I live in Australia, have been a little obsessed with all things olafactory since an early age (my fascination with shoes manifested a little later…).

I have a day job, plus a few others (because who wants to do just one thing?). They are demanding but also fun and challenging.

My best friend is furry and wet-nosed and you can generally find her lying on my feet under my desk.

My other best friend (and partner in life) lacks the wet-nose but is accompanied by several guitars that occupy many corners of our home. I love that he encourages me to find balance – to work a little less and create more.

I wish I had more time to find ALL of the perfumeries and immerse myself in them for days.

If I could rotate through several perfumes per day, I would. My daily struggle is not with my clothing wardrobe but my perfume wardrobe…it’s not that I feel I don’t have anything to wear, I just don’t want to limit myself to only one for the following 8 hours!

I used to be a chronic oversprayer…but now I am more conscious of it and try to keep it under control, for the comfort of others.
