Perfumer & Brand

Welcome, I’m Iolanta!

About the Brand

I am the creatrix, fragrance alchemist, and curious nose behind VIOLA — an independent perfume house devoted to the alchemy of scent.

I describe myself as an intellectual free spirit with a witty sense of humor and an insatiable appetite for adventure. From an early age, I found myself yearning for something deeper — a hidden world of escape, acceptance, and endless imagination. That search ultimately led me to perfume — not merely as an art form, but as a ritual; a bridge between nature, spirit, and self.

Through VIOLA, I create scents designed to awaken, inspire, transport, and gently realign us with our essence.

My formal journey into perfumery began in 2018, though its roots reach far beyond time and training. I have always been drawn to nature, spirituality, the cosmos, and the language of alchemy—sacred geometry, spiritual ascension, and the quiet intelligence that moves through all living things. I listen for the wisdom carried through ancient civilizations, not as history, but as a living force meant to heal, guide, and awaken others in the present moment.

To me, perfume is far more than a fragrance. It is a vessel for self-expression, emotional resonance, and spiritual elevation. This belief sparked a personal transformation and guided me toward the sacred art of perfume creation.

My name, Iolanta, translates from Latin as violet — a flower long associated with mystery, intuition, and transformation. From this symbolism, VIOLA Perfumery was born: a living extension of my curious spirit.

Philosophy

Smell is the most ancient language of the human soul.

Long before words, scent guided humanity — warning, protecting, attracting, and remembering. It revealed what was safe, what was sacred, and who belonged. Scent was instinct. Ritual. Survival.

At VIOLA, botanicals are chosen not only for their aroma, but for their history, vibration, and symbolic meaning. Rare absolutes, resins, tinctures, and essences are brought together through a process that is equal parts craftsmanship and intuition. Each blend is tuned slowly, by hand, until it carries harmony — not only on the skin, but within the person wearing it.

These perfumes are created to interact with you. They evolve, respond, and reveal different facets depending on your skin, your mood, and your season of life. They are not static compositions — they are companions.

Each fragrance carries a story. Within every package, you will find words meant to be read slowly, like a ritual. These are not marketing descriptions, but keys — invitations to enter the state encoded within the scent.

My mission is to restore perfumery to its artisanal, old-world roots.

Our collections are organized by intention rather than trend. Within each state, you will find both oil-based and alcohol-based fragrances, including limited editions born from rare and hard-to-source botanicals.

For those seeking something truly personal, I offer a bespoke perfume experience — where we co-create a signature scent based on your fragrance preferences or your astrological natal chart. I collaborate closely with a professional astrologist to ensure each custom perfume aligns with your unique cosmic blueprint.

Infused with Intention:

At VIOLA Perfumery, every bottle begins with purpose. We use only the highest-quality, single-origin essential oils. Many of our tinctures, pomades, and enfleurages are crafted in-house by hand. For other materials — absolutes, resins, and CO₂ extractions — we conduct extensive research to ensure each essence is responsibly and sustainably sourced from trusted suppliers.

VIOLA is a living apotheca.
 A bridge between ancient alchemy and modern consciousness.
 A reminder that scent is not decoration — it is destiny, worn on the skin.

As Jean-Paul Guerlain once said, 
“Perfume is the most intense form of memory.”
I would add: it is also a way to shape the present — and design the future.

Warmly,
 Iolanta.
