About The Brand

Anjali Vandemark, born in India, is a perfumer and olfactory artist based in Washington.

In her olfactory installations, she works with scent as an abstract medium to explore how we experience the world.

Anjali has been featured at the Olfactory Art Keller Gallery in New York, JG Art Gallery in Washington, and the Bainbridge Island Land Trust.

She was invited to create the Original Edition perfume, Starlight Sesame, for Scent Trunk—a curated fragrance house that partners with artists and perfumers to create limited-edition perfumes.

She founded Anjali Perfumes in 2021. Her perfumes reflect an appreciation for beauty, visual art, and the natural and urban landscapes around us.

Each perfume begins with a focus on materials, mood, or atmosphere. An original artwork, often created in collaboration with a contemporary artist, accompanies it which creates a visual expression of the scent.

Anjali approaches perfume as a personal atmosphere carried on the skin, whether on a quiet walk in a forest or in a busy city.

Brand Values: Art & Imagery

At Anjali Perfumes, visual art is an important dimension in the communication of perfumery. We treat perfume as an abstract medium that exists alongside painting and sculpture.

Each perfume is accompanied by an original work commissioned from a contemporary artist or, in some cases, thoughtfully licensed from their existing body of work.

The artists' interpretation of the perfume is meant to blend the different mediums of scent, image, and form as a shared composition.

All imagery is original, in the public domain, or commercially licensed.

Brand Values: Principles

At Anjali Perfumes, we believe women should have the freedom to make their own choices about reproductive health without judgment.

We aim to create a welcoming space that respects LGBTQIA+ communities and celebrates diverse heritages and cultures. We value inclusivity, and support people of color—including Black, Asian, Hispanic, and other historically under-represented voices.

These values guide everything we do, and we hope they help you feel at home here.

We support organizations such as the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, the U.S. Peace Corps, and the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Are Your Perfumes Natural?

We embrace both synthetic and natural materials in our palette. Blending them gives us more freedom to express our vision and achieve the right balance and harmony.

02

Are Your Perfumes Vegan?

In 2025, Anjali Perfumes Studio chose to expand our perfumery palette to include a select group of animal-derived materials such as Ambergris, Beeswax, Wool Absolute, and Hyraeceum; each sourced ethically and sustainably.

While many excellent synthetic alternatives exist, these natural by-products offer an additional dimension in our creative process. All are obtained without causing harm to animals, ensuring that ethical standards remain central to our practice.

03

What About Safety & Allergens?

We follow the guidelines established by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) based in EU, which sets global standards for fragrance safety. All known allergens are listed for each perfume. We recommend performing a patch test before use.

04

A Note On Variations & Reformulations

We make all perfumes in small batches. Occasionally, minor variations may occur between batches due to the nature of the process or sourcing.

Our perfumes contain natural materials, which can occasionally create tiny suspended particles. Their color may also deepen over time, which is normal. However, the essence and quality of each fragrance remains consistent.
