Ancient ritual · Modern alchemy
Simmone La Corte was raised on the island of Kauai, where a deep connection to nature began early — winding flowers into leis and gathering wild fruit from the land. Plants were not just part of her environment, but part of her language.
Her path has taken her across the world in pursuit of healing, beauty, and ritual. She studied Tibetan medicine and herbalism in Dharamsala under the lineage of the Dalai Lama's physician, and spent years immersed in meditation and yoga practices in India. In Europe, she lived in Germany where she ran a café, developing a refined sensibility for flavor, composition, and experience.
Returning to California, Simmone studied natural perfumery in Berkeley, deepening her understanding of plant essences and olfactory artistry. These diverse experiences now converge in her work.
Simmone creates bespoke botanical perfumes and anointing oils that are both sensorial and ceremonial. Each blend is crafted from pure plant essences and infused over hours with meditation, prayer, and chant — designed to evoke memory, restore balance, and support personal ritual.
Her work lives at the intersection of nature, scent, and spirit — an invitation to return to harmony through the subtle power of plants.

Each blend is crafted from pure plant essences and infused over hours with meditation, prayer, and chant — designed to evoke memory, restore balance, and support personal ritual.
Each blend opens in stillness, aligned with breath and presence.
Intentions are spoken aloud and woven into every drop during the infusion.
Sacred mantras and Tibetan prayers resonate through the oil as it rests.
Begin in a quiet space. Take three slow breaths and set a clear intention for your practice.
Place a few drops between your palms. Rub gently and cup your hands over your nose. Breathe deeply and allow the scent to open.
Apply to pulse points — wrists, heart center, the nape of the neck. Move slowly. Each point is a doorway to the body's innate wisdom.
Let the scent become your anchor. Return to it throughout the day as a reminder of your intention — a subtle thread connecting you to your practice.
