Right outside Laurie’s perfumery lies the enchanted world of the Perfumer’s Garden.  A glorious garden planted with all of the senses in mind, the Perfumer’s Garden is a scent-maker’s paradise.  Here is where Laurie plants, nurtures, and ultimately harvests the ingredients for her incredible infused alcohols and pristinely created flower essences, both of which can be found in every Velvet and Sweet Pea perfume. 

The Perfumer’s Garden is Laurie’s scented refuge, a piece of the natural world that provides her with inspiration and opportunities for meditation as she walks its fragrant pathways.  The garden is equally a laboratory, where Laurie experiments with aromatic plants from the traditional to the unexpected and invents some of the unique techniques that make Velvet and Sweet Pea’s perfumes truly remarkable. 

The magic of the Perfumer’s Garden is that it is in itself a kind of perfume – a blend of scents brewed by nature and steeped in the sun.  Velvet, Sweet Pea, and the other perfumery kitties certainly revel in the richly scented air, and visitors to the garden always remark (while taking long, deep breaths, of course!) on how good the air smells and feels.
