I’ve loved perfume for as long as I can remember. My mum's bottles shimmered like jewels - each one transforming her in ways I couldn’t yet name. The shift in mood and the alchemy I saw in her, pre and post perfume-spritz, became my earliest fascination.

As I grew up, I began collecting perfumes of my own - one from every city I visited, each becoming a memory of who I was in that place.

I became fascinated not just by how fragrance recalls the past, but how it shapes the present. You become what you wear; scent has the power to write identity.

Over time, my curiosity deepened into a personal practice. I learned perfumery through experimentation and immersion, studying the work of great perfumers past and present, and exploring how natural materials reveal colour and their own sensuality. I sought out the most beautiful ingredients I could find: Turkish rose, Italian orris butter, Madagascar Vanilla, the finest of each variety I could find.

Gaetana grew from that devotion. I work only with materials of true olfactory beauty and each perfume I make is an ode to that beauty: luxurious, intimate, and alive.

My purpose for Gaetana is so that when you wear it, the beauty of the flowers becomes your own.

At Gaetana, we look far and wide for the finest, most beautiful natural ingredients. Our commitment to sustainability means that we also ensure that our ingredients are harvested through responsible farming methods. If a plant is endangered, we will not use it; we will not use the synthetic alternative, either. Each perfume is hand-blended in organic sugarcane alcohol bottled in-house at our studio at the foot of the North Shore mountains in British Columbia. We hope you love your perfume, and we can't wait to hear from you.
