Depending on where you go, nature under one sun varies greatly and so do different cultures. But whether it is a ocean, mountain, lake or river, the culture borne out of lineage between people and nature has some kind of consistency. I am moved by nature, but also by people.

Why has fragrance become this weird specialized thing that they have at perfume counters? Fragrance has always been about using animal senses. Romans used to infuse plants and the oil and make these things like taro cakes with Mediterranean plants like rosemary and lavender. And they’d wear them on their heads, and they would melt over the body throughout the day. Fragrance has always been about wearing nature on our bodies, and I'm trying to take fragrance back to its wild roots.

Everybody has a phone that takes pictures and digital cameras. So in a way it’s like “Oh, it’s easy, everyone is a photographer.” But that is not true. You’re a picture taker. There is more to the photography than taking a picture. There is, “What do you say with what you’re taking?”. Taking pictures is just the half of it.

I think because selling drugs is illegal dealers are secretive, but a person still feels a need to be understood and to express himself in the way that an artist feels compelled to create something.

Nature in itself is perfect—the ecosystems, the things that have evolved—it’s harmonious, and everything works together. Why try to develop some Gore-Tex coating that does this when you can get a wool that is hydrophilic, that has all these microscopic properties that have evolved for years to keep people climate-controlled?

Religion for me is very similar to art, the impulse to create comes from deep within people. The passion that some direct towards religion, others direct towards art.
