What did Los Angeles’ grunge era smell like? Rosie Jane Johnston remembers well. After moving to the city from Sydney in the 1990s, she built a career as a celebrity makeup artist and created Leila Lou as her “calling card.” Little did she know this scent would lead her to launch By Rosie Jane in 2010 as the first clean fragrance brand.
