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.

Cathedral sold out fast yesterday and we hope you love it if you got one! I know our limited edition batches are evasive but we work hard to keep the over 80 items we manufacture in-house stocked.

Cathedral is an aromatic recreation of the Catholic Ash Wednesday Mass. A stone cathedral is filled with antique wood, flickering candles, and glowing stained glass windows. A brass thurible releases the aromatic smoke of frankincense, myrrh, and benzoin incense. A cross of palm leaf ash is drawn on the forehead with a vow to repent and sacrifice.

Happy New Moon 🖤

We have more antique perfume bottles on the way, and will begin putting them out next week (available in-store only). It can be so hard to find things that are made as well as antique items, so I make a point to hunt for pieces that make gorgeous and unique gifts.

The Strawberry Blossom soap will be back on Thursday 🖤

The perfect match for this seasonal shift.

NEW TO OUR LINE - First released earlier this year as a Limited Edition.

This perfume is unlike anything else we have in our line. We use some specialty materials to create a very different scent profile that goes further into the dimension of texture. Most of our scents are smooth, rounded, and in some cases complex waves of peaks and valleys, but this one has a roughness; a spiky aura with an attitude. The scent is crisp, clean, easy to wear, and energizing.

SALT MINE is an essence of shimmering minerals in the still air of a deeply buried ancient sea bed. A sheer opening of citrus and fresh cypress recreate the clean air as you enter the caverns of sculpted Halite. The crystalline walls imprint the atmosphere with a refined texture that evaporates slowly into a dry underground of amyris and ambergris.

Notes:
sea minerals / cypress / citrus / amyris / ambergris

November conjures a cabin in the forest with Lapsang Souchong tea brewing on a wood-burning stove. Fallen leaves nestle into the earth and mushrooms sprout across thee damp forest floor. A chord of resins create a sweet aura reminiscent of the air after a cool, rainy morning.

main notes and accords:
woods / forest floor / rain / tea / decomposing leaves

First batch released in 2011

Favorite season in a place filled with ghosts.

10/21/2025

We are down to the last few 12mL bottles- sorry these are not lasting longer! We are glad this has had such a great response 🖤

A silent, small township of weathered buildings surrounded by abandoned landscapes and a gravel road. A chord of orris, sweetgrass, and cabreuva wood emulates a foggy morning with mountains in the distance. Indoors, a toasty note of coffee imprints the room as if recently occupied, yet no one can be found.

fog / weathered wood / dry grasses / gravel road / coffee

Happy New Moon

It’s Baba Yaga Season 🖤

I’m still always excited to bring these strange concepts to life. And this one is just the right essence for the season 🖤
