About
WALES PERFUMERY
Great memories
My love for perfumery started in my childhood, playing with my Grandmother’s beautiful fragrance bottles. I’d pull out the stoppers and smell the incredible scents within. When I was ten years old I had a chemistry set for Christmas. I absolutely loved it, and chemistry became my favourite subject in school.
In my teens, I had all the iconic 1990s fragrances: Lulu, Poison, Anais Anais, Acqua Di Gio, Tresor, Clinique Happy to name a few. Miracle by Lancôme was a particular favourite, it was actually launched while I was working on the Lancome counter in Boots. Great memories.
Award winning career
I went on to have an award winning career in the pharmaceutical industry before a chance reading of an article in a chemistry magazine led to me to train as a perfumer in Paris. After many years of studying perfumery, in 2019 I began hosting perfumery courses here in Monmouth’s beautiful Wye Valley, from my lab that looks out onto our amazing 500 year old secret walled garden.
What began as an artisanal perfume lab has evolved into a space where creativity, craftsmanship, and education come together. In 2022, I launched my very first fragrance collection, Natur, inspired by the scent of nature and the history of the landscape in Wales. Now, as an independent, niche perfumery, I embrace the freedom I have to create fragrances inspired by nature, history, and stories that fascinate me. I hope you love them as much as I do.
I am a proud member of The British Society of Perfumers and the International Fragrance Association. I am also a champion for Smell Taste UK.
