SUSTAINABILITY VALUES
SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS
We are honoured to have most recently WON Beauty, Health & Wellness - Home Fragrances Award for our STORIES Bougie Parfumée Perfumed Candle Trio in the MARIE CLAIRE SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS 2023! We are delighted to also have been awarded, Highly Commended for Best Sustainable Fragrance Brand 2022 and Best Sustainable Packaging - Fragrance 2021 in the Marie Claire UK Sustainability Awards.
"I believe passionately in beauty without boundaries. Right from the concept of STORIES it was hugely important to me to create a luxury fragrance house that came from traditional perfumery methods and ancient craftsmanship but with the ethos of a thoroughly modern brand. At the very core of the brand I wanted to carry a deep respect for the planet we live on - I want to make sure that the place we call home does not simply survive but thrives. I am thrilled. grateful and honoured that in the infancy of STORIES we have been recognised and awarded Highly Commended for Best Sustainable Packaging in the fragrance world 2021 and now I couldn't be more proud, for the second year in a row, to be awarded Highly Commended for Best Sustainable Fragrance Brand in the Marie Claire UK Sustainability Awards 2022. For those of you on this journey you will be well aware this is not an easy process, especially for an independent brand and I cannot thank Marie Claire enough that we have received this award and to be recognised for our efforts."
