Door to the Cosmos began as a scent story of cosmosis, an experimental exploration Rachel Ellis, aromatherapist and scent designer dove into whilst composing a meditation practice. Cosmosis, defined as cosmic energy passing through lower energetic fields to higher energetic fields, equalizing the concentration of energy frequency in both fields an expansion/embodiment of the definition of cosmosis: an aligned, harmonious connection with the cosmos. Rachel’s definition is centered around their experience of non-separation with sentient matter throughout the cosmos—an exploration of the observer and object being one body. Rachel has personally explored this through relationship building with plants, animals, and earth matter, as well as their creations being completely botanical and earth-based.

Door to the Cosmos is a container for Rachel’s scent stories— explorations of memory recall/re-writing, and play through botanical perfumery. Their scent stories are an invitation to explore the art of perfume on a metaphysical level. Offerings of private sessions are an invitation to hold more intimate space and dive deeper into the formulation process.

Door to the Cosmos is in honor of the women in their family—tenders of the land, always listening to the messages the Earth and cosmos bring.
