Scent Stories for Two is not a perfume-making class but a transformative journey where you and your partner create shared olfactory memories through molecular storytelling. Unlike conventional perfumery that creates products based on preferences, we architect olfactory expressions of who you truly are as individuals and as a pair, preserving your unique identity and connection in molecular form.
While other perfume workshops focus on creating pleasant scents based on what you like, our StoryScenting™ journey focuses on who you are. We use molecular storytelling to translate your authentic identity, memories, and connection into olfactory form. This creates not just a fragrance but a Signature Presence™ that serves as a molecular extension of your shared identity.
Scent Stories for Two is designed for any pair seeking to create a meaningful shared memory through molecular storytelling. This includes friends, family members, colleagues, romantic partners, parent-child duos, siblings, or any two people who share a connection they wish to preserve in olfactory form. The experience is perfect for those who value authentic self-expression and meaningful connection, regardless of the nature of your relationship. It's ideal for celebrating special bonds, commemorating milestones, or simply creating a unique shared experience that goes beyond conventional activities.
The complete Scent Stories for Two journey takes 90-120 minutes. This allows sufficient time for your narrative exploration, molecular discovery, and the creation of your shared olfactory story.
Your journey includes:
1. A guided narrative exploration where we uncover elements of your shared story
2. Molecular discovery where you'll experience and select Identity Molecules™ that resonate with your connection
3. Collaborative creation of your unique Threads™ (narrative elements)
4.Development of your shared olfactory expression
5. Bottling your creation in an embodiment vessel to take home
No prior knowledge is required. In fact, those without preconceptions often have the most transformative experiences. This journey isn't about technical perfumery knowledge but about authentic expression and connection.
You'll take home your co-created molecular narrative in an embodiment vessel (30ml), along with documentation of your journey and the specific Identity Molecules™ and Threads™ that comprise your creation. This serves as both a physical reminder and an olfactory trigger for the memories created during your experience.
For the most meaningful experience:
1. Avoid wearing fragrance on the day of your journey
2. Wear comfortable clothing
3. Come with an open mind and heart
4. Consider meaningful moments in your relationship you might want to explore
5. Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled time to settle in
Just yourselves and an open mind. All materials are provided, including refreshments during your journey.
There's no formal dress code, but we recommend comfortable attire that allows you to be present and focused on the experience rather than concerned with your clothing.
The StoryScenting™ journey uses our curated collection of Identity Molecules™ specifically selected for their ability to translate identity facets into olfactory language. For this reason, we don't incorporate outside materials into the creation process.
The Scent Stories for Two journey is $250 per couple (plus tax), which includes your guided experience, all materials, your 30ml embodiment vessel to take home, and documentation of your journey.

Scent Stories for Two is a traveling experience based in Dallas, TX. We bring our transformative journey to different venues and locations, allowing us to reach more people and create unique experiences in various settings. The specific location details, including venue address, directions, and other important logistics will be provided to confirmed attendees after booking. This mobile approach allows us to create fresh, distinctive experiences tailored to each setting while bringing our unique scent journey to communities across different areas.
Parking information is specific to each venue and will be included in the detailed information package sent to confirmed attendees.

Your creation will be of the highest quality, using the same premium materials found in the finest commercial fragrances. However, what makes your creation special isn't just the materials—it's the process and meaning behind it. We are not creating "essential oils," "body oils," "perfume oils," "dupes," "knock-offs," or "imitations." Your StoryScented fragrance will have the same quality as any commercial or niche fragrance but with significantly more meaning because it's created from your unique story and connection. The difference is in the intention and the process, not in the quality of materials or the final result.
Your creation is crafted with the finest imported materials at a 28-30% concentration, giving it the same lasting power as any quality commercial or niche fragrance. However, what truly sets this experience apart isn't about technical specifications—it's about the story and connection captured in your creation. While your scent will have excellent longevity (typically 8-12 hours depending on your body chemistry), the memories and meaning it contains will last far longer. This workshop focuses not on materials or technical specifications, but on you and your shared story.
Yes. Your formula is documented in our private ledger, allowing you to order refills or larger quantities. Many pairs choose to create their scent annually, documenting how their story evolves over time.
We work with high-quality materials and provide a well-ventilated environment. However, if you have severe sensitivities or allergies, please contact us before booking so we can discuss accommodations or alternatives.
Your scent story is best stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The vessel is designed to preserve your creation for optimal expression.
