DL Jenkins
DL Jenkins grew up between San Diego and San Francisco, shaped by parents whose different backgrounds taught him early that opposing forces could create something richer together. He founded Picture of Fergonz, building his perfumery practice around a dual identity that extends beyond fragrance: he also works as a health coach, approaching scent through an integrative lens that considers how aroma affects the whole person. Jenkins has positioned himself at the intersection of olfactory research and creative authorship, earning recognition as a finalist in the 2025 Olfactory Research and Therapy program at Mouliettedargent. His work with Pictura Fragrans suggests an artist drawn to narrative and image as much as raw material. While still early in his public career, Jenkins brings scientific curiosity and an unconventional background to a field where few come from跨界 training. He is establishing a voice that refuses to separate beauty from wellbeing.

How DL composes
Early indications suggest Jenkins favors layered construction where base and top notes create deliberate tension. His work appears to explore resinous woods, aromatic herbs, and citrus elements that shift across wear time. Given his integrative background, he may incorporate ingredients associated with aromatherapy alongside more traditional perfumery materials. His brand Picture of Fergonz suggests visual storytelling informs his olfactory choices—he likely considers how a fragrance reads as a complete sensory portrait. Jenkins seems to favor restraint over excess, building depth through careful combination rather than ingredient density.
Philosophy
What drives DL
Jenkins treats fragrance as a dialogue between opposing forces, a principle he absorbed from his upbringing in two California cities with parents from different worlds. He approaches scent not as decoration but as a sensory language that can influence mood and cognition. His background in health coaching infuses his perfumery with a therapeutic dimension—he asks what a fragrance does for the person wearing it, not just how it smells. Jenkins gravitates toward compositions that reveal complexity over time, creating fragrances meant to be lived with rather than briefly experienced. He believes the best perfumes change their wearer subtly, becoming part of how they move through the world.
