About Us
Rohanna Goodwin Smith
Rohanna creates Ascent Natural Perfumes from her studio in the coastal town of Gibsons, British Columbia, Canada.
Rohanna has enjoyed a lifelong passion for fragrance. As a practising aromatherapist for fifteen years she gained an intimate knowledge of natural essences—appreciating their sumptuous qualities and understanding their healing properties. Since that time she has committed herself solely to the work and world of natural perfumery in which she creates original compositions for personal clients and continues to evolve her line of natural perfumes.
During her career in aromatic arts, Rohanna has studied with natural perfumer Mandy Aftel in Berkeley, California and with British aromatherapist Valerie Ann Worwood in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is a professional member of the international Natural Perfumers Guild.
Rohanna shares her love of these beautiful botanicals with others through her private consultations and her Perfume Salons, unique by-invitation events. She feels privileged and is delighted to have discovered this fragrant path—sensuous, powerful, and uplifting to the soul.
