Maree, tell us about yourself. (This doesn’t need to be confined to what job you do – feel free to share anything that paints a picture of who you are and how you feel in this world).
I’m a Mum of two teens, I own a company that makes 100% natural skincare for teen skin called Evre. It is available nationwide at Farmers and online. When I am not working or being a Mum I love cooking, travelling and fashion.
What inspired you to attend a natural fragrance workshop?
I decided to attend when I was first developing my skincare range. I know how important fragrance is in a product and teenagers in particular love skincare to smell good. I had never worked with fragrance and fragrance houses before and I wanted to make sure I had the right language to describe what scents I wanted.
How would you describe the fragrance you designed with us?
It was floral but not too sweet – I absolutely loved it!
Did you discover any new fragrance ingredients that you particularly liked or disliked?
I have never been a fan of musk scents but discovered Vetiver and really loved that.
Did the workshop change the way you think about perfume or fragrance in general? If so, how?
Yes I didnt realised how complex it was and how important layering is when developing fragrance
Biggest insight or inspiration you took away from our workshop?
I think fragrance is so linked to our emotions and a beautiful scent can really take you back to a place and time. I was really inspired to create fragrances for my product range that would be youthful without being too juvenile.
What scent makes you nostalgic, and where, what or who does it connect you with?
Probably my first ever “real” perfume was YSL Paris when I was about 14 years old. I have loved floral based perfumes ever since.
At Perfume Playground, we’re big advocates of wellbeing. What’s your approach to wellbeing?
I think well-being needs to be part of everything you do – it is so important for your mental health. I am especially passionate about our teens learning basic well-being practices and Evre is very focused on promoting self-care. We also donate 2% of all sales to our charity partner Youthline. With so much tech to distract us these days, being present and mindful and appreciating the small things in life is so important – it has been a conscious thing though. I think scent really helps with this as it can centre us in the moment.
Anything else you would like to share with us that might inspire others (you could even tell us your life’s motto!)?
I think life is far too short, you need to make every moment count and treat life like one big adventure!
