Field Notes
on olfactive excavation
Chronology
07.2023: Founded in Orange County, CA.
08.2024: Relocation to PA; initial release of Santiago.
06.2026: Four core fragrances reformulated with deeper intention; collection unified.
Pending.2026: An upcoming study of ancient Rome and botanical thorns.
Intent
Invisible Places is a study in slow perfumery and material restraint, documenting scent in its most enduring, unhurried form.
Rooted in the spirit of Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, the collection is a personal excavation of nostalgia, a preservation of places we can no longer go back to.
Method
By anchoring raw botanical ingredients with unexpected synthetics, we create timeless, weathered artifacts for the fragrance library.
All fragrances are formulated, compounded, and bottled by hand in Pennsylvania.
More on the Perfumer
Hi, I'm Brady, the founder and perfumer behind Invisible Places.
Back in 2023, an afternoon hike through the chaparral of Orange County inspired me to make Santiago. Three years later and I've created 7 original fragrances, 4 ReEditions, and have one more on the way.
I studied Public Relations at the University of Rhode Island, where I received my B.A. in Communications. My fiancé and I have a dog and cat and spend our free time frequenting our favorite local bookstores and coffee shops in and around the Main Line.
