Philip Goutell

FrankBush.com is a retail outlet for fragrances I create for my company, Lightyears, Inc. We are located in the Hudson Valley, in Maybrook, New York, at 935 Homestead Avenue.

The fragrances are my personal creations

I create perfume for my pleasure and to give pleasure to others. Like all creators of perfume, I have many half finished and almost finished formulas that will forever remain locked away in my personal notebooks. These scents, many of which are intriguing to me personally, have been declared in my judgement "not quite right" for public presentation.

The handful of perfumes that appear on this website are my "selects" — scents the pleasures of which I feel comfortable sharing with you.

Men's fragrances

Recently I moved my men's fragrances to our new website, PGLightyears.com and they can be found there.

Composition

In creating fragrances I use both natural aroma materials and modern synthetics as well as specialty bases. My "philosophy" of fragrance composition is to focus on the scent I have envisioned and wish to achieve. I use what works, it's as simple as that. I love this planet as much as anyone but classic scents and "forbidden" aroma materials are my illicit pleasure.

Our other websites

In addition to this website, my "retail store" my company, Lightyears, Inc., also offers creative and business assistance to would-be perfumers and perfume marketers through our Perfume Projects website. Various other information and ideas relating to perfume can be found at our Bio-Byte website.
