SCENT ARTIST
As a painter, architect and designer, Dannielle Sergent is an artistic creator by trade. Her passion for fragrance, and the desire to blend old-world craftsmanship with a modern day sensibility, provided the inspiration for her creative foray into the world of scent. 

Unlike some who set out to capture the essence of a particular memory or place, Sergent lets intuition guide her creative process. Much like her approach to a blank canvas, she paints intuitively...with scent, following the colors of each element along multiple paths. She stops just at the “moment of completion.” Otherwise, she claims “the scent artist, like any artist, risks over-working the final blend”.

Sergent’s decision to create a unisex fragrance line stems from the historical origins of perfume, as well as the fact that she herself has always worn both men’s and women’s fragrances. Avoiding sweet and overly floral blends, the result is collection of  fragrances that are woody, herbal, aromatic and elegant.

"What we're talking about is the art of abstraction in perfumery:  the creation of a  new smell 
for its own qualities, and not for any fidelity to things already known".
