Our Story

We are San Francisco–based fragrance specialists working as independent consultants, with a shared, lifelong love of scent and a deep fascination with olfaction.

Together, Vanessa Blanchard Lee and Hannah Nelson bring over 40 years of combined experience across the beauty and fragrance industries, spanning product development, copywriting, cosmetic and fragrance journalism, content creation, professional makeup artistry for film, television, and stage, with marketing, education, healthcare & communication degrees.

Our work is grounded in education, storytelling, and sensory exploration, creating curated, immersive experiences that invite connection, discovery, and delight.

We invite you to sniff, wonder, and be transported. 

“Scent builds connection. Connection builds community. To explore scent is to explore memory, mood, and self.”
