About Olivine Atelier
Olivine Atelier was created by Seattle perfumer and entrepreneur Julie Wray. The official brand site says Wray opened her first perfume and aromatherapy blending bar, Aromatica, at age 24, later opened Olivine as a Seattle women's boutique in 1993, and launched the Olivine perfume line in 2007. The same source identifies the products as hand-poured in Seattle and describes the current business as focused on perfume oils and beauty rituals.
The brand's documented fragrance catalogue includes eight perfumes listed by Fragrantica, with the database assigning 2015 launch dates to the collection. Its scent direction is centered on floral, musky, vanilla-led and fruity compositions, alongside aquatic and woody variations. Examples include the coconut, sea-salt and water-lily profile of Amongst the Waves, the pear, papaya, gardenia and vanilla structure of Gigi, and the jasmine, rose, blackberry, vanilla, patchouli and musk combination in Full Regalia. The available sources do not identify a parent company or a separate corporate owner.

Brand Evolution
The business began with Julie Wray's Seattle perfume-blending work and expanded into the Olivine boutique in 1993. Wray launched the Olivine perfume line in 2007, later moving the business online and continuing to hand-pour products in Seattle. Fragrantica's documented catalogue shows an eight-fragrance group dated to 2015, while the current brand site emphasizes perfume oils and beauty rituals.
Quick Verdict
A small, founder-led brand with a consistent floral-vanilla-musk signature and a credible hand-poured Seattle identity. Its limited documented catalogue and repeated reliance on familiar floral materials may feel narrow to shoppers seeking highly experimental perfumery.
