About

Personalized Perfumes, Haute Tonics & Everyday Essences

I’m Kelly, Chief Perfumer and Scent Sommelier at Salud Scent Studio.  I’ve created this blog to celebrate everyday essences.  I recently read that Leonardo da Vinci quoted that the average person “looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, … and inhales without awareness of odor or fragrance.”   I hope my blog inspires you to enjoy the scents in our everyday lives. 

My online scent studio, Salud, has over 100 essences to mix and match and offers the opportunity to create a signature fragrance. Visit us at SaludSpaBar.comSalud… Spanish for “cheers!”… is our name because we celebrate a lighthearted, creative and fun approach to the concept of scents.  I have also spent time doing business in Mexico (from my previous life in corporate America), and Salud carries a meaning for me that takes me back to the friendships and business partners made there over wafting scents of sangria, fresh guacamole mixed in molcajetes, the salty sea air in the Yucatan, and spicy chocolate mole sauces offered in every consistency and earthy, nutty color.

Join me as I blog about my scent creations and the evolution of the Salud brand. What are your own everyday essences?

…Let’s blend some bliss!
