In order to begin, It's important to ensure the work area is clean and free of any unnecessary clutter or debris. Here, sweeping the floor provides an opportunity to methodically move through the space while setting intentions for the next step. http://www.hendleyperfumes.com

Set up an appropriate work surface, ensuring its stability. Lay out on the surface only the specific tools and materials needed to complete the task at hand, nothing more. The tools are organized on the surface in such a way that each item can been clearly seen and reached as needed.

Precisely weigh and combine the raw materials as prescribed by the formula. Follow the formula - it has already been finalized through months of experiments and revisions. No improvisation at this step, focus and concentration are key.

It usually takes several steps to fully clean glassware and mixing tools, so starting this process right away is recommended. This is also a nice time to dip a blotter and smell what has just been blended, but keep in mind the perfume concentrate must mature for several weeks before any further steps can be made.

Hendley Perfumes is an independent, artisan perfume practice founded in 2014. Each batch of perfume is meticulously formulated, blended, bottled, labeled & shipped by Hans Hendley.

“I get the same feeling when I try on a great pair of headphones, a sensation of magical ease and comfort that makes me want to turn the volume up. Audiophiles will know what I mean. Hendley fragrances are not striving to shock and bewilder. They focus instead on being as pleasurable as possible.” –Luca Turin

“The olfactory landscape of Hans Hendley is that of luminescent hinterland: edges, lines, washed walls, torn metal sheeting and sun drenched roadways burnt around the carefully balanced edges. His flowers are sunlit in vintage opalescent glass. Gardens are overgrown, closed in and secretive, tucked away behind graffiti-tagged fences. The mix of urbanity and wilderness dream is beguiling and partly real, an echo of Hans’ wandering childhood and his present roaming of New York’s looming urban enormity.” –The Silver Fox

“Rarely do I come across a perfume house that I love so much that I instantly want to buy every single one of their fragrances. Usually there’s one or maybe two scents that are the standouts and which act as bookmarks for my nose for that particular line. But to achieve a level of confidence across an entire house, especially for a new artist, is almost impossible. But perfumer Hans Hendley has done it. The perfumes are bold, rich, supple offerings which represent their individual styles in unforgettable ways.” –Steve Johnson for ÇaFleureBon

“Hans Hendley is one of the most thoughtful and pleasing indieperfumers out there. Hand made, small batch, lovely materials, simple and elegant presentation.” –Lucy Raubertas for Indieperfumes
