SMB Alchemy

Shavonna Bent founded SMB Alchemy after finishing her PhD in Chemical Oceanography, as a way to combine her passion for science with a love of art & creativity. Botanical perfumery filled that niche: exploration of natural materials, their relationships with each other, how each molecule reacts & diffuses, and the ways in which scent can transport you to a specific place & time in your memory. Shavonna particularly enjoys blending custom perfumes, helping you find your unique signature scent that is specific to your scent palette and works best with your individual skin chemistry. When she's not in the lab blending, you can find Shavonna curled up with a good book, making whimsical polymer clay earrings, or exploring nature in search of new scents.
