Yosh
For around $2000 you can create your own signature scent with San Francisco perfumer Yosh Han, who begins by asking her bespoke clients to give their intuitive responses to 100 essential oils. The highly personalized process of editing and fine-tuning continues until you both arrive at the perfect scent. Clients have included writer Nick Hornby, chef Gary Danko and the San Francisco Opera. Her ready-made limited edition scents have been sold in NYC's most fashionable stores, including Barneys and Takashimaya. |

Strange Invisible Perfumes
About $2000 gets you a consultation with Venice, CA perfumer Alexandra Balahoutis, which involves talking (a personal interview), tasting floral waters (because "the palate is an excellent gauge of essence compatibility.") and testing to see how fragrances mingle with your own body chemistry. Information about her custom perfumes is located in the "company" section of the website. |
