Founded in 2015 by Kanako Mori, L’Atelier K is a distinctive image consulting service dedicated to helping individuals and corporate clients enhance both their personal and professional presence. With a background in chemistry and perfumery, combined with a deep passion for the arts, Kanako Mori offers a fresh perspective on image consulting. Having lived in culturally diverse cities such as Tokyo, London, Paris, and now Singapore, her approach is rooted in a cross-cultural understanding of style and the use of multiple senses to create lasting impressions.
From Perfumer to Image Consultant
Kanako Mori began her career in the field of perfumery, fulfilling her dream of becoming a perfumer. After studying chemistry and honing her skills in France, she had the unique opportunity to work as a trainee perfumer in Singapore. However, after facing challenges in the perfume industry, she reevaluated her career path and rekindled an early passion for image consulting—a field that aligned with her artistic inclinations and love for beauty, color, and creativity.
Her transition from perfumery to image consulting enabled her to shift her focus from her sense of smell to her visual senses. This change provided new opportunities for self-expression and personal transformation. Kanako now incorporates her background as a perfumer to introduce a unique sensory approach to image consulting, sometimes using fragrance as an additional layer of personal style.
The Connection Between Fragrance and Personal Image
Though Kanako’s work as a perfumer and an image consultant may appear unrelated, she discovered a subtle connection between the two fields: the use of senses to create impactful experiences. In her perfumery work, she relied on her olfactory senses to craft fragrances, while in image consulting, she uses visual senses to help clients discover their best look. For Kanako, personal image transcends fashion; it involves creating the right impression using all available tools.
In her consulting practice, Kanako often uses fragrance to help clients envision how their overall style can extend beyond what they see in the mirror. By engaging their sense of smell, clients can explore new dimensions of personal expression that complement their visual appearance. Additionally, Kanako conducts workshops on perfume education, allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of fragrance complexities and how it can become an integral part of their personal style.
A Tailored Approach to Image Transformation
At L’Atelier K, Kanako adopts a highly personalized approach when working with clients, whether individuals or corporations. For individual clients, the process starts with a detailed style survey designed to understand their personality, preferences, and challenges.
Following this, Kanako conducts color and body analysis to examine how different colors and clothing cuts enhance the client’s unique features. Consultations may also include personalized shopping sessions, wardrobe organization, and collaboration with hairstylists and makeup artists to achieve a full transformation.
In the corporate realm, Kanako often teaches employees how to navigate business casual dress codes or conducts team-building workshops focused on color analysis. These sessions equip corporate clients to present themselves more professionally while staying true to their personal style. Through her workshops, Kanako educates teams on how to strike the right balance between professionalism and individuality, making her consultations both practical and enjoyable.
