Let the fragrances take you on a journey.

Hello there, I am a self-taught perfumer based in Seattle. Music, art, good design, nature, and all sorts of wonderful things are my inspirations for fragrances. I craft perfumes as the platform to share my vision of the world, creating scents based on the above mentioned amazing things and with my rich background and life experiences.

“I always draw into the story and inspiration behind fragrances. I find connections between me and the noses through wearing fragrances they created.”

Fragrances to me are wearable art pieces that we all use in our lives. All the Nose of Gatsby scents are created and bottled with the finest ingredients and love. All products are handmade by Gatsby and from Seattle.

What is Nose of Gatsby? There are a lot of great perfumers who use their imagination and creativity to turn a story into a scent. The word "nose" in the perfume industry, is used to describe perfumers.

Why Nose of Gatsby? In the world, many perfumes are soulless, and some just want to please everyone (which is impossible.) I want to create something unique, brave, and deep and have stories to tell.

If you read here, as I can tell, you love to read, and so do I. You will find a small whisper from us in each package.

Life is a wonderful playground. Allow yourself to smell good and feel good. Be kind and be true to yourself (and others.)
