Mauricio Garcia is an animistic perfumer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work aims to nourish the relationship between perfume, people and the more-than-human world. Mauricio’s inspiration is born from the fragrant ecology of the Pacific west coast—the marine fog, redwood forests, and the golden grassland hills home to butterflies, coyotes and many other beings. Rooted in perfumery’s ancient origins and ancestral veneration, Herbcraft Perfumery is a boutique fragrance studio that specializes in the creation of fine fragrances, fragrant enchantments and ritual anointments. Mauricio draws upon 18 years of working with and learning from herbalists, medicine makers, master craftswomen of perfumery, spiritual practitioners and, of course, plants and spirits themselves. He is an advocate for perfumery’s stewardship of the environment and its reclamation as sacred substance.
