Briar Winter is the founder of Marble & Milkweed, a perfumerie in New York that sells luxury scents crafted from organic plant essences. Garden Collage visited her studio for an inside chat about her all-natural fragrance line and the organic ingredients she cultivates to make them.
A tabletop assortment of healing items prominently features “healing crystals” quartz and kyanite. Proponents of crystal healing place the gems in water and leave them to sit, thereby releasing their minerals and energy into the water.
Winter’s studio is a cross between a chemistry lab and an apothecary.
The alignment of the planets, the phases of the moon, the changing seasons: all of these phenomena are integral to nature and natural healing.
From rose hip to marsh mallow, all flower extracts provide vitamins, minerals, and complex, unparalleled flavors that make them perfect for tea.
Winter develops all of her scents in-house, so fascinating flasks are constantly in sight.
The finished product, from plant to perfume.
