About
Oenone creates natural perfumes made with essential oils and absolutes, resins, and plant tinctures. The fragrances are explorations of place and identity, and seek to conjure forgotten experiences and emotions.
I believe that the craft of perfumery can reveal to us secrets of divinity, beauty, and memory; and tethers us to a history of ancient aromatic practices.
My perfume practice is informed by my study of herbalism, philosophy and esoterica, and a love of ritual and ceremony.
Well, a new era has dawned, and I am lifting one of the veils. For over seven years I have been studying herbalism and medicine making. I do incorporate, but do not advertise, this as an element of my perfume brand. It has remained a mostly incognito influence until now. In this section I will offer a variety of herb and plant based products that have a long history of fortifying the human spirit and body. I am not a medical professional; severe health concerns should be addressed by a doctor. I am merely offering up access to age old, traditional herbal products. Blessed be.
In the spirit of resourcefulness and touch of scarcity, these products will not come in overly fancy bottles or appropriately branded! However, you can be sure that a great deal of care, attention, and physical effort went in to their creation!
