About

Hi, I’m Samantha, an accomplished perfume journalist and writer with several UK Jasmine Award nominations under my belt. I love crafting engaging content across platforms, whether it’s through my own perfume blog, writing newsletters, or co-authoring books. My passion lies in perfumes and fragrances, bringing that world closer to English-speaking audiences.

With a strong background in digital marketing and communications, I specialize in social media engagement, content creation, and managing global client portfolios. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy language learning, wild swimming, and creative writing.
