Born from Scent, Memory and Emotion
Some memories don't leave. They wait for the right scent.
At a young age, Tonya Kidd-Beggs lost her childhood memories to trauma. Years later, studying perfumery in Grasse, fragrance began to unlock what had been lost — fragments returning slowly, as scent reached places nothing else could. STORIES was born from that discovery.
Bougie Parfumée
An industry first
210g of fragrance, composed as three
A standard luxury candle holds around 190g of wax and a single accord. The Candle Trio holds the structure of a fragrance: top, heart and base, each individually poured and composed of up to thirteen notes. Light one for a single layer, or all three for a complete composition.
Hand & Body Collection
The foundation for fragrance
A light veil of fragrance, carried through to the skin. Wear it beneath your Eau de Parfum to layer, or on its own when you would rather be lightly scented than perfumed.
Return to Refill
Never replaced, only returned to
Your bottle is made to stay with you. When it's empty, refill it at home, or return it to STORIES HQ. We clean it, replace the label and refill it by hand, so it comes back to you as new. Kept, not discarded.
THE JOURNAL
Eight years of STORIES Parfums: a founder's story
How Northern Ireland's first luxury niche fragrance house began, what scent gave back to its founder, and where STORIES is going after eight years. A letter from Tonya Kidd-Beggs.
Every other fragrance house tells you what you are about to smell. Why STORIES bottles carry numbers instead — and how to smell blind at home.
The four families, the three tiers, and where STORIES Nº.01 and STORIES Nº.02 sit — for anyone who wants to understand what they are smelling rather than simply like it.
