Meet The Founder of Your Bliss Perfume
Hey, I’m Maddie Burton.
I fell in love with perfumes when I was little, looking at all of the beautiful bottle sitting on my mothers vanity. I could not wait to be old enough to have my own pretty bottles full of the most intoxicating aromas.
It wasn’t until I developed Endometriosis and PCOS that set me on a journey toward living a low tox life.
At first, it was my toothpaste. Then my deodorant. I didn’t realise it at the start. But those beautiful bottles of perfume from Chanel to Dior to Bvlgari on my nightstand were laced with chemicals. When it came time to replace them with a cleaner option, I was stumped. I wanted sophisticated scents that lasted from dusk until dawn. I knew I needed to create them myself.
Your Bliss was born.
We’re continually moving toward the cleanest possible perfume, with higher degrees of naturalness in our products. without compromising on the perfect scent for the perfect occasion.

UPDATED: It will come as no surprise to many that Erin Green was there to hype me up and support me when I mentioned I wanted to start a podcast. It was 2021 when I first launched the podcast, unprepared and unaware of what it really took to host a podcast, but of course Erin was cheering me on telling me I could do whatever it was I wanted to. We set up a 6am Zoom call with microphones from Kmart and the podcast began. As you listen you can clearly tell the Kmart quality microphone was only going to get the podcast so far, but of course Erin was always there cheering me on with great words of wisdom such as "just get yourself started and you will learn and improve as you go". Relaunching the podcast 2 years later I knew that episode 1 would always belong to Erin. If you had the privilege of meeting Erin you would know the kind of person she was and the energy she would bring to every project she was involved in, whether it was her own or someone else's. I am to always bring that Erin energy and enthusiasm to my interviews/podcast episodes to ensure the value Erin added to so many lives, continues to be honoured.
