Tell us about yourself!
Honestly, a pretty normal life! I work 9 to 5 as an email marketer at an international company that makes industrial equipment, very corporate, very far from perfume haha. Outside of that I'm learning Chinese once a week, I draw comics and I take eating well extremely seriously 😋 So perfume is the fun parallel universe I escape into.
How did your relationship with perfume begin?
During lockdown, by accident. I stumbled on a blogger talking about chypres and I understood almost nothing, but something about it pulled me in and I just kept digging. That was a really hard period for me in every sense and perfume honestly kept me from sinking into a darker place. It became, and still is, the coziest little world I can always come back to.
Why "Tomato Tales"?
Because even something as ordinary as a tomato note can tell you a whole story! That's the whole idea, there's a tale hiding in the most unexpected places.
First scent memory?
Bedsheets that had been drying outside in winter. They'd freeze out there like little mummies and when you brought them back in they were stiff with this icy crust and smelled completely of frost. I still think about it. And on the perfume side, my mum's Flower by Kenzo and Turbulences by Revillon, the cold-laundry smell and those two are basically my origin story.
