The Art of Olfactory Storytelling

Founded in 2025 and nestled in the breathtaking landscape of North Bend, Washington, Architects & Ash is a premier scent studio dedicated to the highest art of custom fragrance design.

Our Founder & Craft


At the heart of the studio is Perfumer Alisa Michelle Burdett. With fifteen years of study, Alisa’s journey has spanned the global centers of perfumery, from San Francisco and Los Angeles to the legendary fields of Grasse, France.

Alisa’s background is a unique convergence of the performing arts and a lifelong passion for scent discovery. This integration allows Architects & Ash to fuse profound knowledge of the world's most exquisite materials with the deeply personal architecture of your unique story.

The Philosophy


We believe fragrance is the most intimate form of communication. It is a powerful conduit for narrative, memory, and aspiration. Architects & Ash does not merely design perfumes; we translate the unspoken moments of your life into a bespoke scent signature.

Whether you wish to rediscover a forgotten memory, boldly articulate a new aspiration, or subtly whisper a half-realized adventure, we craft a custom fragrance designed to communicate your unique, complex, and compelling story to the world.
