“I want to know the couple’s story—where they’re from and how they met, and what scents those experiences call to mind.”
How do people want to smell on their wedding day?
It’s about being draped in your best personal fragrance ever but also one that fits the setting. Like for my sister’s wedding in France, I customized a fragrance with French flowers and herbs like anise, lavender, neroli, and mimosa. For a friend who worked for the designer Todd Snyder, I did a rich jasmine chypre with a big dose of a rare pungent oud from Thailand. That’s not actually something you would be able to buy in a store— oud is so rare because it’s a natural oil that the agarwood tree produces only when infected by a specific fungus—but the point is it was very personal. It’s about the mood you want to create: Do you want a south-of-France kind of ambience with the scent of rose fields and jasmine? Do you want to evoke an icy Russian night with juniper and thyme?
What if you’re not sure what you want to evoke?
