STORIES Nº.02 Eau de Parfum 15ml

Warm · Spiced · Woody

STORIES Nº.02 opens warm and spiced — bergamot lifting into Bulgarian rose, the heat of ginger and cardamom softened by a cool breath of green tea. From that radiant opening an opulent heart unfolds: vibrant cedarwood and patchouli, honeyed tobacco smouldering at its centre, sprinkled with tonka bean and the resinous depth of opoponax. As it settles, the fragrance reveals its soul — enchanting amber, rich musk, creamy sandalwood and the slow sweetness of vanilla. An invitation to walk among the flowers and recover what has been lost.

Opening

• Bergamot — bright citrus with a bitter green edge; more elegant than orange.
• Bulgarian Rose — deep, honeyed and faintly spiced. Far less powdery than a garden rose.
• Ginger — fizzy, warm and clean. Heat without the sweetness of the spice rack.
• Green Tea — cool, leafy and pale. A breath of air that stops the spice turning heavy.
• Cardamom — cool and green with a peppery warmth beneath. It lifts and sharpens.

Heart

• Cedarwood — dry pencil-shaving wood. Clean and structural rather than sweet.
• Patchouli — earthy, damp and dark, with a cocoa-like richness. It grounds the florals.
• Honey Tobacco — cured leaf and dark honey. Smoky-sweet, never ashy.
• Tonka Bean — almond, hay and vanilla. Rounds the dry down without making it a dessert.
• Opoponax — sweet myrrh; balsamic, resinous and faintly liquorice. Depth and shadow.

Dry down

• Amber — warm, soft and resinous. An accord rather than a single material.
• Musk — soft, clean and skin-like. A cruelty-free synthetic that carries the rest.
• Sandalwood — creamy, milky wood. Soft and rounded; the warmth people call comforting.
• Vanilla — slow, sweet and resinous. Comfort, and usually the last thing to fade.

It will never smell quite the same on any two people. Skin chemistry is unique, so STORIES Nº.01 evolves differently on every wearer.

Apply STORIES Nº.02 to warm pulse points including your wrists, neck, behind the ears and inner elbows. These naturally warm areas help diffuse the fragrance throughout the day.

For longer-lasting wear, apply after moisturising your skin with the matching STORIES Nº.02 Hand & Body Lotion as part of your fragrance layering ritual.

Avoid rubbing your wrists; although it’s a common habit, rubbing your wrists together can disrupt the fragrance’s natural development. Allow the perfume to dry naturally so every note unfolds as intended.

STORIES Nº.02 was created by founder Tonya Kidd-Beggs. Finishing the second fragrance took her to a single instant from before the trauma: a garden, her father and her grandfather, the two men who loved her most. The trauma had told her she was unloved and unprotected. The memory proved otherwise.

Days in her grandfather’s garden were spent among his plants — rose bushes standing among orange trees, pots of patchouli lining the patio. The scent of the stream drew her barefoot into the water, under the watchful gaze of her father and grandfather, their faces obscured by tobacco pipe smoke. STORIES Nº.02 is an invitation to walk among the flowers, shed your shoes at the river, and recover that which has been lost.
