IG These scents meld with the skin and stay close to the wearer.

Since 2009, For Strange Women has created perfume exclusively from plant aromatics. We source beautiful plant extracts from around the world and value sustainable practices. Botanical perfume can provide the spirit a connection to nature, the mind comfort, and the body an influence to calm or energize. We know that natural essences in just the right arrangement can transport the wearer to another

time and place. These compositions are designed to create an experience that is beyond sensory aesthetics; conjuring memories from natural landscapes, experiences, and atmospheres remembered deep within the subconscious. Although mainstream culture presents perfume as a cosmetic to conceal other scents or to make us more attractive, we seek instead to create a sensory ritual that provides a connection to nature through its ability to communicate with our senses. We find natural perfume to be genderless and feel that the scent signature of our skin should be complemented, not hidden. Most of all, For Strange Women perfume is intended be worn as a personal indulgence and source of inspiration. For those who are normally allergic to perfume, this is typically a reaction to the chemicals hidden inside synthetic fragrances. We find natural plant oils to be safer and more satisfying to the senses. The complex scent arrangements evolve as they are worn and fade gracefully throughout the day.

The Recluse invites you into a world of creature comforts; a large mug of coffee with cream, cozy blankets embedded with the warm spices of baked goods, and rows of vintage books lining the walls. She may never come out of hiding in this perfect nest of seclusion.

Another New Moon arrives Friday, along with another limited edition perfume 🖤
This is one that I would normally save for autumn, but the theme is along the lines of many requests; a strange gourmand. I don’t usually go for traditional gourmands so I decided to incorporate an accord of antique books. Do they work together? You can find out Friday.

PETRICHOR is the classic essence of the ground after it rains. Geosmin is released from dry soil when it is permeated with rain, the moisture then evaporating to fill the air with an earthy sweetness. Humidity holds the calming essence of the surrounding trees as the rain dries from the leaves.

A note because we have a limited quantity at the time:
As a business that sources materials produced around the world, we have been experiencing many supply chain disruptions. We apologize that this batch is more limited than we wanted it to be, and we do hope we can make more at some point in the future. We love making perfume and will do everything possible to continue this work but please keep in mind we have been limited this past year with logistics challenges.

Happy New Moon 🖤 the limited edition perfume is SOLARIUM

Solarium brings you into the enclosed glass garden, filled with trapped sunlight and humid air holding the scent of deep green leaves. Potted gardenias and lemon trees bloom amongst a collection of exotic orchids, creating a vivid green floral accord above a backdrop of palms and ferns.

It’s a Full Moon and we are back with a new accord of
SENCHA

Sencha is the most loved Japanese green tea- the leaves are steamed to maintain a buttery soft, umami profile with a vegetal, grassy flavor. This accord captures the essence of a freshly brewed vivid green cup.

Our Accord Extraits are at the highest wearable concentration (30-45%) so that they can be worn sparingly or used to layer lightly into any other scent.

Happy LUNAR NEW YEAR
I love to start the year with something light and uplifting (before diving into dark and moody) so here is the perfumers choice for this season:

SUSHI BAR

Sushi Bar greets you with the familiar elements of this place of comfort. As you enter, fresh overtones of ginger, yuzu and sudachi greet you with clean, uplifting overtones. As the scent evolves you may notice notes of a polished wood counter, chilled rice, dried nori, and shiso leaf. Small ceramic vessels of sake and green tea smooth the base of this delicate essence while striking a balanced perfection.

Ginger / Green tea / Sudachi / Rice / Shiso / Wood
