Ineke Perfumes
After 20 years of making perfumes, I’ve wound down Ineke Perfumes. As many of you know, I co-founded Ministry of Scent with Antonia Kohl in 2018. We sell niche and indie brands from around the world in our two San Francisco stores, as well as online at ministryofscent.com. We’ve been growing by leaps and bounds, and it’s more than a full-time job, so I’ll be focusing my efforts on Ministry of Scent.
If you’re looking for a replacement for any of my fragrances, here are a few recommendations with links. They aren’t smell-alikes, but rather “in the spirit of”, and with some similar notes. I highly recommend buying samples at Ministry of Scent to try them out.
Thanks for your patronage all these years!
