Pearfat Parfum

Alie Kiral’s course was set from the first sniff of a bottle of Tom Fields’ Tinkerbell perfume in the early 90s—she soon started stealing spritzes of her mom’s White Diamonds, and her love of fragrance hasn’t wavered since. She also loves playing pinball, adopting chihuahuas and wayward cats, and watching the campiest movies possible with her husband, Keegan.

Pearfat Parfum sprung from Alie’s passion for exploring the human body’s senses, her fascination with the anthropology of fragrance, and her desire to create accessible (and amusing!) space for all in a historically insular industry. She is a self-taught perfumer and, with the help of her mentors at the Institute for Art & Olfaction, she investigates the interplay of art, craft, history, and culture that defines the world of fine fragrance.
