Archer Farrar Perfume Atelier has quickly gained a reputation for producing 100% natural, small-batch perfumes that are contemporary in vision but rooted in traditional craft. Katrina formulates every fragrance by hand using only pure essential oils, absolutes, resins, and natural isolates. Her ingredients are ethically sourced, with attention paid to sustainability and environmental impact at every stage of the process.

Her guiding philosophy is clear: “Perfumes should be creative expressions of the purity, vitality, beauty and diversity of nature.” This principle is reflected in everything she makes — from her core collection to bespoke creations offered through private consultations. Each fragrance feels intimate, intentional, and in harmony with the earth.

In 2024, her work was formally recognised when her fragrance “Embrace” won Bronze in the Best Perfume Oil category at the Clean + Conscious Awards — a respected Australia/New Zealand awards platform that highlights ethical and sustainable brands. Judges praised the formulation’s originality, craftsmanship, and commitment to natural materials, with particular attention to her refillable packaging and small-batch ethos.

Today, Katrina remains closely connected to the Natural Perfume Academy. She is listed in the Academy’s directory of certified perfumers and is regarded as a shining example of how NPA graduates can build meaningful, successful, and sustainable perfume brands. Her story is already inspiring students coming up through the program — not because of a flashy origin tale, but because of her consistent integrity, creative depth, and respect for nature’s raw materials.
