L’Alchimie Parfum Botanique with blood orange, jasmine, amber

April Lea (she/her) is a natural perfumer and the founder of Lvnea Perfume. She creates dark, complex, and unisex liquid and solid perfumes exclusively from natural materials and plant essences. Her fragrances combine a fascination with ancient and traditional perfumery techniques with natural history, folklore, and magic. Originally hailing from Philadelphia, she currently resides in Montreal, Quebec where she runs and operates her studio and brick & mortar shop.

Lvnea explores the spaces between the natural world and that of the ethereal. With a focus on pure plant essences and unexpected aromatic combinations, raw materials from rare natural extractions are sourced from around the world to evoke distant memories and awaken unwritten desires.
Each scent begins as a distinct story, transforming the conceptual into high olfactory art. Traditional French parfumerie techniques are juxtaposed with luxuriantly minimal design, creating scents that are at once reminiscent of another world, yet deeply familiar.
