Gilded Summer Beauty & Fragrance is a luxury vegan and natural skincare and fragrance brand developed over 25 years by Ashley Faye Brierton, an esthetician with experience in some of the top skincare clinics and spas in Los Angeles.
We are dedicated to creating natural beauty products, perfumes, and candles that evoke a deep emotional connection. Our products are designed for practicality and effectiveness and to nurture profound emotions. They are intentionally crafted to embody the concepts of ‘Beautiful is Feeling’ and Radiant Ritual'. We ensure that they meet high standards of functionality and effectiveness while deeply resonating with you emotionally.
I have always been captivated by fragrances and beauty products. As a child, the scents and cosmetics on my mother's and grandmother's vanities held a special allure for me. These products reminded me of a time when the beauty of the packaging itself evoked a sense of being transported to a different era. This nostalgic charm inspired me to develop a unique product line that elicits positive and enchanting emotions in people. Through Gilded Summer Beauty & Fragrance, I aim to bring my customers a sense of wonder and luxury that is unlike anything they've experienced before.
Over the past twenty years, I have worked closely with clients daily, fueling my passion for creating superior skincare products. My journey began with a meticulous approach to combining ingredients, striving to provide sophisticated and multi-layered results. My goal was not just to meet essential skincare needs, but to deliver a sensory experience akin to a professional treatment, making our customers feel indulged and pampered.
In the same way, my perfume oils and candles are inspired. Having worked in the beauty industry for many years and been exposed to various brands, many products seemed similar. I wanted the essence of perfume oil and the immersive experience of a beautiful candle to stem from a personal story, to make our customers feel connected and understood. I aimed to elevate the user experience by adding unique details at every stage so that as you take it off the shelf and open it, it reveals more beauty and meaning.
This commitment to quality, expertise, and experience is the foundation of Gilded Summer Beauty & Fragrance.
