Blending has always been a true passion of mine, whether it be cocktails or purely bourbon, and over the course of my career I have explored every avenue to grow my sensory bank and fine tune my skill set. This is what led me to perfumery. While obviously not for consumption, aromatically speaking the approach of constructing and understanding fragrance is unique compared to our beloved world of bourbon.

Whiskey in and of itself contains such a plethora of diverse and nuanced aromatic notes, so much so that wearing fragrance and perfumes are frowned upon while tasting it to ensure the whiskey can shine. This unwritten rule of aromatic neutrality has always been an observation at the forefront of my mind, as an individual that prior to working in this industry was usually generously slathered in whatever scent fit my mood.
