What makes you anxious? How’s your relationship with Mom? Do you prefer coconut with a hint of basil or a blend of Tunisian opium and grapefruit?

Welcome to your first session with Yosh Han, owner and creative genius behind Signature Parfums by Yosh. Using the art of ancient perfumery, Yosh combines natural essences and fragrance oils to create scents that evoke the moods of their wearers. First, she conducts an interview. Questions on anything from travel memories to favorite hobbies to preferred electronics (Mac or PC?) are fair game.

Next, clients sniff more than 75 ingredients from her fragrance library, ranging from fruity pomegranate to exotic Siberian fir, and select those that spark an intuitive connection.

Finally, Yosh creates a distinctive formula, testing it on the sitter’s skin before sealing the elixir in a handmade glass flask from France.

Whether you seek an everyday scent or something for special occasions, Yosh will attend to your every known desire.

The subconscious ones, however, may require a different type of therapy.
