About Me
Bespoke Fragrance
"Slowing down and being aware of your place in your environment. All senses activated and turning off the noise of daily living. Being yourself and invoking a moment or a memory. Feeling exceptional and in tune in a unique and pleasing way. Calderian Sense takes me there, everyday and anyday."
"Calder’s perfume blends art, science, and memories into a perfect symphony."
"Artistic bespoke scents, small batch, meticulously mixed, lots of naturals, resulting in surprising, off-beat scents."
“These fragrances are bold, atmospheric, and unlike anything else—totally unique. You can tell they’re made with intention and a strong point of view.”
"I worked with Calder on several projects and was totally pleased with both the experience and the scents. They haunt me still. They added enormous dimension, in particular the scent he created for a Michelangelo installation my company orchestrated. I was so thrilled that I sent samples of his scent as Christmas gifts to my special clients. He is a complete gentleman and joy. What more can I say. I am a huge fan."
"With a few simple prompts, Calder was able to create a deeply layered scent perfect for any occasion. I told him I liked pine, sandalwood, and smoke. Calder was able to put the whole campground in a bottle. His precision surrounding scent and fragrances is unmatched. He was able to provide one of the most tailored aromas I have ever worn. Try it once and be forever changed!"
"Calder is a very talented perfumer with a sophisticated nose. He created a bespoke fragrance for me that completely captured the complicated notes I love. I use it sparingly because it is a favorite of mine and I don't want to run out. When I wear it, everyone tells me how unique it is."
"Calder opened the door to the inner sanctum of scent for me. He designed a unique aroma that feels like a hug every time that I wear it."
"I requested two custom scents from Calder: the first was to bring me from the deepest roots of a tree up to the point where its top-most leaves touch the sky; the second to smell of soil and fruit. Calder was able to understand and interpret these esoteric requests with passion, cleverly incorporating measures of stone, musk, wood, leaf, flower, and fruit — and an unexpected ingredient or two — to achieve a perfect balance. Though the requests were similar, Calder managed to make each scent distinct, and people were fascinated by them. The process was fun and personal, and each new element added to the mix came with a story about its science or its history, and how it might wear on clothes versus skin. There was a touch of alchemy to it, truly a unique experience."
"Calder Singer is the scent king."
"Calder’s fragrances are characters that inhabit a holographic present in a fantasy world that’s strangely close to home"
