Balahoutis founded Strange Invisible Perfumes in 2000 with the conviction that fine perfumery be made of authentic botanical essences. Each botanical fragrance is formulated with certified organic, wildcrafted, biodynamic and hydro-distilled essences. Limited batches are then hand-blended and set into a base of custom-distilled esprit de Cognac and aged for a minimum of six months. Each Strange Invisible Perfume is decanted rather than filtered, and bottled in-house in Venice, California.
