HOW DO I KNOW WHICH 8 TO CHOOSE?
That's part of the fun! No need to overthink it. With any 8 fragrances you'll be receiving a wide array of character profiles to inhabit. See how each develops on your skin and what kind of personality it pulls out of you. Like in love, even a miss will get you closer to the one you're looking for.
Is 2ml actually enough to judge a fragrance?
Yes. Each vial is 2ml and holds about 40 half spraysβa test strip could never. Fragrance changes the longer itβs on your skin, so let it take its time before you decide anything.
Wait⦠you keep saying fragrance. Are these perfumes or colognes?
Our line is solidly unisex. Despite being factually incorrect, many people still believe perfumes are feminine-leaning while colognes are more masculine-leaning. But books donβt have genders, and neither do our scents. Wear whatever makes you feel like trouble.
Iβve never spent real money on fragrance. Is this where I start?
This is exactly where you start. The Short Story Collection is a low stakes introduction to fine fragrance.
Why not just buy a full bottle?
You will, someday. But a full bottle should be a long love story, not a blind date. Stock up on samples, find the ones you canβt stop sniffing, and buy your first bottle confident in what youβre getting.
Why should I buy today?
We could put a fake countdown timer here, but weβd rather die. The set is $46 today and it will be $46 tomorrow. But if youβve been spending years searching for a fragrance that feels like yours, then you know that βone dayβ has never once smelled like anything.
YOU CAN'T SMELL A WEBSITE
We make fragrances that smell like a lazy day in the sun and waking up next to the one that got awayβbut no amount of copy on this page can prove any of that to you. Scent doesnβt work on the screen the way it works on the skin, and no one can predict which one yours will fall for.
So the Short Story Collection is where our new readers start. Itβs our whole library with first-chapter stakes: $46 and entirely up to you which eight you try.
Benefits of building your own collection
The signature scent is kind of a myth. Between a rainy Tuesday and a Saturday night on the town, you are a dozen different people. Each one deserves its own scent.
By selecting eight, you can explore many moods and vibes to land on the fragrance or two (or dare we say, three) that speak to you the most.
ESPECIALLY CURIOUS?
TRY THEM ALL!
The Complete Works is a deluxe package that comes with all 20 fragrances in our regular line, 1 extra-special surprise sample, a 45 page booklet of art and stories, and a vintage ball-point pen.
