Ineke

Ineke Ruhland is the founder and owner of the Ineke perfume brand, based in San Francisco (California). Ineke Ruhland was born in Canada. She learned to be a perfumer and has worked in the perfume industry in Europe since 1988. She studied at ISIPCA, the famous perfume school in Versailles (France). Using lyrical titles that evoke stories of romance, nature, chemistry and courage, Ineke fragrances are rooted in her perfumery education and apprenticeship in France. The scents in the alphabetized collection, to date, are: After My Own Heart - A romantic reflection on finding yourself in a place that feels just right. This scent is inspired by the romantic and wistful lilac flower, which to Ineke is the forgotten flower of perfumery. Balmy Days & Sundays - A perfume about perfect moments on a relaxing Sunday; lying in the grass, breathing the smells of sweet scented flowers and fragrant leaves. Chemical Bonding - Playfully juxtaposing Chemistry 101 principles with human attraction, this scent combines a bright citrus opening with a powdery soft base, resulting in a flirtatious alchemy. Derring-Do - A darkly romantic fragrance for men evoking spring rain, this is an ode to the literary rogue. Derring-Do is the Old English term for daring, with its requisite chivalry. Evening Edged in Gold - Features the sensual warmth and opulence of night-scented flowers. A fragrance for sparkling soirées that is perfect in any season. Field Notes from Paris - a fragrance of sweet-scented Paris afternoons and of life measured out in coffee spoons. Gilded Lily - a floral fragrance that "gilds" the note of lily with sparkling fruits and cypriot woods Hothouse Flower - a gardenia soliflore balanced by woods and spices Designer Ineke has 16 perfumes in our fragrance base. The earliest edition was created in 2006 and the newest is from 2019. The nose who worked on the fragrances is Ineke Ruhland.
