About us

Welcome to our sensual world of aromatic alchemy.

Intuitive Essence is an apothecary dedicated to embodiment through olfactory art. We blend together threads of myth, astrology, perfumery, and herbalism to form inspiring aromatic landscapes that allow the wearer to imprint intention into their scented aura.
We are enamored with the way all life is connected. We see it in how the sense of smell so acutely evokes feelings, how our feelings call forth memories, and how memories forge meaning in our lives. Through this sensory awareness, presence becomes more readily available.

My name is Audrey, and I am the Fragrance Artist and Scentress behind Intuitive Essence. My exploration in perfumery and aromatherapy began 11 years ago when I apprenticed under a Master perfumer and professor in Chicago, Illinois. I worked at his parfumerie for six years.
In the 11 years I have studied and worked in this art form, my relationship to the world of aromatics have been a catalyst for me. Healing myself, connecting to the cosmos through Astro herbalism, and sharing meaningful ideas and concepts with community are just some of the benefits of my work. The medium of scent has carried me through so much expansion as a human.
As far as my ingredients go, I choose to utilize the highest quality, therapeutic grade essential oils and fine fragrance oils I can find. For my seasonal products, I distill and infuse from my own garden.

A perk of having a mentor with 40+ years experience in the industry has been nothing short of luck, as he has shown me a lot of what is shrouded in secrecy in the world of perfumery.
In short, Intuitive Essence is a scented love letter, with a dedication to high quality ingredients, local collaboration, and the healing arts, crafting sensory tools to inspire your truest expression of confidence on your path.
