What This Means in Practice
Conversation
We encourage dialogue — between you and your memories, between guests in our workshops, between readers in our community.
Craft at Human Scale
Small batches, intimate classes, and founder‑led guidance keep us close to the materials and to you.
Language as a Tool
Building a vocabulary around scent empowers you to truly know what you’re smelling. Words unlock perfume. Perfume unlocks stories.
Memory & Place
We believe scent can transport, whether to a childhood garden, a Bordeaux vineyard at harvest, or a winter evening by the fire.
Made to Order, When it Matters

Mission
At LVEN, we help you understand how scent, intimately tied to memory, can transport you to a place of quiet contentment, back to a thrilling encounter, or into a childhood memory.
Values
We embrace the raw materials. We aren't constrained by market trends. We love the peculiar, the surprising, the black sheep, the unruly.
We embrace the raw, the real, the well-made. Every perfume is created with care, tradition, and a little rebellion.
We embrace open conversation about the mechanics of making perfume. We honor deep dives into olfaction and we invite curiosity and questions and exploration and a healthy dose of story-telling.
Sometimes perfume evokes a spring garden, steeped in the bitter green that suffuses buds before they bloom.
Sometimes it suggests the crisp, bright chill of winter snow, set against the sweet warmth of a log fire.
Perfume tells stories, and LVEN is devoted to unlocking those narratives.
