OLO is a tiny fragrance line based in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 2009 by self-taught perfumer Heather Sielaff, each fragrance continues to be hand blended and bottled to order. OLO Fragrance blends contain fractionated coconut oil, essential oils, key accords and absolutes. We are so delighted to have Heather sending us a small collection of her lovely fragrances to us at KINDRED.
Heather likes mist floating through the trees, the sound of waves, the smell of wet earth, any animal with paws, chocolate, bullshitting with her grandfather.
Heather dislikes flip flops, Axe body spray, lazy folks, sushi (sorry, it’s a texture thing), clowns.
