Michelle Pfeifferis getting candid about her fragrance.
“I didn’t know if it was possible to actually formulate one scent that could compete in the marketplace as a fine premium fragrance,” she told hostMolly Sims, adding, “Through this process of the perfumers constantly saying to me, ‘Where does this take you? Tell us, does it take you to a place?’ I realized what I was trying to formulate was my father’s cologne.”
Pfeiffer shared with Sims that it’s sometimes hard for her to find something she “really” loves, when it comes to fragrance, but when she does, she goes all in. And when she was developing what would eventually become Henry Rose, she kept finding herself drawn to the scents that evoked memories of her father.
“I didn’t know that’s what I was doing, and I didn’t know that was why I gravitated toward that particular category in fragrance is because it’s very emotional and you can always track it back to a really pleasant experience in your life,” she said.
Choosing the name for her fragrance was just as hard as settling on a scent profile, she shared.
“I kept thinking and reflecting on what feels organic and authentic to this brand. And I kept coming back to my kids. And so it’s their middle names, and so it’s Henry and Rose and you know, and it also reflected that it was a genderless brand, which was important.”
