Itiel McVay is the chief operating officer and mixologist of Smell Goods ‘98. In 1998, after hearing her husband’s idea of becoming purveyors of oils and incense, Itiel moved forward with the idea and has made the creative side of the product line what it is today. Over the years Itiel has honed her bath and body knowledge and creative skills. Itiel stays abreast on the latest cosmetic trends, body care treatments, and the pros and cons of cosmetic ingredients.
Itiel is also an active member of online crafting communities, online indie business communities, and networking communities for women. Since childhood, Itiel’s life has centered around a healthy way of living. Mixing up goodness for beautiful conditioned skin and educating others about the Smell Goods ’98’s line, comes naturally to Itiel. Itiel’s creative inspiration comes from gourmet desserts and gourmet beverages.
Itiel is a home-school mother and resides in Charlotte, with her husband and their two children.
