Dawn M. Spencer Hurwitz (DSH) is a phenomenal talent and has been called a perfume genius by her devoted clientele. Beginning her career as a painter, Dawn came to perfumery in 1991.

While working at Boston's famed ESSENSE Perfumery she developed her talent for creating perfumes based on fine art principles (texture, color, line, light, shape, expression), bringing the art of aromatherapy into her fragrances, and sensing what her clients truly want ("a perfume that makes you feel even more like yourself...").

Since the early nineties, Dawn has been developing her own innovative lines of ready to wear artisan perfumes called Parfums des Beaux Arts, LLC. The Posh Peasant has chosen 12 of DSH’s personal favorites inspired by Art, Artists, Literature, and the gorgeous world around us.

DSH perfumes have a cult-like following, with write ups is many magazines; such as Natural Health, Oprah, Self, Real Simple, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Holistic Health and many others.
