Why I Created the STORIES Scent Society

A personal note from Tonya Kidd-Beggs, Founder & CEO of STORIES Parfums

Why I Created the STORIES Scent Society Gatherings

Fragrance has always been deeply personal to me.

Not just in how it smells, but in how it makes us feel — how it can transport us, shift our mood, and reconnect us with memories we thought were long forgotten.

The STORIES Scent Society Gatherings were created from that understanding.

A desire to create space for people to slow down, step away from the noise, and experience fragrance in a more meaningful way.

Why I Created the Scent Society

When I began STORIES, it came from a very personal place — a journey of rediscovery through scent.

Over time, I realised this connection was not just mine.

So many people have shared similar moments with fragrance: a memory triggered, a feeling returning, or a sense of something familiar coming back to them.

The Scent Society was born from that.

Not as an event, but as a gathering.

A place where fragrance becomes a way to connect — not just to scent, but to yourself, and to others.

What Makes These Gatherings Different

These evenings are designed to feel different from a traditional fragrance event.

They are not about rushing, performing, or simply choosing a scent.

They are about experience.

A slower, more considered way of engaging with fragrance — where you are invited to explore, reflect, and discover what truly resonates with you.

What to Expect

Each Scent Society Gathering is hosted in a carefully chosen setting, with time for drinks, canapés, conversation, and guided fragrance discovery.

During the evening, we explore the art of perfumery, how scent evolves on the skin, and how fragrance connects to memory, emotion, and personal story.

No prior knowledge is needed.

Just curiosity.

Who They Are For

These gatherings are for those who are curious about fragrance, who enjoy beautiful spaces, and who want to experience scent in a more personal and thoughtful way.

Many people come alone, and that is exactly how these evenings are designed — welcoming, open, and easy to step into.

Why It Matters

In a world that moves quickly, these gatherings offer a moment to pause.

To reconnect with your senses.

To experience fragrance not just as something you wear, but something you feel.

An Invitation

If this resonates with you, I would love you to join us.

Each gathering is intentionally intimate, with limited places available.

Explore upcoming gatherings and reserve your place here.

Fragrance Layering

Most candles are designed to smell the same from the first burn to the last. Ours are not. At STORIES Parfums, we believe fragrance should behave the way it does on the body — unfolding in stages,...
