Napa Fragrance is seeking a warm, confident, and curious individual to join our team for a part-time position with the opportunity to grow into a full-time role. This position is ideal for someone who loves connecting with people, thrives in experiential retail, and is genuinely excited by the world of fragrance.
About the Role
As a Fragrance Associate, you will be the face of Napa Fragrance—welcoming guests into our space, guiding them through our fragrance collections, and leading groups of 2-10 guests through fragrance blending classes with ease and enthusiasm. You’ll help translate our values of clean fragrance formulation and reusable design, while crafting personalized luxury home products to create memorable moments for our customers.
About Napa Fragrance
Napa Fragrance is a home perfumery studio creating fine fragrance for the home. Explore curated fragrances inspired by Napa Valley, or create a custom scent designed uniquely for your home in our downtown Napa boutique.
Rooted in craftsmanship and care, Napa Fragrance values artistry alongside thoughtful, low-waste design. This fall, we will introduce our newest concept: a complete collection designed to be reused, refilled, recycled, and repurposed—encouraging a slower, more intentional relationship with fragrance, meant to be lived with, not rushed.
Napa Fragrance was founded by wine entrepreneur Jean Charles Boisset and design consultant Ashley Pengilly in 2023. The downtown Napa boutique opened in early 2026, with a long term vision to develop a fragrance estate in the heart of Napa Valley.
