Julie Wray

About

Julie Wray is a Seattle-based perfumer and the founder of Olivine Atelier. Her interest in perfume began in childhood, and by eighteen she was working in a Seattle perfume-blending bar. There, experimenting with her own blends pushed her towards an independent path. At twenty-four she opened Aromatica, a perfume-blending bar, before building Olivine Atelier as a wider boutique for fashion, beauty and fragrance. Wray describes her creative outlook as shaped by Seattle's 1990s grunge era and a refusal to follow standard blending rules. Her work connects personal adornment with ritual and self-expression: fragrance is presented as a way to recognise and celebrate the wearer rather than to remake her. Alongside perfume, she works with homeopathy, flower essences and intuitive wellness, giving the house a broader focus on scent and everyday rituals. Olivine Atelier's catalogue includes the 13 Moons collection and its Classic fragrances. A perfume record for Wolf Moon credits Wray as its perfumer, linking her personal creative practice to the brand's intimate, story-led scents. Her published biography does not identify a formal training house, perfumery school or birth year, so none is assigned here. The available facts place her work in Seattle and document her progression from a perfume-blending bar to founding a long-running independent fragrance and beauty house.
