Today we’d like to introduce you to Sharma Hill.
Hi Sharma , it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My story is one shaped by resilience, motherhood, and the belief that healing can become something beautiful. Aroma Journey was inspired by my daughter, her strength, creativity, and the way she sees the world and created in memory of my son, whose light continues to guide me in everything I do. They are the heart of this brand.
Fragrance has always been my quiet language. Scents held my memories, my comfort, and my connection to the people I love. During a season of deep transition and personal rebuilding, I found myself blending oils at my kitchen table as a way to reconnect with joy. What started as a personal ritual slowly revealed itself as a calling.
My daughter encouraged me to share my gift, and my son’s legacy gave me the courage to build something meaningful. When I hosted my first fragrance bar activation, I realized Aroma Journey was more than a creative idea, it was an experience people were craving. Guests weren’t just choosing scents; they were sharing stories, unlocking memories, and creating new ones. I saw how fragrance could bring people together in a way that felt intimate, emotional, and unforgettable.
From there, Aroma Journey grew organically. Word of mouth, community support, and a commitment to intentional, luxury‑level service opened doors to weddings, wellness events, corporate gatherings, and celebrations across Austin, Dripping Springs, and Greater Houston. I invested in my craft, completed entrepreneurial incubators, refined my brand voice, and expanded into Aroma Journey Scent Solutions to offer custom fragrance products and sensory branding.
Today, Aroma Journey is a tribute to my children and a reflection of my own rebirth. It is a space where scent becomes storytelling, where healing becomes artistry, and where every experience is crafted with purpose. My journey hasn’t been linear, but it has been deeply meaningful, and every step has led me to the work I’m blessed to do today.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Building Aroma Journey has been incredibly rewarding, but it hasn’t been a smooth road. Like many new entrepreneurs, I had to learn how to build a brand from the ground up while refining my services, establishing my identity, and earning trust in a niche industry where consistency and experience matter.
One of the biggest challenges has been finding loyal, reliable people who truly support the vision. In this type of work, every detail matters, and not everyone understands the level of professionalism, preparation, and intentionality required to deliver a luxury‑level sensory experience. Learning who aligns with my standards and who doesn’t have been a major part of the process.
Another challenge has been navigating the business side of creativity. Pricing, inventory, logistics, and event flow all had to be built from scratch. There’s no blueprint for launching a fragrance‑based experiential brand, so much of my growth came from trial, refinement, and staying adaptable.
Even with the obstacles, the journey has been incredibly rewarding. Texas has a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and I’ve been fortunate to serve clients not only in Austin and Dripping Springs, but also throughout Greater Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. Each city has its own energy and appreciation for unique experiences, and that has pushed me to elevate my craft and stay committed to excellence.
The challenges helped me strengthen my operations, clarify my brand, and stay rooted in my purpose. The road hasn’t been perfect, but it has shaped me into a more intentional and resilient entrepreneur, and it continues to influence the way I create memorable, sensory‑driven experiences for clients across Texas.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
Absolutely. I’m inspired by resources that deepen my understanding of fragrance, creativity, and the sensory experience especially those connected to Texas makers, artisans, and entrepreneurs.
I love exploring books that focus on the art of perfumery and scent creation. Titles like The Essence of Perfume and The Secret of Scent help me stay connected to the craft behind what I do. They remind me that fragrance is both science and storytelling, and they push me to keep elevating the Aroma Journey experience.
I also follow Texas‑based creators, makers, and small‑business communities. Austin, Houston, and Dallas have incredible networks of artisans and entrepreneurs who share their journeys, challenges, and creative processes. Their stories keep me motivated and remind me that Texas is full of people building meaningful brands from the ground up.
For inspiration, I enjoy podcasts that highlight Southern and Texas entrepreneurship conversations about building brands with heart, serving communities, and creating experiences that feel personal. Hearing how other Texas founders navigate growth and creativity helps me stay grounded and intentional in my own work.
I also use fragrance‑focused blogs and resources that explore scent families, blending techniques, and the emotional connection behind fragrance. These tools help me refine my craft and ensure that every Aroma Journey experience feels thoughtful, luxurious, and unforgettable.
All of these resources from perfumery books to Texas‑based creative communities help me stay aligned, inspired, and committed to bringing elevated sensory experiences to clients across Austin, Dripping Springs, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.
