My journey into the world of fragrance started on a cold January day in 2018. I walked into my first perfumery class and the rest is history, as they say. I dove headfirst into the world of fragrance and wrote about what the arrival of AI means for perfumery, the coming of gender-free fragrance, and taught a class at the Institute for Art & Olfaction. Since then, I've been blending my own scents and creating fragrances for perfumes, candles, soaps, and more. 

I knew I wanted to make a fragrance-based something of my own. It's an art, a science, and a whole undiscovered realm full of potential. So with that I created KŌDŌ, the way of the fragrance. 

KŌDŌ is a fragrance-forward personal care brand inspired by the Japanese tradition of appreciating scents. Translated to "way of the fragrance", kōdō is one of the three main Japanese art practices alongside kadō (flower arranging) and sadō (tea ceremony).  The sense of smell is unique in its direct connection to the emotional and memory parts of the brain. This explains why certain scents remind you of a unique memory in your life. Fragrances are a vacation in a bottle; transportive and euphoric.
