Some bonds are timeless. Some connections go beyond words, beyond time, beyond life itself. For me, that bond was with my mom, my best friend, my confidante, my soul mate. She was the person who just got me, no explanations needed. We spent countless hours on the phone, sharing stories, dreams, and moments big and small. Whenever life got overwhelming, she was my go-to, my anchor, the voice that could make everything feel possible. Losing her left a silence I could never have

There are moments in life that sparkle, moments that feel effortless, joyful, and unforgettable. Champagne & Rose was inspired by those moments and by my mom, her grace, her warmth, and the way she could make even the simplest occasion feel extraordinarily special.  I often remember evenings spent together, the soft clink of glasses, the delicate sweetness of lychee martini’s, and her laughter filling the room. It was in those moments, elegant, lively, and yet intimately comf

Some scents don’t just linger in the air, they linger in your heart. Sandalwood is one of those fragrances for me, a scent that reminds me of quiet evenings with my mom, the kind of moments that feel simple yet timeless, and the kind that shapes who we are. As a child, I remember the gentle aroma of sandalwood burning faintly in the corner of the room, mixed with the warm comfort of vanilla-scented candles and the subtle spice of my mom’s favorite teas.

Green Tea & Citrus was inspired by the moments of clarity and lightness my mom always seemed to carry with her, the way she could lift a room simply by being present, and the small rituals we shared that brought calm and freshness into everyday life. I remember mornings with her, the crisp air flowing through an open window, the gentle brightness of citrus fruits on the counter or the warm aroma of her freshly baked lemon pound cakes, and her laughter drifting softly as we si

Scents are powerful, point - blank - period. Some have the power to spark joy, awaken memories, and stir the heart. Jasmine Petals & Pear Nectar is one of those fragrances for me, a scent inspired by the playful, warm, and radiant spirit my mom carried with her… her laughter, her energy, and the way she made every moment feel special.   I remember afternoons spent with her, the sunlight warming the room, the faint sweetness of fresh fruit in the air, and her gentle, teasing s

Like I always say, every aromatic fragrance tells a story, and this one is one of elegance, warmth, and memory. For me, Saffron & Amberwood is one of those scents. It captures the quiet sophistication my mom carried with her, and the sense of refinement that seemed effortless in her presence. I often remember the evenings when she would host small gatherings at home, the subtle glow of candlelight, the soft murmur of conversation, and the faint, comforting aroma of her favori

Scents have the power to transport us, back to a moment, a memory, a feeling. For me, White Tea is more than just an aromatic fragrance; it’s a tribute to my mom, to the quiet moments we shared, and to the calm she always carried with her. Growing up, some of my fondest memories with my mom were the simplest ones, sitting by the window as the morning light spilled across the room, the scent of freshly brewed tea in the air, and the soft hum of conversation that needed no word
