What do the numbers on the perfumes mean?

Our STORIES are numbered and not named to remove any preconceptions that we may have around notes and ingredients. Due to her own discovery whilst learning the art of perfumery, STORIES Founder, Tonya Kidd-Beggs found that we all have learned behaviours around our sense of smell. Her own experience being so powerful she developed a passion to teach others how to develop their sense of smell and connect the aroma with their own story. Therefore, she focus' on emotion and memory over notes.

What to try: Spritz on your skin first BEFORE you familiarise yourself with the perfume profile. Be aware of your own scent story emerging through colour, shape, feeling and memory.

Do you do refills?

What is the Sustainable Outlet?

Sustainability has been at the core of our brand since the outset.

The juice remains the same quality, it is only the packaging that is different.
