OUR PHILOSOPHY

The more you smell your intentional scent, the more you make it a powerful scent memory — one that shifts mood, sharpens focus, and quietly rewrites what's possible.

— Shevah Pinkus, Founder & Aroma Artist

The Power of Scent

Six ways aroma quietly rewrites the self.

Every fragrance we blend is engineered to move something in you — a mood, a memory, an identity, a decision.

Shift your mood

A single inhale interrupts a spiral.

02

Change your behavior

Anchor a habit to a scent and it holds.

03

Override sabotage

Return to your intention, on cue.

04

Enhance learning

Scent-tagged information sticks.

05

Create wonder

Turn an ordinary room into an event.

06

Form identity

Become recognizable before you speak.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Perfuming Intentions located?

Our private fragrance studio and showroom are located at 743 Spirit 40 Park Drive, Suites 221–222, Chesterfield, MO 63005, near Spirit of St. Louis Airport and Chesterfield Airport Road.

Can I stop by the studio?

Yes, but please call first. Our schedule revolves around private appointments and events, so hours vary. We’re generally available Monday through Friday from 10 AM–3 PM, with evening and weekend appointments available by request.

I’m scent-sensitive. Can I still enjoy a fragrance experience?

Yes. Shevah is scent-sensitive herself, so safety and sensitivity is considered throughout the experience. We can avoid ingredients that commonly bother sensitive clients, create specialized formulations, and explore ways to enjoy fragrance without applying it directly to your skin. Let us know about your sensitivities before your appointment so we can personalize your experience.

Do you create 100% natural fragrances?

Yes. We can create an entirely natural fragrance using botanical ingredients such as essential oils, absolutes, extracts, tinctures, and naturally derived materials. We also consider sustainability when selecting ingredients. Sometimes a naturally derived isolate can beautifully capture an aroma while being more environmentally or geo-politically sustainable and responsible.

Why does my fragrance smell different after a few weeks?

Because your fragrance is still evolving. When a scent is first created, the aromatic molecules are meeting for the first time. Over the next several weeks, they blend, settle, and mature through a process called maceration. Most fragrances begin revealing their true character after about four weeks, and some continue evolving for months.

What if I decide I don’t love the fragrance I created?

Tell us. Fragrance can change over time, and so can you. Hormones, health, environment, and major life changes can all affect how a scent smells and feels to you. Shevah stands behind her custom work. If you can describe what isn’t working, she can help determine how to adjust it.

Do you work with children and older adults?

Yes. Fragrance experiences can be adapted for children, older adults, scent-sensitive individuals, and people who need a gentler sensory experience. Shevah also offers sensory and memory-based aroma experiences for assisted living communities in collaboration with thescentgurugroup.com

Do you teach perfumery?

Yes. Private perfumery lessons are available for both children and adults. For younger students, fragrance becomes a hands-on way to explore art, math, science, chemistry, and measurement. Shevah spent 20 years as an art educator and loves helping students discover how these subjects come alive when they're creating something real. For adults she provides consultations, coaching and testing. Adult and Children Fees are $97 per hour not including take home products.

Do you offer wholesale products?

Yes. Select Perfuming Intentions products are available for boutiques, online stores, and collectives. Contact us with the products you’re interested in and approximately how many you’d like to carry, and we’ll provide wholesale information.

Do you offer internships, apprenticeships, or event opportunities?

Yes. Perfuming Intentions periodically offers internships and apprenticeships and trains auxiliary team members to assist with aroma readings, fragrance bars, and special events. Contact us to learn about current opportunities.

What makes Perfuming Intentions different?

This isn’t simply choosing a fragrance from a shelf. Shevah combines perfumery, botanical knowledge, art, wellness, education, and storytelling to create experiences built around the person, memory, relationship, or moment behind each aromatic note. Because sometimes scent can say what words simply can't.
