The Essence of She Who Dares
She Who Dares began as an idea for something simple — a soft, dewy floral to complete the San Juan Collection. I envisioned quiet summer mornings on the island. The air was damp and sweet, while the world still felt half asleep.
However, as I immersed myself in the scent, I realized it carried something more. Its softness wasn’t merely about petals and dew; it embodied the courage it takes to show up for yourself when the world demands you to be everything for everyone else.
And so, She Who Dares was born.
A Fragrance for the Bold
This fragrance is crafted for women who give endlessly yet dare to claim a moment of beauty, rest, and presence for themselves. It leans into island-inspired florals, evoking the feeling of a fresh summer day with nowhere to be. Feminine, sensual, and soft, it is decidedly femme. Not because unisex fragrance isn’t beautiful in its own right, but because I wanted to create something that felt like a love letter to women, like me, who often forget to love themselves first.
The Journey of Creation
Creating this fragrance was a journey. Each note was chosen with care, reflecting the tranquil essence of the San Juan Islands. I wanted to capture the spirit of the islands in a bottle. The soft floral notes blend seamlessly with hints of warmth and depth, creating a scent that feels both comforting and empowering.
Embracing Self-Care
My hope? She Who Dares serves as a daily reminder that putting your own needs first isn’t selfish — it’s strength. It’s how we reconnect with our potential, our creativity, and our true selves. This fragrance encourages you to embrace self-care as an essential part of your daily ritual.
A Gentle Reminder
That’s what I hope this fragrance brings you. A gentle, powerful reminder that you are worthy of your own care, your own presence, your own beauty.
