What is a Subtle Scent?
A subtle scent is a fragrance characterized by its soft, understated aroma that gently lingers without overwhelming the senses. It typically features light, clean notes such as citrus, soft florals, or mild woods, designed to create a discreet and pleasant olfactory presence. Subtle scents are ideal for individuals who prefer a minimalistic fragrance approach, suitable for close encounters and professional settings. They provide a hint of personalization and sophistication without dominating the space around the wearer.
How Do I Choose My Signature Scent?
To start your fragrance journey and discover your new signature scent you will embark on an individual and personal experience that will involve experimenting with different scents to find the one that resonates with your personality, style, chemistry, and the memories or emotions you wish to evoke. To help you with this process I have created a Fragrance Guide and Perfume Quiz that you can explore to help you find your new signature scent.
Are You a Minimalist?
Minimalist style, whether in fashion or interior design, emphasizes simplicity, clean lines, and a monochromatic palette with strategic use of textures and color accents. This style is rooted in the idea of "less is more," focusing on the essentials to create a serene and uncluttered space. In interior design, it translates into minimal furniture and decor, where each piece is chosen with purpose and has a place. The emphasis is on open spaces, functional items, and a neutral color scheme that promotes calmness and relaxation. In fashion, minimalist style is characterized by streamlined silhouettes, a restrained color palette, and a focus on quality and functionality over quantity. This approach not only highlights the wearer's personality but also promotes sustainability through timeless pieces that defy fast fashion trends. Minimalism, thus, is not just an aesthetic choice but a lifestyle, advocating for a clutter-free, harmonious environment that enhances well-being and contentment.
For the minimalist who cherishes a connection to the natural world and values simplicity in every aspect of life, these minimalistic fragrances are more than mere subtle scents—they are an extension of your personal ethos.

GEMSTONE PROPERTIES: Keep this powerful stone close by to gain the clarity to lead you forward, release the negativity holding you back, and discover the path that leads to wisdom.
My Topaz gemstone-inspired perfume oil brings a luminous quality to your daily routine, reminiscent of the stone’s clarity and the warmth of sunlight. This scent is characterized by a vibrant mix of fruity notes such as mango and papaya, balanced with the depth of white opium and several different vanillas. Together they offer a warm embrace, perfect for the minimalist looking to add a subtle yet intoxicating element to their presence.
TOPAZ - In Sanskrit, the word topaz means "fire". Inspired by those vibrant, sunset-hued jewels that were a favorite of Russia's Czarinas, this deeply warm and spicy fragrance begins with an incendiary, inviting top note accord of Mango, Papaya and Rosewood. These ignite a sumptuous, alluring fusion of five Vanillas from around the world with White Opium, Amber, Arabian Sandalwood, Oakmoss and Smoky Musk. A truly celebratory fragrance, Topaz adorns the wearer much like its namesake stone once graced noble beauties with dazzling, regal splendor.
Five Star Review
“Topaz is my favorite scent of all time. It blends with my soul. I don’t feel scented from the outside more like my own essence emerges. I just love it. And I get so many compliments on it - especially when someone is extra close. On top of that, Sage, her staff and their service are all tops. So wonderful to be able to say thank you and bravo! I smile every time I roll on my Topaz.”-Bari

CLEAR QUARTZ GEMSTONE PROPERTIES: Known as a "master healer", cleansing negative energy of all kinds. It revitalizes and brings the body into balance.
For those who equate minimalism with sophistication, my Diamond-inspired perfume is the epitome of refined luxury. This subtle scent combines the richness of White Amber and Indian Sandalwood with the depth of musky undertones, accented with a hint of floral for a complex, yet understated irresistible profile. Like the multifaceted gemstone it's inspired by, my diamond scent is both timeless and modern, adding a layer of polished elegance to the minimalist's simplistic persona.
DIAMOND- The strongest substance known to man - known for clarity, resilience, and exquisite timeless beauty. Sage had waited for over a decade to approach this most iconic stone and translate into scent - waiting for the right materials, the right moment. And finally, it has come - the scent itself is shimmering and clear, acting as its namesake to conduct both light and heat, and reflect the wearers true beauty.
A Glowing Review
"One of the sweetest, most satisfying things about this perfume is how it clings to fabrics, and every time my nose is near the collar and cuffs of my favorite sweater, that fresh expansiveness returns. It's not the same living, warm scent as it is on skin, it's the scent of frozen time. Memories on ice with a twist. Diamond is the perfect fragrance for Spring. The feeling of limitless space, perpetual movement, endless possibilities and all the fresh air you can drink in." - Caroline S.
