Step back in time for a delightful afternoon or evening when you join us at beautiful Rock Ridge Farm just outside Meredith, NH.

Wander the enchanted gardens, sip a cup of hot tea in the tea nook, browse our book collection, view the work of local artists, and create your very own scent with the help of Tamsan, a master perfumer, who has made perfumes for celebrities, writers, even a queen!
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Whether you come to create, watch,or just relax, your visit to
Essense Parfumerie will be an occasion to remember.
Essense of Martha's Vineyard, the apothecary-style custom-blending perfume salon on The Vineyard, has relocated to a new primary location just outside Meredith Village, New Hampshire.

Essense originally began as a perfume oil workshop called Body Scents in Woodstock, New York during the late 1970s. After moving to Martha's Vineyard in the early 1980s, it became Essence Natural Perfumes, and then in 1991 morphed into Essense of Martha's Vineyard, after a third change in ownership.

Essense was the first and original perfume-blending bar on Martha's Vineyard. After 35 years, three owner/perfumers and three location changes, Essense has remained an essential perfume workshop to create body scents and perfume oil blends.
