Story Telling
The STORIES Parfums fragrance house was born as a testament of the power of fragrance and to the stories which have shaped my own life. Fragrance has always been a way for us to connect with who we are and what matters to us and by sharing our fragrances we hope to give people the space to stop and connect with either their past, their present or even dream for their future. The actual inspiration for each fragrance comes by working on how we feel on the day. We do not have an idea or a strategy where our perfumes are concerned. Everything comes to life as we work, much like an artist who paints a painting. It is an expression, an art, what we like to call the art of perfumery.
FROM us, WITH LOVE
Being from Northern Ireland has also most definitely shaped our fragrances and bodycare. STORIES was born and resides on the North Down rugged coastline with the most exquisite landscapes which bring a breath of fresh air and a place for relaxation. These combine with woody, green, and evocative scents of the forest, and floral, herbaceous scents of the hedgerows and meadows. They are the scents of our childhoods and have helped to intuitively create our fragrances.
The Opening Chapter
We decided to share STORIES Nº.01 and Nº. 02 with the world in the hope that you too may connect with your own STORY past, present and future. The Olfactory System It should not have been a surprise that fragrance reconnected us to our childhoods as scientific studies confirm that there is a connection between scent and memory. The olfactory bulb recognises smells and is part of the limbic system, responsible for our emotions and the formation of memories.
