About the Brand

A living archive of place, care, and elemental grace

 

The Essence of Boardwalk
Boardwalk Essences is a poetic offering of small-batch botanical blends, handcrafted in Albany, Western Australia. Each formula is created using complete essential oils—never synthetics—and aged for synergy and potency. The result is scent as presence: intimate, radiant, and quietly alive.

 Rooted in Place
Shaped by the rhythms of land and light, its collections draw from the wildflower coast, desert heartlands, and forest hush—each blend a sensory map of place. Kay works seasonally, allowing nature’s cycles to guide production, and every batch is infused with care, clarity, and emotional resonance.

 A Philosophy of Care
Boardwalk Essences is more than a perfume house. It is a philosophy of conscious living. Packaging is minimal and tactile, designed to invite pause and presence. Language is poetic, layered, and evocative—each phrase a gesture of care.

‘Forential’ is a word created to hold the idea of scent as place, presence, and care. It means “the breath of the land, distilled into essence”—a phrase that speaks to the way fragrance can carry memory, meaning, and belonging.

More than a perfume, a forential blend is a ritual: a way of listening to the land, honouring its rhythm, and inviting its spirit into daily life.

 

“When people breathe in these perfumes, they’re breathing in a little of Western Australia itself.”
— Kay Scrimshaw
