Éva-Marie Lind Email & Phone Number

A new chapter opened for the Studio when Frey Organic-Biodynamic® Vineyards invited Eva-Marie to come to the winery as a sensory sommelier and merge the art and technique of perfumery, with the art and technique of winemaking. As Artist in Residence she would become a core member of their in-house wine group and shadow all aspects of their viniculture and oenology, following the seasons of the vines, harvests of the grapes, alongside studying the collaborative native and aromatic-medicinal plant residents of Northern California. Passionately fueled by vintners and vignerons such as Jules Chauvert, who held particular appreciation for the olfactive prowess of perfumers, delving more deeply to the ‘voice within the glass’ and listening to the smell in all aspects of the wine-making process, while developing her unique holistic sensory program Profumo e Vino - Perfume and Wine™. Recognizing and expanding the wine-tasters perception of aroma (nose), palate and finish, this program expands olfactory awareness through exercises and merging a new palette of linguistics that cross and intersect between the language of wine and the language of perfume. Sense of place, referenced as terroir and airroir, is accentuated utilizing experiential explorative of sensploration, where the sense of taste and smell are crossed, diverting olfactory neutrality and encouraging an escalated multi-sensory approach to further train and enhance our relationship with smell and flavor, scent and taste.

Founded with the vision and mission to bring Aroma (scent and flavor), Perfumery, Sensory Perception and our relationship to our Senses, into the public domain and private sector, advocated as a necessary tool for aesthetic and artistic expression and creation, health and wellbeing. To create product design that does not separate luxury from function, integrates art to science and beauty to ecology. To steward our Earth educating on the vitality of integrated ecosystems, sustainable culture, agriculture and raw material production and procurement methods. The design palette of the Studio has taken Eva-Marie throughout the globe seeking, studying and immersing in all aspects of production from soil to harvest, extraction to bottle.Specialties + Deliverables: • Sensorial + Experiential design• Fragrance innovation• [Natural] Oenology• Concept Formulation (cosmetic)• Eco-Homecare• Flavor; Beverage, Spirits, Culinary • Evaluation and Integration• Raw material procurement and laboratory support• Aromatic agronomy, production and supply chain• Branding and Identity• Strategy, Marketplace and Consumer trend analysis• Education, Training, Marketing material content

The exclusivity writing for the Industry peer revered ‘Specialty Tea Is “Hot” Report’ (6 Edition), of ’”Kaori O Kiku' Listen to the Smell’ (coffee and tea industries) and the coinciding sensory perfumed dining collaborations with celebrated Chef Robert Reynolds (Chef’s Studio Portland-France), birthed the design of ‘1st We Smell’.

The Studio would close for a tenure in 2016, Eva-Marie inspired to accept a exclusivity position in R&D + collaborative stewardship to LaVecchia Distilleria, The Old Distillery, established in 1856 and dedicated to a plantation caring for 300+ trees of Citrus aurantium var. amara, fiori d'arancio amaro (bitter orange blossom), companioned by rare antique roses. the area was familiar with a history of on-going collaborations, residing in the Province of Liguria, inland above the Mediterranean sea, bordering Southern France. 2012 Slow Food Italia Presidium had ignited expansive engagement in the restoration of the traditional agricultural landscape of the distillery begun in mid-1960’s and further stewardship of Éva-Marie would study and explore harvest + distillation techniques for the retention of precious molecules at ratios oftentimes lost and offering superlative olfactive + organoleptic qualities. Alongside multiple high profile International presentations, 2018 would initiate the founding of a proposed Learning Center, christened NOA, Nerolis Olfactive Arts Academy - located in the central Village of Vallebona. Renovated and designed around the family museum, it now offers a uniquely quaint and beautiful space to gather. It founded with a proposal to unite students to perfume arts to like-minded Internationally revered educators, artists and stewards - with a mission and focus of dedicated appreciation to raw materials of natural origin and fusing the linguistic landscapes of Italian and English.
