Nestled in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea California, Ajne is one of the world's only entirely natural perfume houses and the nation's premiere destination for 'scentophiles' and seekers of rare and precious products. Alongside sculptors, painters and poets, Jane Hendler creates 'fragrant' art. Blending real flower and plant ingredients without synthetic chemicals of any kind, Jane creates the perfumes, lotions, soaps, skin care and home fragrances for her Ready-to-wear collection, as well as the ultimate in luxury, an Ajne Couture custom blend.

Entering the boutique, the first thing you notice is the intoxicating, delicate scent. As you try to decipher just what it is, you're drawn further into the space evoking a 15th century French parfumerie complete with 22 karat gold accents. Your journey of self and scent discovery begins at an antique dressing table, where you'll complete a brief, computerized questionnaire. The computer accesses a database of thousands of potential ingredients best suited to your unique chemistry.

A keen nose may detect Ajne's famous scent bar where you can browse the largest collection of plant distilled fragrant oils. Here, many people experience for the first time nearly 300 authentic aromatics including some from Ajne's own organic farm and others from small, elite growers around the world.

A magnificent gilded granite hand-painted blending bar is located at the back of the boutique where Jane mixes these rare and precious ingredients until your signature perfume, lotion or skin care product is blended to perfection. You can even select from Ajne's breathtaking collection of handmade perfume bottles including the signature black heart flacon designed by Jane's husband Rex.
