Portrait of Charlotte Semler, Founder of Fragrance House Verden
|
|
"A painting can change the atmosphere of a room through colour, light, texture and composition. Fragrance works in a more elusive way, creating an atmosphere that you can’t see, almost like an invisible layer of the interior."
– Charlotte Semler |

We spoke with Charlotte Semler, founder of natural fragrance house Verden, on the ability of scent and art to evoke memories, emotions, and place. Guided by a desire to use scent to reconnect us to self and ‘Earth’ - the meaning of Verden in her native Danish - Semler hones the art of elemental alchemy.
Discover the art Semler would choose to live with from Rise Art, works influenced by nature and by inspiring women artists, alongside a short interview with the founder. |

FOUNDER COMMENTARY
"My favourite piece is by Mary West. Her colours and textures always speak to me and the abstract landscape work, Counterstream, really stood out to me." |

|
|
"I love art that reinterprets our fundamental connection to nature. And I tend to gravitate towards works by women artists. My selection from Rise Art unsurprisingly reflects this." |
