Our Journey as an Independent Fragrance House And What the Future Holds

At STORIES Parfums, every chapter of our story has been written slowly and carefully, with intention. As an independent fragrance house, we don’t have the vast resources of global beauty conglomerates. What we do have is freedom — the freedom to create perfumes, candles, and bodycare that reflect artistry, authenticity, and sustainability.

Our growth has been slower, more organic, but it has always been true to who we are. Each fragrance we release, each candle we hand-pour, and each story we tell exists because of you — our customers, our STORIES family.


Why Being Independent Matters

The world of fragrance is dominated by large houses. They release new products each season, powered by huge advertising budgets. By contrast, independent perfume houses like ours move differently:

  • We create niche fragrances with rare and responsibly sourced ingredients.
  • We focus on craftsmanship over speed, ensuring every product is worthy of its place in your life.
  • We remain committed to sustainable luxury — from soy wax candle trios to refillable bottles and eco-friendly packaging.


Looking Back on Our Story

In just a few years, STORIES has grown from a single idea into a luxury niche fragrance brand recognised across the UK, Ireland, and internationally.

From STORIES Nº.01 and Nº.02, to our innovative Candle Trio and Hand & Body Collection, each creation has been a milestone and a stepping stone toward something greater.


Our Future Plans

One of my personal goals is to bring you a new fragrance — something truly worthy of standing alongside STORIES Nº.01 and Nº.02. Creating a perfume takes time, patience, and passion. It begins with sourcing the finest raw materials, working with master perfumers, and allowing the scent to evolve until it tells the story it was always meant to tell.

Alongside new fragrances, we are also planning to expand our candle collection, champion sustainability with refillable, eco-conscious packaging, and bring STORIES to more corners of the world through carefully chosen retail partners and independent boutiques.

“You are more than customers — you are collaborators in building a new vision of what a fragrance house can be: independent, authentic, and deeply connected.”

Join Us on the Journey

As we look to the season ahead, our plans are bold but grounded in integrity. A new fragrance, new innovations, and a stronger global presence — all made possible because of you.

We are writing this story together. Thank you for being part of it.

From Tonya, with love x

An Autumn Invitation: Rethinking Fragrance Across the Seasons

Autumn invites us to slow down: cooler mornings, darker evenings, and rituals that steady the day. Many people set citrus aside until spring, but wearing a fragrance “out of season” can rev...
