I’m slowly finding my way to the studio since having my baby ~11 weeks ago. I thought I’d have more to say about this massive moment in my life—matrescence being one of the greatest emotional, physiological, and hormonal shifts one can experience. Instead I find myself often at a loss of words, preferring to observe and feel my way through each day, each moment. Finding the beauty within the present moment has been a lifeline for me. I was captivated by these moments in the studio on Monday:

🌹 the dust of powdered organic rose petals left after straining the oil for our Full Moon Rose Body Oil
👥 the shadows of my studio plants silhouetted against my prop closet
🌼 the unexpected pop of color from these flowers I planted from pollinator seed packets from my baby shower, finally come into full bloom
🌸 crepe myrtle confetti—the most wonderful summer floral phenomenon!

It’s a gift to move slowly enough to notice and be moved by the life around me 💞

Summer is for skin! Our New Moon Cypress Body Oil is my forever fave for the summer—with a high concentration of nutrient-rich sea buckthorn oil it balances and soothes skin subjected to heat, sunburn, humidity, bug bites, and more! It doesn’t hurt that its grounding scent will make you feel like you’re bathing in a cool stream in the shade of a cypress grove 💦🌲🌙

A natural perfumer’s palette is as abundant and varied as nature itself. Sweet, savory, floral, vegetal, animalic, oceanic, herbal, funky, smooth, on and on. There’s no end to the excitement of ingredients derived from the botanical world, and I’m endlessly inspired ✨

In celebration of magnolia season, I’d like to reintroduce you to our Magnolia Soliflore 👋
🌟 crafted after years of scent studies and notes, this perfume captures the essence of magnolia flowers with notes of juniper berry, sandalwood, and pink lotus
🌟 A “Soliflore” is a class of perfume that mimics the scent of a single flower without actually using any ingredients derived from the flower it is mimicking. They’re such a fun way to explore a perfumer’s unique take on the natural world!
🌟 available as a 15 ml roll-on perfume or an a la carte sample. Proudly unisex and 100% natural as all our products are 💗

On April 11th our sweet velveteen daughter, Pearl, was born—adding to the incomparable magic & beauty that is Springtime in New Orleans! In this 1 week of all things new I will always associate this time with the scent of jasmine wafting through our open windows + her delicious newborn smell as we all find our footing in endless skin-to-skin cuddles ✨ I’m forever changed by this momentous experience and so in love with our Pearl 🥰
My amazing team is handling all things Smoke while I’m on leave. It’s business as usual, just less frequent Instagram posts for now 😉 thanks, as always, for your kind support 💖

My favorite way to welcome Spring is to open the windows and burn incense—Letting in the fresh air and bird song after the stagnation of winter and heat, while the smoke wafts out anything it needs to—such an energetic cleanse! Any aromatic plant will do, but we’re partial to our Night Cloud Incense 💜🌑☁️🌷

In these early Spring days, and as I reach the end of my pregnancy, I find myself turning to Wellspring as my 🌿💚✨ Luscious tropical notes of amber, cacao, ylang ylang, and violet leaf feel protective, soothing, and supportive. It’s a soft scent that brings me hope and earthy groundedness—qualities I hope to carry forward into this big next chapter I will soon face 🫶 this has always been a scent to connect us to our inner wellspring, our deepest reserves, and it’s sweet to explore that in a new way 💖

The last photos taken of me in my store 👉 the first photo of me taken in my store in Feb 2020 🥹 and some process pics of the early days, and some thoughts put into words that resonate 🥰
My entire working life, I’ve always done the most. I’ve overworked myself to the point of pain and injury, I’ve put myself last, said yes, taken zero days off. I bought into hustle culture and girl-bossed my way through burnout. Like so many of us, I’ve spent lots of my recent years unpacking and unwinding my productivity from my identity and self worth.
And this moment my life is not just asking me to slow down, but demanding it. Pregnancy has been mostly about creating space and slowing down. It feels so right to be authentically breaking my patterns around work these past 4+ years, and it’s new and uncomfortable at times. I’m letting my intuition guide me, and that feels sweet.
So while an old part of me would have found a way to do it all, like I’ve always done, this new part of me is gratefully releasing what doesn’t serve my creativity, joy, and ease, and taking things off my plate. I’m curious to see what emerges in this new space.
Our showroom is no more, but the wonderful folks at are still selling my core line of products, and I’m selling online and at select retail partners 🥰✨💕

Rose magic can help us with boundaries by keeping us soft yet strong and grounded into our thorns. Find the power of rose in our Rose Glycerite and the Full Moon Rose Body Oil.

This full moon reminding me that it’s a gift to feel, it’s a gift to be sensitive, it’s a gift to let go, to release, it’s a gift to be a deeply feeling person in a deeply flawed world (even though it doesn’t always feel like one!) The full moon is tomorrow, but very much feeling its energy now. Hope you get some space to move and clear energy, to breathe through whatever is coming up, and to rest in the reminder that it’s all 🌀 temporary 🌀

I’ve always wanted to experience Mardi Gras pregnant, and was excited going into this sacred time at such a major crossroads in my life! Costuming is a huge part of my Mardi Gras expression, and I knew I wanted to incorporate a plaster belly cast—which reminded me of the Venus De Milo statue, and then took on a pearlescent vibe, which then felt bridal, which reminded my of the Mary Oliver line from her poem “When Death Comes.”
Experiencing Mardi Gras pregnant was a master class in feeling my feelings, recognizing and honoring my needs and limits, asking for help and leaning on the abundant support of my partner, community, and strangers. It was a gift to go through this portal sober, the entire experience shimmering in deep presence and emotion. Mardi Gras is about joy, and also grief, and I do feel I integrated and grew around some grief I have been carrying, especially as it relates to the new chapter of parenthood and welcoming our baby soon. I felt royal and powerful dancing my baby through the day 🤍
I am endlessly grateful for this most sacred city and ritual we all get to weave together annually 🤍 I hope you all had a beautiful one, too 💖

Night Cloud is an ode to the more feral aspects of New Orleans. The deep nights, or Deep Gras, the endless traversing, the community, dancing, sweat, humidity, the chasing to dawn, the thick air, the possibility and release. IYKYK 😉
Notes of oakmoss, lavender, allspice. A heavy base, and a richness. There’s a reason we’ve been reaching for this one the most this carnival season 🎭🕳️💜

Magnolia Soliflore is our take on the iconic magnolia flower. Notes of juniper berry, sandalwood, and pink lotus offer a creamy floral with a bit of soil from the grove. In true Smoke Perfume fashion this scent is neither too sweet/floral or too musky—just the right unisex hit🌸💧🌳
Considering magnolias are one of the oldest living flowers dating back 95 million years, I wonder how many artistic interpretations have arisen over millennia?!

I have mothered and nurtured so many things in my life: Smoke Perfume, clients, relationships, myself, multiple businesses. For years now, the desire to mother a child has grown, and I’m grateful (and all the normal complicated feelings in between) for the opportunity to do so, and so soon!

Last year was deeply introspective as I’ve spent the last nearly 7 months welcoming and growing life, and some time before that working towards this. This year feels brand new with possibility, as I continue to step towards an entirely new life experience. How many times in our life do we really get such an opportunity?!

I’m still unsure of the details and logistics of my leave, but I feel flexible and open to the path unfolding in front of me. And don’t worry, Smoke isn’t going anywhere 😘 Thanks for sharing my personal news with me 🥰♈️👶💗
