A perfume thatbegins with you.
This is commissioned perfumery, not a make-your-own workshop. I develop an original fragrance around your memories, preferences and the way you want it to wear—from the first brief to the final bottle.
Bespoke Scent Portrait €395, including one final 30 ml EDP bottle within the standard scope.
Physical commissions are currently delivered within the Republic of Ireland. International enquiries and video consultations are welcome; overseas scent-trial and perfume delivery must be confirmed before booking.
The work is in the detail
Your memories guide the direction. Materials, trials and time turn that direction into a perfume that can live on skin.
How it works
The Consultation
We spend time together talking about your life, your memories, what you wear, and what you want your scent to say. This is where your perfume begins.
The Formula
I build your formula by hand in my Kerry studio. I test, refine, and adjust until it feels right. This takes time — that’s the point.
Your Perfume
Your finished perfume is blended, bottled, and presented. Your formula is archived so a future bottle can be prepared, provided the required materials remain available.
What's included
- —Private consultation and personal scent direction
- —Formula development with sample vials posted for skin testing
- —Refinement rounds included in your chosen service
- —Final EDP bottle in your chosen size
- —Your formula archived for future bottle orders
"I started Avilés because I believe a perfume should be yours in the truest sense — not just a bottle you chose from a shelf, but something that wouldn't exist without you. That's what this process is. Slow, personal, and made entirely around who you are."
