Alchemy on the move (popping up)

Fragrance from Flowers

It's all plants in here:

For twenty-three years, I've been blending essential oils for skincare (because I'm mystified and enchanted by the power of plant essences).

In the past year, my understanding of alchemical reactions & the joys of natural perfumery has become -not quite - obsessive; but clear that the years were not wasted on my fragrant sensibilities. 

Botanical fragrances by Alchemy all begin with essential oils, attars, and absolutes. All distilled from natural plant materials - and carefully crafted. 

Decidedly nostalgic, feminine, provocative and charming: I'm really proud of the spring selection (which includes the 2016 crop of Dandelion).

The summer selection is light, floral-citrus, spicy and tenacious and will be available June 20 (solsitce). Alchemy fragrances are available in the studio and in the online boutique.

Henna & Meaning

People often ask about the symbolic meaning of henna.
It's not so much that the shapes represent something; it's the symbolic gesture and the meaning YOU bring to the experience. Because you LIKE it is meaning enough.
But sometimes there is more. Like when you're going on a journey and separated from loved ones and you want to feel tethered and connected.

Private appointments are always welcome:: for yourself or for you and friends (book online).
