Sammy Brown

I'm a qualified makeup artist and fragrance advisor based in Auckland, with over five years of experience in beauty and fragrance retail. My expertise lies in consultative selling, customer engagement, and product storytelling—especially in the realm of Middle Eastern perfumery, which I’m passionate about. I take pride in helping clients discover their signature scent and look, combining technical skill with a warm, personalized approach. Outside of retail, I’m a creative soul with a love for handmade crafts, including crochet and clothing design. Whether I’m building a portfolio, crafting compelling fragrance descriptions, or exploring new career paths, I bring dedication, artistry, and a deep commitment to excellence.

My expertise includes consultative selling, customer engagement, and product storytelling. I’ve built a reputation for helping clients discover their signature scent and look through personalized service and deep product knowledge. In addition to my retail background, I bring creative flair through my craftsmanship in crochet and handmade clothing, reflecting a strong entrepreneurial spirit and attention to detail. I’m currently focused on expanding my portfolio, exploring freelance opportunities, and building meaningful industry connections.
