Kelly Cronk or “Kelli” is the owner/perfumer for KELLI KLINE. In 2006, she participated in the L’Artisan Parfumeur workshop and learned the basics about perfume notes and blending. One year later she visited their flagship store in Paris. Since then, she has spent the last 19 years studying fragrances, different skincare brands and their ingredients. Fun Fact! She was once thrown out of a Larchmont Village beauty store for “taking notes” while looking at the ingredients labels (and not buying anything).
The inspiration for creating our natural skincare line + fragrances originated from Kelli’s realization that many consumers were paying for expensive skincare products loaded with the same synthetic compounds that cheaper, generic brands were using. Most products are made utilizing the same 99% of ingredients and the only thing distinguishing them are brand packaging, price point, and the infamous 1% of key active ingredients. Commercial fragrances average 5-10% natural ratios. In order to create more authentic sensory fragrances, our blends range from 47-100% natural. They’re not your typical cheap and/or department store fragrances!
In 2022, Kelli began selling her fragrance line at Miraval Resort Spa in Arizona. During this time, our process has evolved and transformed the aromatherapy formulas into long lasting EDP’s (Eau de Parfums). One of KELLI KLINE’s products debuted in the Nominee Swag Bag, honoring the Oscars on March 10, 2024 (HSB).
In 2024, Kelli traveled to England to study with Karen Gilbert of Fragrant Alchemy. Kelli learned more about developing accords while working with industry standard perfumery materials. While there, she traveled to Stonehenge, where she was inspired to create a chypre, honoring the beauty of that experience.

Founder Profile
history
I’ve been a “creator” ever since I was five years old. I was always searching for imaginative outlets in order to understand my purpose for this life. Normally, I use creative writing as my outlet, but when I experienced writer’s block, I needed to find other ways to channel that energy. Hence, I began developing natural skincare products and fragrances, and that’s where KELLI KLINE evolved.
timeline of my fragrance obsession
1972 I grew up appreciating the heavenly fragrance of lilac bushes in my backyard. LILAC above all, is my favorite scent! Sadly, the essence of lilacs cannot be extracted successfully. If you use anything with a lilac fragrances, just know it’s a synthetic version.
1996 I became obsessed with the “do it yourself” perfume bar at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. I’d create some interesting concoctions, they would bottle them, slap a sticker on it, and I’d take them home. I LOVED IT!
2006 I decided to participate in a perfumery workshop for fun (L’Artisan Paris) and I’ve never looked back
2015 I began bottling my first aromatherapy blends of Attitude Adjustment, Jetsetter (to alleviate jet lag symptoms) and F OFF
2022 I began selling my aromatherapy spritzers and skincare products at Miraval Resort Spa
future goals
meeting Heretic Founder (Douglas Little) and watching him blend something
never spilling another bottle of rose absolute again!
