Capturing fragrance through video narrative : challenging.
But give me a challenge and I’ll give it a good try.

COUMAKATCHA
Soft to***co, tonka bean, coumarin and oakmoss wrapped in velvet warmth. Vintage sensuality reimagined through a modern molecular lens.

FROOT
A sophisticated fruit composition balancing citrus, herbs, woods and amber. Freshness without sweetness. Brightness with depth.

THIS MIGHT BE LOVE
An intimate study of closeness, neuroception and emotional gravity. Soft musks and woods suspended somewhere between comfort and uncertainty.

THIS CAN’T BE LOVE
Violet, iris, smoke and skin. A fragrance about misread signals, longing and the dangerous beauty of believing too deeply.

AS ADAM LEFT ATLAS
Atlas cedarwood collides with sharp futuristic woods in a scent about departure, ambition and carrying your origins into modernity.

Five fragrances. One year of work.
Perhaps the clearest expression yet of the Jonathan Ward world.

Proud…
—
For the first time in my creative career, I have been granted the time and the mental freedom to create. A languid process of allowing a ‘natural calling’ to unfold. And the results have culminated in a body of work that has been tested to my genuinely interested clients. When I say tested, I mean that I released the scents unsmelled. They attracted who they attracted. I’m very grateful to have a client base that doesn’t sit on the sidelines and simply watch (mostly).
The five best selling scents deserved to be housed in a body of work showcased the year. Before we enter the next phase this proud artist can metaphorically tip his creatively feathered cap and look ahead.

One Full Year’s Work…

Last May I launched Mink Opal, the third Jonathan Ward perfume. Since then, nearly every spare moment has been dedicated to refining my craft, exploring emotion, material and modern perfumery through five new 30ml Extrait de Parfum Intense creations.

May Newsletter: seeing Double
—
In previous Jonathan Ward chapters there has been a definite pattern: create, watch it soar, then slowly lose grip of the flight deck and watch it begin to plummet. This chapter feels closer to the end of the novel and, as humans, we do love a happy ending. Of course, we can leave the pen to write its own conclusion, but it certainly helps if we’re writing with beautiful ink and allowing the narrative to flow. Too metaphoric for a Monday? Okay, we’ll leave the cryptic behind and get to the point.

Yesterday, as I walked to the gym, I realised that I always avoid leg day. It’s the part I dislike the most (perhaps the curse of long, lanky 6ft 4” legs). So I adopted a mantra for myself: do the thing you like least first.

Upon returning home, I spent the remainder of Sunday making applications for funding, investment and accounting support. I also began looking for a business course focused on understanding finance. These are the parts I have always left to chance, and historically that has never served me particularly well.

A few people have commented recently that they love the raw honesty of these newsletters and how much they relate to the struggles behind the beauty.

Moving towards less esoteric themes, I received two extraordinary ingredients from Spain and Sweden: Cypress Wood and Birchwood. Oh, my. The purity of these oils simply begged for partnership with the skin.

Finally, I began sculpting the form of the new Jonathan Ward candle jar. I truly feel that this next chapter calls for a new website, a renewed identity and a clearer brand vision to fully come alive. And, if the universe is willing, it could all be ready by September.

Staying number one in the Jonathan Ward perfume stakes.
The centre stage ingredient of this creation is coumarin. Coumarin is derived from the French word ‘Coumarou’ from the Old Tupi word for its origin tree Kumarú.

I wanted to create another unisex aroma that captured a more modern spirit than Mink Opal. My zeal for my new technical capabilities (ungoverned by third-party technical support) continues and the result is honestly the most successful to date.

Art & Commerce
—
Ideas arrive, creation flows, product is born.
I am so blessed with the freedom of the artists mind. And also equipped with the reality check of being aware that a successful artistic endeavour requires more than the creativity arch.
Have a beautiful Tuesday everyone 🧡😊

Fear & Faith
—
First step to change is overcoming the fear of the unknown.
Started the sculpture process last night to “reshape” the Jonathan Ward candle jars.
I am working slower these days but more purposefully and with quiet assurance. In the past I was so driven to achieve goals quite swiftly but I’m definitely taking the pace that will embody significant change long term.
More candle, more shape, more me.

Thank you to everyone who ordered my new concepts “As Adam left Atlas” & “This Can’t be Love” giving me such inspiration and momentum 😊

And …. Ask ask ask. Ask, your retailer how much alcohol is really in your Reed Diffuser as they are not obligated to list the ratio (you could be buying a sixty pound product that lasts a month) …
Mine have zero alcohol so I might never be rich but I’ll be honest.
