Ineke Ruhland of 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 Ministry of Scent. We’ve been growing in leaps and bounds, and it’s more than a full-time job, so I’ll be focusing my efforts on Ministry of Scent.”-Ineke Ruland

After 20 years of making perfumes, from A to J, Ineke Ruhland has reached a new chapter in her life and will wind down INeKE Perfumes on June 19^th, 2026. I have known Ineke since 2006 and we have written extensively about her collection since our inception in 2010 featuring them in many reviews and videos.

Limited Stock remains:10-packs of 1.5 ml samples of Balmy Days & Sundays, Derring-Do and Field Notes from Paris

INeKE Perfumes Balmy Days & Sundays is a green grassy floral with rose, honeysuckle and an especially spectacular mimosa note. Wear this and you’ll feel like you are wiggling your toes through a freshly mown lawn watching clouds float by in a bright blue sky. It’s perfect to wear anytime you want to bring the outdoors indoors-Michelyn’s review featured in Steven’s Gavrielatos’ Most Unique Spring Perfume here

 INeKE Perfumes Derring Do: D is For Dashing. Derring-Do is a standout Fougère fragrance translucent citruses blend with silky cyclamen (Persian violet) and a sea spray-like note that makes it shimmers and glisten. As this continues, it blends the warmth and spiciness of cardamom and pepper with the tender green of fern and creamy magnolia petals. It is spicy, yet floral fresh AND clean! –Michelyn’s review from Steven’s video here

INeKE Perfumes Field Notes From Paris:  Ineke composed Fields Notes from Paris while reminiscing about her days there training as a perfumer and reflected upon the words of T.S. Eliot: “Life is measured in coffee spoons.” Imagine a fall afternoon at a corner café sipping an espresso, watching people slowly walk by and taking in the aromas. Field Notes from Paris has an enigmatic, warm presence that will bring you there, no matter where you are. Its woody-ambery structure combines the warmth of both tobacco flower and leaf with the vintage perfumery notes of coriander seed, patchouli and tonka bean. Michelyn from Steven’s Video Here
