It’s the first time in a while that I decided to stay at home and not plan anything for August. I was “travelled out”. April and May were spent in Bali, then June in Spain, and July in the US and Canada. My body felt exhausted, out of sync, and out of place. My body was signalling that something was not working anymore, so I stayed home to rest and connect my body with my mind and spirit.

I have always dreamt about creating perfumes. I am in love with the fusion of creativity, science, body and mind. I love the unexpected scents and I believe theres no bigger compliment than someone telling you that they love the way you smell, and if they dare, they will go ahead and ask for the perfume you are wearing.

Was it Bali or just this moment in my life? I guess both. It was the quiet Bali, the breathtaking one that happens when no cameras are available, the one that chooses when and who to reveal Mount Agung to, the one that echoes music and prayers from a distant temple through the fog of the jungle. That side of Bali, the magical one, definitely helped to heal things that felt stuck inside of me for years.
