Known publicly more for teaching and bespoke work than for mass-market launches, Kessler often focuses on building accords around classic materials and themes, such as deep floral rose and jasmine structures, amber constructions, and fresh marine accords. Her workshops emphasize understanding and reconstructing key note families and working closely with modern aroma chemicals like Iso E Super and Ambroxan.
