Ilsa Manning is a mother, founder, fragrance designer, author and your biggest cheerleader.
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona she adventured to Europe after graduating with a BA in History from the University of Arizona. She lived in France, Poland and England; she au paired, taught ESL, graduated with an MA in Modern History from Royal Holloway, University of London, and finally found her calling in fragrance while working at the largest fragrance and flavor supplier in the world.
Ilsa returned home to Phoenix with a husband in hand and a drive to pursue all things fragrance and, after an epiphanic awakening sparked by her new daughter’s love for her, Ilsa found self-belief for the first time in her life. Now her mission is to bring this same awakening to all women out there through her luxury fine fragrance brand Ilsa Fragrances.
She is a contributing author to the 2023 Amazon best selling anthology Deserts to Mountaintops: Our Collective Journey to (re)Claiming Our Voice.
You can find her, her empowering fragrances and positive messages at ilsafragrances.com, on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter @ilsafragrances, and Instagram @ilsamanning. She currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her English husband, two daughters and dog that looks suspiciously like a coyote.
