The reward of following your dream
What would it take for you to leave behind the comforts, prestige and paycheck of a high profile, highly successful career and follow your heart with no guarantee that you'd ever be successful? Renee Griffith, founder and owner of Renée Innovative Fragrances took such a leap of faith and has landed in a unique circle of perfume entrepreneurs with an established clientele of devoted followers.
It all began after a romantic holiday to Bali with her finance. Each evening as they would walk back to their room
Renee noticed a small white tuberose blossom imparting a scent like nothing she had ever experienced before. Taking a single blossom and placing it on her pillow, the humidity and warmth of the air released this fragrance filling the room. Renee know from that moment that she must create this special scent for her wedding day. It is still a closely guarded secret and is not part of her collection available for the public. It calls forth a very personal and intimate memory of her wedding day. As a memento of this special occasion, she custom blended her wedding fragrance which she decanted into antique vials that were presented in handmade boxes as gifts. The response was overwhelming and Renée realized that 
women were captivated by inspired scents they could personally relate to.
Women who wear these fragrances are looking for something classic, but unusual and not a copy of a mass-marketed scent worn by millions. They want to say, "This is my fragrance. Not something that everyone else wears." Endless experiments in her Melbourne kitchen evolved into a self-named boutique collection of perfume, body lotions, soaps and scented candles.
Mediterranean Lily, my favorite of her seven fragrances, is a bouquet of soft white blooms of waterlilies, lys blanc, gardenias and jasmine are interlaced with the freshness of Italian bergamot and the sensuality of sandalwood. I'm definitely getting a picture of walking in a Mediterranean garden on a sunny day when the warm summer breeze carries the scent of wild flowers through the air. Sophisticated and elegant! Super feminine. I wore this to lunch with friend recently and her response was, "Where you just on tropical vacation...you smell go good." The thing I like best about this fragrance...it's not overpowering and does not scream LILY!! It's perfectly blended and lasts for hours. Following is additional information about each fragrance.
