Angelique Payne
Founder, Gold Collar Apothecary

I’ve always been drawn to the details that give an experience its character. The scent, the setting, and the feeling you carry away.

My background spans media, storytelling, and brand strategy, with a master’s degree in Public Relations, Innovation, Strategy and Management from USC Annenberg. Across that work, I keep returning to the same question: what makes something meaningful enough to remember?

Gold Collar Apothecary is a personal expression of that curiosity. It brings together my love of fragrance, an editorial eye, and the pleasure of finding something you want to reach for again.

I’m building this collection for people with their own sense of taste. People who enjoy discovering a scent, making it their own, and finding a little indulgence in an ordinary day.

My vision is to offer thoughtfully chosen essentials that feel as good to use as they look on your vanity. Beginning with our original fragrance oils, I’m creating room for discovery and sharing what earns a place in my own rituals.

Thank you for making Gold Collar part of yours.
