ABOUT THE JOURNEY

  My personal journey into fragrance design was rather unconventional, and most certainly unplanned. Although I’ve always had an affinity for perfume, my college road map didn't include chemistry courses. However, during 2016, I became truly intrigued with ‘clean’ fragrances, and based on nothing more than personal interest, I began blending essential oils & aromatic ingredients to create a signature scent for myself {kindly note the ‘for myself’ part}.

As destiny would have it, every single time I'd wear my new ‘signature scent’ out & about, I'd get irreverently stopped in my tracks with, 'WHAT DO YOU HAVE ON?!' Complete strangers would ask if they could buy my bottle out of my purse. So, within a very short time frame, and zero retail experience, my husband & I built a small {home} apothecary, and feverishly began hand-blending, bottling, labeling, and stocking local boutiques with Boho products. In hindsight, the launch of allurESSENCES LLC will always be remembered as an authentic ‘induction by fire’ & a genuine labor of love. 

In 2019, the overwhelming support of our original line of essences inspired us to take our passion for fragrance to the next level. Specifically, the goal was to design a new line of essences with skin health & the psyche in mind that not only show love to our bodies, but our communities & environment, as well (read more below). We knew we couldn’t accomplish this alone, so our search for a fragrance manufacturing company {that meets environmental & quality standards set by RIFM, IFRA, Oregon Tilth, ISSA & the NPA} ensued. 

Fast forward six months, and our original blend for Pure Love {Boho} was reformulated into a fine fragrance {essence} that's even cleaner than before, and free from known perfume allergens* & harmful ingredients, such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates {& many more - see 'Ingredients' page}. 

It's proudly made in the USA, vegan, cruelty free, and designed with ethically-sourced ingredients.

Presently, allurESSENCES LLC is rapidly growing by securing new relationships with retailers & boutiques across the country who have similar values & missions as our own. We’re also finalizing the formulation of two additional essences:

Pure Love {Moroccan} & Pure Rebel. 

We're entirely grateful you’re here to learn more, and we invite you to read the extremely revealing testimonials of those who have personally connected with & adorn our essences.

With Love & Gratitude,

the allurESSENCES Team
