GET TO KNOW US

MICHAEL

Hitchhiker, mathematician, social worker, educator, dreamer, perfumer.  Michael fell in love with the art of perfumery after hitchhiking in 1989 to the West Coast.  There, he met some folks who were using essential oils to increase spiritual self understanding and to develop bardo skills.  The first time he tried a little bit of frankincense on his wrists he experienced dramatic perceptual changes.  Sometime soon afterward, Michael decided to become a perfumer, but in a completely non-conventional manner.  As the reality of this immense decision began to sink in, he had one of those huge belly laughs that only happen when everything is perfect. Michael has his own wheels now, but prefers cross-country skiing or canoeing in Canada’s remote wilderness.

NAHLA MOON

Nahla is one of Brittany's dearest friends, so lucky for us she came to join the family. She is an intuitive creator at heart, a weaver of words, crafter of melodies, dancer in the dusk and a painter from the eyes of love. Nahla spends all of her free time creating and aspiring to inspire as many souls to do the same. She has been with us since October 2020 and has continued to bring her magik to La Parfumerie everyday since. She has taken the torch with honour and pride in managing the shop, production, glass blowing and is now offering her services in custom blending! Outside of La Parfumerie Nahla performs live acoustic music at festivals & events around Winnipeg. She also runs her own business Nahla Moon Art, sharing her creations to heal through her love of nature, mysticism & the universe.
