The Founder
Hi, I’m Caylin and my journey to going toxic-free began the moment I fell pregnant. In that quiet, transformative space, I became acutely aware of the hidden poisons in everyday beauty products, the chemicals we inhale, the synthetics we wear directly on our skin, often without question. Perfume, I discovered, is one of the most intimate yet overlooked exposures; it touches the body, the breath, the very space around us. So many people spray it directly onto their skin, often on the chest or pulse points, unaware of the impact on their bodies and those around them. I wanted to smell beautiful without compromising my health or the wellbeing of my child.
That need sparked the creation of Sense of Self, a natural, clean, and safe alternative to conventional fragrance. What started as a simple need, to smell delicious without compromise, evolved into an exploration of nature’s intelligence. I discovered the astonishing power of essential oils and botanical essences: how a single note can awaken memory, stir the senses, and ignite profound healing within. Each scent is more than fragrance, it is medicine, ritual, and remembrance.
Sense of Self is my offering to the world: a bridge between the raw, sacred intelligence of nature and the human spirit. It is a call to slow down, to breathe, to return to the earth and to yourself. Every bottle is a gentle reminder that fragrance can be conscious, beautiful, and restorative, a daily ritual that awakens the senses, nurtures the soul without ever compromising your health or your daily life.
