The Tisane Collection was inspired by places I have visited in reality
or in my dreams. Trying to capturing a mere moment, a feeling, a season, a
gray sky, falling leaves, English trees, rain soaked concrete, walking the
neighborhoods of London with my sister in October. The scents themselves
are abstract, very personal and based on scent memory of a place and of an
experience. Each doesn't blatantly tell you what you "should" be smelling,
but is a mere suggestion of aromas. Scent as a story, meant to delight and
move you with a sense of personal connection and surprise. Each is mingled
with rock and roll, favorite places and the emotions connected to them. May
you create your own each time you burn them.

BRON YR AUR
notes; stone cottage
in the Welsh countryside. rain drops + moss. as we walk down country lanes
in a landscape where magic fills the air.

FIELD OF GRASS
notes; freshly cut
grass in the heart of the country.
swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

HOLLAND PARK
notes; leaves are
falling all around. rain soaked october earth layered under a musky
moon.

LOVE THAT BURNS
notes; the bitter and
the sweet. lemon rose earth. give me your love in return but please don't
leave me
with a love that burns.

ST JOHN'S WOOD
notes; looking
through the bent backed tulips. smoldering chimney smoke. dried vines + brick walls.

CELEBRATION DAY
notes; a little celebration, there's something in the air. bitter sweet orange blossoms, neroli and pine bark. we're gonna dance and sing in celebration.

KENSINGTON GARDENS
notes; you're here with me, surrounded by lily of the valley. To be known is everything. Fall asleep with me, with the sun on your face and jasmine in the air.

ONE RAINY WISH
notes; misty blue and white rose too. eleven moons above me and you.
golden rose color of the dream I had, this timeless day, you stole my heart away.

SWARM OF BEES
notes; burnt honey and wild cut field flowers for your hall. carried in a swarm of bees, blowing in the breeze, if you go then, go with me, take me please.
