Personal background:
I began my career as a member of the Flying Fruit Fly circus (age 6) in Albury/Woodonga. After finishing with them at 16 I fled to Sydney to become even more fabulous working as a hairdresser and stylist. Quite by accident I fell in love (in the 80's ... such bad hair) and moved to Brisbane, and have been back and forth from Sydney ever since. Returning for good this time, I've found my true love and passion ... Libertine.
I most feel like a Babe when
I smell like a Babe (not the pig).
 Adrian Barker I love coming to work each day because
It is seriously the most wonderous and beautiful store to be in!
I knew I wanted to be a perfumer
From the day I was born because the smell of the hospital made me feel cheap.
The one thing that got me where I am in my career today was
ME!
I feel most challenged in my career when
Another cheap celebrity scent is released.
I feel most successful in my career when
I get a wonderful response from my clients.
The highlight of my career has been
Meeting Kylie Minogue ... she is amazing!
If I wasn't a perfumer
I'd be a glassy at Jo-Jo's.
The best piece of advice I have ever received was
"Love you mum"!
Next on my professional agenda is
To create an amazing fragrance that brings people to their knees (ala "Perfume").
To me, work/life balance means
Everything in moderation.
In ten years time I hope to be
As happy as I am right now.
I relax by
Chillin' with friends, cooking, eating, laughing and drinking beautiful wine.
The best holiday I ever had
Is yet to come.
My greatest love is
Perfume!
My favourite time of day is
WINE TIME!
Something that makes me really happy is
WINE TIME!
Something that makes me really mad is
NO WINE TIME!
I treasured my childhood because
I spent most of it in the circus (the Flying Fruit Fly Circus) ... what kid doesn't want to run away with the circus!
The most interesting person I ever met was
Mark Trevorrow (aka Bob Downe).
My biggest regret in life is
Thinking about the biggest regret in my life.
My greatest achievement is
Still to come ...
Peace and out x
