expanded ingredient latitude
Patron opens the palette. We explore more angles before we lock the direction, so your final signature feels rare and unmistakably yours.

patron cartography session
your signature becomes visible, then becomes wearable.
Patron Cartography is the highest tier of the Traveling Atelier. A private, 90-minute scent cartography session built as a contained world, a short passage out of everyday life and into a guided ritual of identity and scent. We map what you consistently resonate with, what you avoid, and what you are becoming, then translate that map into a custom perfume sketch I refine into your finished bottle after the session.

more options. more refinement. more meaning.
how it works
The Three Acts keep the experience clean, intentional, and personal.
act 1
scent cartography
- you arrive, reset, and we establish your intention
- we review your scent quiz direction, then confirm it through live smelling
- we map clear yes, no, and maybe families so the build stays clean
- blind smelling moments so discovery leads, not explanation
act 2
building the accord structure
- we build 2 to 3 key accords that reflect your map, mood, and desired presence
- you smell each stage as it evolves so the perfume becomes a collaboration
- we create a draft sketch blend that represents your current signature direction
act 3
naming and declaration
- we declare the name, because the name locks meaning
- we document the direction, emotional target, and wearing rules
- we finalize what i refine over the next 30 days before bottling
what you leave with
Immediate proof, plus a refinement path.
the day of your session
- your 2 to 3 custom accords on blotters, created during the session
- approximately 2 ml of your draft sketch blend to wear-test and live with

after the session

- your final perfume is bottled, labeled, and delivered after refinement

what makes this different from buying a bottle
Bottles are chosen. Cartography is mapped. You do not leave with a guess. You leave with a framework you can use for the rest of your fragrance wardrobe.

Four small moves that make the session sharper.

take the scent quiz and save your result. your answers are a guide and are not stored.
take the quiz2
bring 1 to 3 fragrances you already love, or tell me what they are.

4
come prepared to speak in feelings, not just notes. emotion is part of the craft here.
