An exploration of contrasts that creates an unforgettable olfactory experience. A delicate balance between light and shadow, it weaves together the sweetness of ripe, juicy fruits with the deep, earthy richness of patchouli and smoky vetiver. With its vintage-inspired accords—think lipstick and vinyl—it evokes a timeless, cinematic glamour, while the herbal warmth of laurel leaf absolute hints at forgotten, mysterious places.

Crafting a Fragrance: The Susan James Perfume Journey

Creating a fragrance is a harmonious blend of precision, patience, and artistry. Here’s how our vision takes shape:

-

Inspiration & Creation
Every fragrance begins with a spark of inspiration—a story, a feeling, or a moment captured in scent. Susan composes this "brief," often experimenting with dozens of trials, known as "mods," to bring the vision to life. This process can take months, sometimes even a year, as she refines the nuances and ensures every note resonates with the intended emotion.

-

Formulation
Once Susan is satisfied with her composition, the perfume is prepared at 100% material strength. This meticulous process can involve up to 100 individual ingredients. Each is measured with care in a pristine workspace, a process requiring focus and precision that takes several hours.

-

Maturation
After blending, the fragrance rests for about a month. This maturation allows the ingredients to harmonize, ensuring the final composition is as seamless as it is captivating.

-

Dilution
The matured compound is then diluted into a carrier and chilled for a few days. This step ensures stability and purity before the final refinement.

-

Filtering
Many of our natural materials contain waxes or subtle impurities. We use vacuum filtration to achieve clarity and purity. As the perfume is left to breathe post-filtration, the studio fills with its enchanting aroma—an experience as delightful as the fragrance itself.

-

The Result
The outcome is a carefully crafted, pure, and refined fragrance, bottled and ready to share—a testament to the artistry and devotion that defines Susan James Fragrances.
