STORY TIME
Passion for the finest quality artisanal niche fragrances combined with the inspiration that comes throughout the journey of life, has sparked the creation of a truly unique line of fragrances focused on using raw natural materials, sparing no expense to source only the best from around the world, as well as finding lovely smelling materials in nature to use in fragrances (that is skunk cabbage in the picture above). The fine craftsmanship of TSVGA at times is a family effort. This brand has created activities for us to do together from foraging in the woods, to creating handmade presentations. I had a fantastic childhood spending my summers on Long Lake in Maine at Vicki Lin campground (the inspiration behind my campfire fragrance titled “Vicki Lin”). The smell of campfire became my favorite smell from a young age because of this place, so now when I visit, this muse manifests through TSVGA projects I create while I am there. It also serves as a place that removes me from being able to work on fragrance and instead, wear everything that I have been working on and really get the time to take notes and finalize them. The parents had no idea the extent of my interest in this hobby until I launched a brand and they discovered I was a reviewer on YouTube with a collection of 200+ bottles.
