Small-batch aromatic potions from the Oregon coast. Barrel-aged, tea-steeped,
freeze-concentrated, and wildcrafted using techniques from craft brewing and historical herbalism.
These aren't conventional perfumes. Expect variation.
Expect transformation. Expect something you can't find anywhere else.
Welcome to Jitterbug Perfumes, where each fragrance transcends mere scent—becoming a portal to memories, emotions, and vibrational experiences. Embark on a Magic Potion Trip to uncover your perfect essence, make your heart's desires known to The Wishing Beet, and explore our fragrant elixirs and magic potions.
Inspired by Tom Robbins' spellbinding novel, 'Jitterbug Perfume,' our bespoke pop-up perfumery blends art, science, and magic to craft olfactory masterpieces in exquisitely rare, niche collector batches.
After 25+ years in wonderfully creative pursuits like aromatherapy, herbology, biology, natural history, gardening and brewing, I bring fermentation science, barrel-aging, and botanical extraction techniques to perfumery.
The "Barreled, Smoked, Glassed, Iced & Wilds" collection represents what happens when you apply heritage, preservation and brewing methodology to scent: time-based processes that create something impossible to replicate in conventional perfumery.
At Jitterbug Perfumes, I believe that scent is more than a sensory delight; it’s a bridge between realms.
My mission is to craft personalized fragrances that resonate with your unique energy, evoke cherished memories, and transport you to other dimensions.
Whether you’re seeking healing, celebration, or introspection, my perfumes are your aromatic companions on life’s journey.
Jitterbug Perfumes: Niche Scents for the Contemporary CognoScenti
Every single bottle is unique, hand blended & one of a kind.
Just like sentient, living beings, no two bottles or fragrances will ever be exactly the same.
Dr. Luca Turin’s vibrational frequency theory inspires me to ponder: If smell is objective and based on vibration, how can we use certain scents to influence our energy and mood? We explore this intersection of science and mysticism, creating fragrances that harmonize with your vibrational needs. Imagine stepping into our atelier, where your aura is analyzed, and a bespoke scent is formulated—a quantum leap through scent itself.
I work with steam-distilled essential oils, botanical extracts, and select aromachemicals as building blocks—but what makes Jitterbug different is the process. These ingredients are then barrel-aged, tea-steeped, cold-infused, or macerated using techniques I learned from 20+ years interested in brewing. The result? Scents that evolve over time and vary slightly batch to batch, like small-run spirits or artisan teas.
Unlike conventional perfumery where ingredients are simply blended and bottled, these processes require time, transformation, and interaction with materials. Barrel-aging isn't instant. Eisbock freeze-concentration takes days. Tea-steeping requires patience. This means:
✨ Batch variation is expected (and desirable)—color, viscosity, and even subtle scent evolution are proof of real botanical work
✨ Small batches by necessity—these techniques don't scale to industrial production
✨ Longer lead times—many scents are finishing their aging cycles when you order
✨ Unique results—no two batches are identical, just like craft beer or small-batch spirits
