Yes. We do not test on animals, we do not work with any third party that does, and we do not sell to any country that requires animal testing.

Yes. STORIES fragrances are not assigned a gender. They are worn by anyone who appreciates fine fragrance.

Every STORIES fragrance is numbered rather than named. A name tells you what to expect before you have worn it, and carries the preconceptions we all have about notes and ingredients. A number leaves the story to you.

Tonya discovered this while learning perfumery in Grasse. Choosing notes blind, by instinct rather than by name, is what brought her lost childhood memories back. STORIES puts emotion and memory before notes for the same reason.

What to try: wear it on your skin before you read the profile. Notice what comes to you, whether a colour, a shape, a feeling or a memory. Then read the notes and see how they compare.

Yes. Every STORIES Eau de Parfum is refillable. Through Return to Refill, we collect your bottle and return it refilled. You can also refill at home with our perfume duo and pipette. Refillability is built into every new product we develop.

Sustainability has been part of STORIES from the start. When we introduced new, more sustainable packaging, we did not want the original stock to go to landfill, so it is offered at a lower price. The fragrance is exactly the same; only the packaging differs.

STORIES is an independent fragrance house owned by its founder, Northern Irish entrepreneur Tonya Kidd-Beggs.

Every STORIES fragrance is composed by our founder, Tonya, and curated in Grasse. Our Hand & Body Collection is a bespoke formulation, created as the foundation for the fragrance.

Our fragrance tips page explains how to store your fragrance. Stored correctly, a STORIES fragrance continues to age well in its bottle, much like a fine wine.

We accept payments via PayPal, Clearpay, Klarna and all major credit and debit cards.
