Scent, often hailed as one of our most evocative senses, possesses a unique power to whisk us away to distant memories, cherished experiences, and beloved places with just a single whiff. For generations, perfumes have held the remarkable ability to encapsulate memories and feelings, perfecting the blend of nostalgia and emotion with every spray. But what exactly goes into those intricate little bottles?

We invite you to enter the dynamic world of fragrance with Chelsey Owen, a renowned perfumer whose journey is as intriguing as the scents she develops. From navigating the vibrant streets of Paris, where the essence of perfume fills the air, to undergoing rigorous training under seasoned professionals, Chelsey's passion for perfumery has evolved into an impressive skillset. Now, as the founder of her own studio in Seattle, Atelier Madrona, she continues to innovate, crafting unique scents that tell stories and evoke emotions.

Join us as we dive into Chelsey's creative process, exploring the intricate relationship between scent and sensation and uncover the chemistry behind her latest collaboration with Can Can. Together, we embarked on creating Can Can's debut perfumes, Le Fight and Le F#@%, where each fragrance embodies a blend of joy, playfulness, and a little naughtiness.

It’s no surprise that we at Can Can LOVE to celebrate love. We love the grand gestures, the love notes, the moment two hands touch while reaching for the last beignet… you get it.

Whether you’ve been together for two months or two decades, there’s no doubting the undertone of stress that comes with planning the perfect Valentine’s Day. But fret not, fellow heart-shaped candy enthusiasts! This year we’re taking it upon ourselves to play Cupid and give you the blueprints for a perfect 14th of February.

As we navigate the maze of love, crushes, and occasional heartbreaks, why not make a pit stop at Galentine's Day? We're diving headfirst into a world where love comes in all forms— Whether you're single, mingling, or just fabulous and thriving, join us in celebrating friendships in all forms.

It’s time to lace up those corsets and prepare for a journey into the heart (or lack thereof) of the Land of Broken Hearts.

Now, we know you've been patiently waiting for our take on this peculiar affair in the kingdom of chaos and forbidden love. If the Broken Hearts Ball, the annual gathering where expressing affection is a one-way ticket to the hole of doom, doesn't pique your interest, then you must be as cold-hearted as Queen Astral herself.
