Elspeth's Airs

Offering natural perfumes and aromatherapy products. They blend with the wearer’s skin and unfold over time.

Elspeth’s Airs perfumes weave together the scents, healing properties and energetics of natural plant materials to create fragrant touchstones intended to help us remember- a feeling, an intention, who we are. Like the air carries smell, seeds, ideas and energy; as it has the power to cut through the fog or gently caress your skin, may these fragrances envelope you, inspire you, seduce you, protect you and empower you. Like the ancestor that they are named for, may they carry on through your memory to reconnect you with deeper truths. Handcrafted in small batches with all natural ingredients, Elspeth’s Airs scents are more intimate and subtle than commercial fragrances.

Long time, no post. It’s that time of year again. Tomorrow marks 20 years since the levee failure and man-made disaster following Hurricane Katrina. I’ve been feeling pretty blah about it and haven’t really wanted to go there emotionally, but it’s inevitable and my body feels it more & more the closer it gets. However, I am excited to share that I’ll be doing an essential oil demonstration at the Red Tent event from 12-1 through at Armstrong Park. It feels poignant and full circle to be sharing about the ways aromatherapy can support us through the hard emotions that may come up at this time of year. We’ll be giving out a limited number of aromatherapy inhalers and rose water. Stop by if you feel called and I hope everyone for whom this is a difficult day feels held and supported.

🎉 Exciting collaboration announcement! 🎉

Over the past year, I’ve worked with to create a custom perfume in honor of their 50th anniversary. It’s now officially available at their stores! Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Created in collaboration with local New Orleans perfumer Justine from Elspeth’s Airs, the Legacy Parfum has officially launched alongside the blooming Jasmine lining our streets!

Perfect for the changing seasons of Spring to summer, stand out with our custom scent with notes of Jasmine, Cedarwood and Sandalwood.

Collaborating with a local, female perfumer to create our very own signature scent has been such a special process and stays true to our mission of amplifying female voices and collaborating together to create something as unique as our brand and city.

Legacy Parfum is available for purchase only at our Lakeside and 3801 Magazine Street Galleries.

Justine will be hosting a special sampling this Saturday, May 10th during Champagne Stroll from 6pm-9pm at our Magazine Street Gallery! We hope to see you there!”

Welcome, Spring!

May what you’ve been growing beneath the surface begin to emerge. May we feel renewed in our efforts and fortified by the tenacity of nature.

I’ve been in deep hibernation mode and while it’s been insightful and nourishing, I welcome the quickening pulse of Spring.

The plants of early Spring are some of my favorites. In New Orleans, the last of the Sweet Olive scents the air as citrus blossoms begin to open.

Cleansing herbs like Cleavers and Chickweed have been paving the way, flower buds are opening, Oak & Cypress leaves are growing back. Azaleas herald the season shift in shades of bright fuchsia, light pink, and white.

What plants and smells signal Spring to you?

*Scroll for a recreation of the actual noise I made when I saw how much my paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) had grown.

First Spring Market! Sunday from 12-5!

OK, so it’s not technically spring yet, but it sure does feel like it in New Orleans. Stop by the Piety Market in the church at Hotel Peter & Paul at 2317 Burgundy Street. There will be food, music, and lots of great locally made art and goods. Come by before you head to Barkus!

A happy Mardi Gras was had!

Snow day glory

I had such a joyful couple of days playing in the snow, going on adventures, and watching my community light up with wonder. I did all the snow day things- built snowmen, went sledding (in a canoe!), laid in the cold softness and looked up at the trees, drank hot chocolate. I even remembered to take a picture of a perfume in the snow on the final day! (“Nuance” felt appropriate.)

Yes, the problems of the world are still here, but my spirit, inner child & nervous system really needed that little break! I’m so grateful I was able to fully embrace this time.

Our Story

Elspeth’s Airs perfumes weave together the scents, healing properties and energetics of natural plant materials to create fragrant touchstones that help us remember- a feeling, an intention, who we are.

Handcrafted in small batches with high quality, natural ingredients, Elspeth’s Airs are intimate and subtle, blending with the wearer’s skin and unfolding over time. Each scent is a balance of top, heart and base notes and last for at least several hours and often longer. Spritz on your pulse points, in hair, on clothing for your enjoyment and that of those you allow in your personal space.

Elspeth’s Airs considers the source and sustainability of the botanical materials it uses, and constantly strives to stay current and do better.

While the aroma and energetics of the plants used form the basis of each perfume, their aromatherapeutic properties are also considered. Justine is currently completing an aromatherapy certification and will soon offer various products with specific therapeutic benefits.
