How did you start out in the world of perfumery?
I learned the art of blending from my grandmother when I was a teenager. Once I had the talent, I collaborated with Tom Ford, creating the Arabian Wood blend for his collection. After the success of Arabian Wood, I decided to start my own business, The Fragrance Kitchen. This is the first fragrance innovation that I have spearheaded.
