Consultations in Botanical Perfumery, Extraction & Sensory Observation
My work is rooted in close observation of plants and their transformations.
Since the founding of Wild Veil, I have devoted my practice to preserving ephemeral botanical aromas through natural perfumery, enfleurage, tincturing, spontaneous fermentation, botanical aging, and other forms of aromatic extraction. Much of my work explores moments of transformation that are rarely encounteredāthe brief intervals when flowers fade, fruits ferment, teas oxidize, resins mature, and living botanical materials reveal entirely new aromatic expressions.
Many people come to me not simply to learn an extraction method, but to develop the sensory framework needed to recognize, understand, and preserve fleeting botanical aromas.
Consultations are tailored to your individual interests and projects. Together we might troubleshoot an extraction, evaluate an aromatic material, refine a perfume, discuss spontaneous fermentation, explore enfleurage, think through experimental extraction techniques, or develop new approaches to capturing scent. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, each session is an opportunity to observe, question, and deepen your understanding of botanical fragrance through conversation and collaborative exploration.
Whether you're an established perfumer, botanical artist, distiller, farmer, chef, researcher, or simply someone drawn to the aromatic lives of plants, consultations are designed to meet you where you are while expanding how you perceive fragrance, transformation, and time.

Every plant has more than one fragrance.
Some reveal themselves immediately. Others emerge only through time, transformation, careful observation, and patience.
My workāand my consultationsāare devoted to recognizing those fleeting moments before they disappear.
