WELCOME ~
You are about to enter the fragrant world of Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, an olfactory artist, perfumer, and certified aromatherapist as well as one of the pioneers of American indie and niche perfumery.
At this site, we are very pleased to offer you the finest in artisan perfumery, all botanical & natural fragrances, plant-based organic bath & body, mixed media scents for men and women, aroma art project perfumes, as well as ambient home fragrances.
Please be aware that we no longer ship directly to the EU or UK due to the VAT / customs laws that went into effect in June / July of 2021. As such, we are delighted to re-direct you to our new ETSY site, where we SHIP WORLDWIDE – INCLUDING to the EU and UK! 🙂 If there’s a scent you wish to see there, please get in touch and we will do our best to get it uploaded ASAP. Please see our FAQ page for details as to where (and what) we can directly ship and notice during checkout.
Please know that as of July1, 2025, we see all clients and shoppers at the ESSENSE STUDIO BY APPOINTMENT ONLY (appointment times available: Tuesday – Saturday during the hours of 11 am – 5 pm).
Private shopping appointments have no cost to book, and this exclusive time allows us to give our clients the best, most tailored and curated experience. We can get to know you and your fragrance preferences which allows us to help you find the best match for your lifestyle and fragrance journey. Our clients tell us that this style of service is unlike any fragrance shopping experience they have ever had before.
Should you have any problems, questions, feedback, or concerns, please contact us. We are here for you.
-Dawn and the DSH Perfumes Team
