Terri Michele Fragrances is the inspiration of Michele Kaplan. A lifelong fragrance aficionado with a very sensitive nose, the mother of three became even more passionate about perfume as her daughters grew independent. Finding a signature scent—light and clean, yet lasting—was an ever-present challenge in a sea of similar, trendy fragrances. Never one to do things timidly, Michele came up with a solution: turning a hobby into a business, she created her own fragrance company.

“A signature fragrance should be unique and magnetic, but the true essence of a woman, rather than a mere spritz from a bottle,” Michele says. “It should be a part of you, worn and noticed as if it comes from within.”

Enter Shenandoah. The scent that launched the company in 2007 is an inviting combination of beautiful notes Michele had fallen in love with, refined, and perfected. It is a clean, aquatic fragrance with classic appeal and superb staying power, just like the woman behind it.

Michele believes that everything in life must be born of sincerity and passion. Her commitment to her company and her customers is three-fold: each scent is a custom blend she herself wears; each is multi-faceted, distinctive, and original, with the power to reflect the spirit of the wearer; each is blended with integrity—and the finest ingredients available.

Discovering the perfect fragrance is Michele’s passion; developing it is her obsession; bringing it to market is her gift to you.
