Janey Ganson
Janey Ganson founded My Daughter Fragrances, the independent perfume house based in Alberta, Canada. Her path into fragrance began with a background in social sciences rather than formal perfumery training, a detail that gives her work an instinct for connection and storytelling. As owner and creative force behind the brand, she has shaped it into an intimate, independent enterprise often described as an eco-luxe fragrance house. The company's headquarters, affectionately known as the Perfume Barn, reflects Ganson’s hands-on spirit and close connection to the craft. Her work has also reached beyond Canada, with ties to Grasse lending the label an international perspective while preserving its personal character.

How Janey composes
Ganson’s style favors evocative compositions with an eco-luxe sensibility, drawing the wearer toward recognizable natural notes and carefully judged contrasts. Citrus, florals, woods and aromatic accents provide the framework for scents that feel polished yet personal. Her close association with Grasse adds a foundation of classic perfumery knowledge, while the Alberta setting informs a more earthy, independent character. At My Daughter Fragrances, she treats each creation as an opportunity to communicate, using fragrance to suggest affection, familiarity and warmth. The result is a house built on clarity of mood and a distinctly personal relationship with its audience.
Philosophy
What drives Janey
Ganson approaches fragrance as a personal expression rather than a formula built for mass appeal. Under her direction, My Daughter Fragrances combines independent authorship with an emphasis on natural materials and responsible luxury. The brand’s emotional premise gives each scent a sense of family, memory and place, qualities that suit her background in social sciences and her eye for human stories. Rather than chasing spectacle, Ganson builds fragrance around intimacy: a mood, a relationship, an atmosphere. Her independent position allows the house to retain a recognizable voice and a close relationship with the people who wear its creations.
