Susan at workDo you have a favorite fragrance? I know people who are the first to purchase the latest fragrance that either their favorite celebrity or designer introduces. Then the other end of the spectrum is the person who never wears a fragrance. Somewhere in the middle is that person who has a favorite fragrance and it becomes her “signature”. I fall somewhere closer to the “signature” fragrance than either extreme. What has been frustrating over the years is finding a fragrance that works for ME. Fragrances are so individualized so one perfume will be lovely on one person and terrible on another.
We have a unique opportunity here in Atlanta to work with Master Blending Artist, Susan Sexton to fabricate your own custom perfume. Susan has studied in Grasse, France with Galimard, the oldest parfumerie in France. When you work with Susan, your personal fragrance will be formulated from one of the fourteen families of perfume. The perfumer’s desk, the Organ, houses 132 trade-secret scents/essences. Clients begin to blend base notes, then heart notes, then top notes. “The essences used to blend top notes last for approximately one hour; a couple of hours later, the heart notes dissipate, leaving only the fragrance of the base notes – the fixatives,” says Susan.
I had the pleasure of working with Susan to create my own fragrance. Not only was it a delightful experience, I loved my unique fragrance and, even better, my husband loved it. To get your personal fragrance, you don’t have to head to France and, by appointment, visit the Galimard parfumerie. Susan at BLEND will welcome you and help you celebrate your birthday, other special occasion or just treat yourself. Susan also does bridesmaid parties or works individually with both brides and grooms.
You can contact Susan at 404.202.5503 or email her at info@blendcustomparfum.com. Blend is located at 2971 North Fulton Drive, Atlanta, GA 30305. She works by appointment so please contact her rather than just dropping in.
