Exquisite Perfumes from Nature

"By smell we perceive the soul of things." - Lucretius

Conceptual, complex natural fragrances that unfold on your skin, telling stories of landscapes, memories, exotic lands, or familiar seasons. Each botanical perfume is expertly composed in small batches using only the finest, authentic plant aromatics from around the world, carefully gathered from the wild, or organically grown in the home garden.
Olfactory art, plant alchemy, and human experience.

GET TO KNOW US

INVENTORY / HOW GATHER WORKS

Welcome!
A warm invitation to the many of you who are recently arriving to Gather. As a new guest, you may be wondering why there are so many perfumes 'out of stock'.

Natural Perfumery is analogous to
wine. It's a slow art dependent on agriculture, world trade climates, processing of raw materials, creative processes, aging, and the whims of nature for foraging. If something you hope for is OOS, I keep a running list of what customers are most hoping will return. Drop me an email if there's something you'd like me to add.
All of my perfumes are microbatches, and depending on the aforementioned considerations, a perfume may or may not return. This is just a living breathing part of natural perfumery. It cannot be compared to factory generated fragrances. If you prefer replicable consistency for a lifetime signature fragrance, Gather may not be the house for you.

Thank you for loving the olfactory arts!

"This might be the most beautiful perfume I've ever smelled! It is loved by everyone who tried it. Not too dark, not too sweet, just everything in its right place. I can't pick out any one note, but all the ingredients work beautifully together. Definitely need to pick up a larger size!"

This perfume is perhaps the most delicate I have ever had the pleasure of smelling before. It is quite subtle but the subtlety strangely suits it all the more. Perhaps it is in the name. The words "rainwater" and "rose" have completely captured the essence of this perfume. It brings to mind a lonely rain drop dripping off a blushing pink rose petal as thunder rolls softly in the distance. For a plus, the packaging was absolutely perfect. You wouldn't dream of throwing any of it away but would rather keep them as little treasures.

I have been searching for a scent like this for years. I never wear perfume because I can never find something that doesn't overpower me or give me a headache. I put this on right after opening the package and the scent lasted all day. It felt so good to have a piece of nature with me while I sat indoors at a desk all day. Ananda is amazing at what she does. She bottles pure magic.
