Our Story

Rooted in the belief that fragrances can be powerful catalysts for emotional and spiritual growth, FY harnesses the transformative potential of aromas and sensory experiences. This approach was deeply influenced by Dr. Martin Seligman, the founder of the discipline of positive psychology, Jeff’s academic pursuit at UPenn, reflecting a commitment to enhancing life experiences through sensory engagement.

Our fragrances are meant to offer portals to self-discovery and holistic growth. FREE YOURSELF is about nurturing the soul, fostering personal growth, and inspiring a journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being.

Our Perfumers

In the heart of Grasse, France, the capital of perfumery, our perfumers Xavier Blaizot and Maud Chabanis are the alchemists behind Free Yourself's fragrances. Xavier, a scion of a seven-generation perfume legacy, and Maud, a native of Nîmes imbued with the scents of Provence, weave their experiences into each fragrance they create. Their mastery and intuition in perfumery are not just about crafting scents but about capturing emotions and memories, a perfect embodiment of FY’s philosophy of evoking transformative experiences through aroma.

Free Yourself (FY) is honored to have Alain Garossi, a master perfumer with a legacy rooted in Grasse, as a mentor. His journey in perfumery began with boyhood visits to his grandfather and father at Roure Bertrand fils & Justin Dupont. It was perfected at Robertet & Co, Givaudan, and Quest International, bringing over four decades of experience to FY. Alain's deep understanding of scent, drawn from nature and diverse cultures, and his role in nurturing emerging talents in perfumery perfectly aligns with FY's blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, making every FY fragrance a testament to his rich olfactory heritage and expertise.

Our Ceramics

At the heart of Free Yourself's commitment to artisanship and sustainability are the skilled potters at Farmhouse Pottery in Woodstock, Vermont, who meticulously craft the ceramic vessels for our products. Embodying the spirit of studio pottery, each piece is a work of art, shaped entirely by hand from start to finish by a dedicated team of artisans. This community eschews modern machinery and mass production, taking pride in a process that is authentically handmade. From the moment the clay touches the wheel to the final product, they create durable and timeless ceramic pieces, reflecting Free Yourself’s ethos of enduring luxury.
