Letters from a Perfumer: Insight, Creativity, and Sensory Awareness

Printed and hand-signed pages, occasionally accompanied by additional cards.

Recommended for natural scent practitioners and fragrance enthusiasts.

Journal de l’Oeillet, named after the carnation, a botanical perfumery classic, is a seasonal correspondence exploring scent, perception, and imagination through analogue practice.

Format and Frequency
Delivered every three months as a signed, tactile letter by post. Each issue intertwines scent observations, field notes from ongoing personal and professional projects, and guided sensory prompts inspired by literature, nature, places, and dream-like impressions.

Purpose and Practice
The letters encourage attentive, embodied engagement with scent and environment. They support practitioners and enthusiasts in refining olfactive vocabulary, expanding conceptual and narrative thinking, and deepening sensory awareness. Occasional handwritten additions and aromatic suggestions are included.

Philosophy and Exchange
Valuing metaphor over data and ritual over productivity, the series offers a deliberate pause from the digital world. Subscribers may optionally respond with personal reflections; with permission, selected exchanges may be shared within the subscription.

Themes
Each seasonal letter provides an intimate view into the work of a natural perfumer, framed through personal letters and field-note-style excerpts. Topics span antique perfume research, sacred aromatics and entheogens, seasonal fragrant plant projects, and literary, emotional, and spiritual explorations of scent and sensory experience.
