Olfactory Nostalgia with Carola Gonzalez
ORANGE BLOSSOM
At In Fiore, we believe the skin is a sense organ and scent initiates healing. Olfactory Nostalgia is a look at medicinal triggers, scented memories, and the feelings that ensue when taking in a distinct ingredient.

The face painter, who works her magic on famous canvases like Kerry Washington, Adria Arjona, and Uzo Aduba, is obsessed with skin and, of course, skincare. Naturally, her clients flock to her for the impeccable, flawless canvas she creates.
“Perfumery as medicine means scents that create a soothing, healing reaction.”
– Carola Gonzalez
Name:
Carola Gonzalez
What & Where:
Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist originally from Puerto Rico.
Ingredient:
Orange Blossom.
Olfactory Nostalgia:
I’ve been using Orange Blossom for most of my adult life. It reminds me of being outdoors, walking on the beach, catching fresh air, looking at the view of the infinite ocean, the bright blue sky, feeling grounded, centered, and serene. It also brings memories of freedom, laughter, dancing, and joy.
Perfumery as Medicine:
Perfumery as medicine means scents that create a soothing, healing reaction through the olfactory sense in the body and mind.
