“I have been a huge fan of GEM&BOLT Mezcal for some time now and am grateful for their involvement tonight,” said Roux Saint James Founder Krista Lacey. “Overall, I feel the brand compliments Roux Saint James in its ability to fuse tradition, artistry and a little bit of medicinal magic. The fact that they infuse Damiana, an herb that has a reputation as an aphrodisiac, but also is known to enhance psychic abilities, as well as bring luck and love in some circles of belief, is fascinating to me. Adding to our theme tonight, I personally concocted a fruit infused water and a special ‘Culinary Spritz’ made of green cognac, vanilla and blood orange that will be used to perfume the bread pudding provided by One Love Specialty Food. It is going to be a very special evening!”
Roux Saint James has been producing small-batch, all natural, intention-based botanical compounds and perfumes since 2011. Their products beautifully blend the art of high perfumery and aromatherapy using essential oils that revitalize the connection between scent and the sacred. Master perfumer and Roux Saint James Founder Krista Lacey is truly one of a kind in the sense that there are only 1,000-1,200 perfumers like her worldwide. As a self-taught perfumer and craftswoman of essential oils, she looks for distinct scents and compounds in nature that call to her senses and then uses them to create aromatic, enticing unisex perfumes. This coming year, she will also be announcing the release of a new line of botanical incense and will be adding some architecturally inspired incense burners and vessels to compliment the products.
“Scent is all around us, whether we recognize it or not,” says Lacey. “It can be pleasant or foul, just like our daily activities. So many of our memories are not only based on our sense of smell but are wildly triggered by scent. The idea of creating something that can have a direct effect on the human spirit fascinates me, since most memories evoke emotions of some kind. So why not create something that can make people feel better and have pleasant, loving memories? Scent has the ability to transform us. It sets a tone for the day. It can soothe, energize, center and heal. It can remind us to take time, reflect on ourselves, enjoy the moment.”
