Mauricio Garcia is a Bay Area animistic perfumer, aroma therapist, witch, founder of Herbcraft Perfumery, co-founder of the mountain butterfly collective, and co-founder of the coalition of sustainable perfumery. He's also the perfumer we've been working with for Planets Perfumery, our fragrance line inspired by the archetypal essences of the planets, set to be released May 22!

Mauricio is an olfactive creative genius, and we can't wait for you all to meet him and be as inspired as we are. Our conversation covers everything from a deep dive into his natal chart, to sustainability in perfumery, to mythology across cultures, to his background in herbalism and perfumery, his ritualistic approach to fragrance, and so much more.
