In 2006, Kelli participated in the L’Artisan Parfumeur Paris workshop and learned the basics about perfume notes and blending. One year later, she was able to visit their flagship store in Paris. She’s self taught and has spent the last 18 years studying 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.
The inspiration for creating our skincare line 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.
In 2022, Kelli began selling her fragrance line at Miraval Resort Spa in Arizona. During this time, Kelli has evolved and transformed her 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). Kelli recently traveled to England to study with Karen Gilbert of Fragrant Alchemy, where she learned more about developing accords while working with industry standard perfumery materials.

Founder Profile
who am I?
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 used creative writing as my outlet, but when I had writer’s block, I needed to find other ways to channel that energy. Hence, I began developing natural skincare products and fragrances, and that is 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
future goals
meeting Heretic Founder (Douglas Little) and watching him blend something
never spill another bottle of rose absolute again!
