Organic Perfumer = Patterson Organics
Libby Patterson truly lives the life one would expect of an organic master perfumer. When she isn’t foraging for wild flowers on the coasts of California, she is custom blending perfumes for clients, or planting flowers in gardens. Patterson’s line is all natural and distilled in the mountains of Topanga. She has various scents that include Venom, Embrace and my favorite Abra Ca Da Bra which includes: bergamot, patchouli and amber. Libby is using the mystical powers of scent to manifest visions. Maybe a special gift for Valentines Day . . .
