blessing for the coming year.

Opulent. Enigmatic. Beguiling.

* sample vials are 1/2 filled; Perfume / Extract sample vials are full.
Cuir et Champignon (aka Leather and Mushroom)
I have had this dream of making a mushroom perfume for many years now… Cuir et Champignon embodies all the soft and inviting qualities of white button mushrooms, then leads you to a more hidden place where the darker mushrooms grow and on to rich rawhide and dusty leather. I hope that you will love wearing Cuir et Champignon as I do; for me it’s a new classic.
* EdP sample vials are 1/2 filled.
Cyan
Ethereal. Winged. Pixiliated.
Created for Sniffapalooza Spring Fling 2009, Cyan is an airy, refreshing light blue-green aroma color interpretation. Inspired by the ultra modern bluish color in the CMYK color printing spectrum.
d’Anjou
Sheer as a veil, ethereal as a cloud, d´Anjou is Spring…the delicate scent of green pears, leaves, and early flowers. d’Anjou is a light fruity floral scent that is soft enough to wear anytime, with anything. It is the perfect ‘first perfume’ for a young girl.
December (Holiday no.10)
It’s Holiday time again…oh, yes, it is December.
December evokes for me many of the very best ‘smells’ of the season: pomanders, gingerbread, the long walk in the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree, and traditional incense (I call it ‘gnostic incense’) made of frankincense and myrrh. It brings the Holidays home for me.
dirty ROSE
A rose like no other: dirty ROSE. The image of a single rose that has been a bit manhandled; bruised and dragged through the mud which gives it its rugged beauty. Although dirty ROSE is a rose based perfume the note does not dominate; it is interwoven throughout the fragrance, continuing to grow as it dries down. And ladies…he may just borrow this; its a shared experience.
* sample vials are 1/2 filled.
Divine Gardens (Mantua)
Inspired by the allegorical image, “The Triumphs of Time, Fame and Divinity”, by a follower of Andrea Mantagna, Divine Gardens not only speaks to the imagery in the work but also Mantua’s exquisite homes and gardens of the wealthy and powerful.
This green and glorious fragrance is my first green chypre utilizing a tomato leaf note.

Based on detailed notes for the fragrance, “Parfum du Trianon”, commissioned by Marie Antoinette.

He created for her a delicate and beguiling floral perfume that not only bespeaks the flowers, woods and fresh air of Trianon but is full of symbolism of her life at Versailles and role as Queen.

My Medici perfume was not only inspired by this fabulously scented family but by a painting attributed to a follower of Botticelli called “Portrait of a Young Man in a Red Cap”.

Muguet Cologne
Limited Edition Spring 2011:
Here is my Muguet Cologne, stated for men, but really it is for anyone. Designed in the ‘eau de cologne’ style, the concentration is lighter and the overall feel is woodier and greener than a soliflore. For me, there is something about it that rings very true to an element of Muguet… kind of stylized like an art deco figure. It’s fresh and refreshing and I feel very approachable and easy to wear. I just loved the concept of creating a Muguet Cologne for men to enjoy this delicious Spring treasure.
100% Botanical.
As well, an original art work (acrylic/ sumi ink/ interference pigment on rice paper) was created through the inspiration of creating the perfume design.
Muguet de Mai
Limited Edition, Spring 2011:
Inspired by vintage lily of the valley perfumes and the challenge to create an all botanical muguet fragrance, Muguet de Mai Perfume is a floral bouquet centered around lily of the valley; not a mere soliflore taken from the ground and placed, sequestered, in a bottle but a perfume that brings the atmosphere of May, warm and sunny with blooming flowers everywhere, green grass and wet earth. Muguet de Mai is feminine and sweet; slightly girlish and womanly, too. She is a maiden of the fields covered in lily of the valley.
100% Botanical.
* For this limited edition perfume we created 9, 5 ml antique perfume flacons in 2011. We currently have 4 left for sale.

Pandora
Pandora: A Beautiful Evil
The “Beautiful Evil” is a quote from the story of Pandora as told by the Greek, Hesiod. She is the all gifted, all giving one, a singular woman and synonymous with Eve in many respects. It is she who opens humankind to the knowledge of good and evil and ultimately breaks the utopian ideal. With Pandora, mankind has plagues but also knowledge and maturity. She opens the door to truth and hope.
What began as an all-botanical design for a project changed direction with the addition of a subtle synthetic influence. It made all of the difference. This is also a perfume that also utilizes some new and exotic botanical materials…in Pandora, the ancient meets the 21 century.

Paradise Lost (the clarimonde project)
The phrase “ A twilight blue oriental perfume” most captured my imagination from the first time I heard it along with the image of faded flowers along side a bed of gold and silver, attended by a negro page wearing black velvet holding an ivory cane; and the satiny hand of “Clarimonde” as she lay dying. This cool, almost misty scene that might have been a last glimpse of Clarimonde paired with an alternate universe of warm opulence in Venice were always shimmering in my mindʼs eye as I created “Paradise Lost”.
Paradise Lost is a very limited edition: only 13, 5 ml PERFUME vials and Parisian-made, ochre colored Art Nouveau charm bottle sets have been produced.

Secreti di Belle Donne (Venice)
During the Renaissance, Venice was at the height of it’s power and luxury. Not only the global force for trade in Europe of exotic spices, fabrics and ships, but also for love and seduction through their beautiful Courtesans. A famous book of the period was called simply “Secreti”; a book of beauty secrets. My Secreti di Belle Donne perfume is inspired by the famous Courtesans of Venice and Venetian delicacies as well as the work by Vittore Carpaccio, “Portrait of a Lady with a Book”.
Secreti di Belle Donne is a wonderfully rich and subtle perfume that speaks to the beauty preparations of the lovely ladies of Venice as well as the underlying erogenous scent of the lovers trysts.
