Collection: elizabethW

Elizabeth Wightman was Albert's, founder of the brand, great grand-mother. She founded a ranch in the Sierra Nevadas in the 1800's, when neither grace nor style were required or desired. Her spirit of determination and independence went hand in hand with her romantic nature and classic elegance. She was the obvious inspiration for his business.

Scent is a potent reminder of our past. Albert's strongest memories are the scents of summer as a kid on Elizabeth's ranch. Violets, roses, lilacs, and magnolias surrounded the house, while inside, the kitchen was filled with freshly picked lavender, rosemary, and sage. Fragrance enveloped me and became my fascination. Before launching into the rarefied air of the perfume world, he was an architect. In 1995, Albert devoted himself to his true passion and created a perfumery.
