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.

I don’t know if it’s the seasonal shift, the cola note, or the 90’s nostalgia hitting right now but 1993 is sliding into everyone’s cart and we are glad it is getting some love 🖤

BALLERINA embodies the ethereal grace of a dancer on pointe, complete with the dark undertones of pain kept below the surface. A thick dusting of rosin coats satin shoes in the heart notes while a soft bouquet of red roses, white carnations, and lilies are carried home.

Late summer is tuberose season and if you are craving it, PERSEPHONE is centered around this seductive floral. The light fruity notes and orris surround the tuberose because if you’re gonna be flirtatious, might as well go all out.

JASMINE TEA has also been added to the lip balm line - Green tea and jasmine is one of those mood shifting combos and I love how this recreates a cool, iced brew.

It’s back- as a perfumed lip balm. We know you’re waiting for the perfume version to be back, and someday we will make a batch, but until then this should keep you indulged🖤

The Persian Love Cake originated in a story of a woman who baked this cake as a love spell to seduce a prince. The balance of sweet lemon icing, decadent rose and pistachio cake, and uplifting cardamom spice are indeed an addictively bewitching combination. Notes of bitter almond and vanilla finish this delicious gloss that imprints every kiss.

This lip balm is made from scratch in our studio. The base is heavy in beeswax, cocoa butter, and shea butter for moisture and protection. It arrives wrapped in a small envelope with a descriptive art card.

The 20mL bottles are available to ship again now that the heat wave has settled down- hoping we will not have to remove them again this summer!
Some things to know about heat and shipping our perfume:
- short-term high temperatures will not ruin the perfume, but long term temperature controlled storage is essential.
- we do not have a warehouse or fulfillment center. We store and ship everything from our studio, which is air conditioned. The Rosehip Elixir is refrigerated before shipping.
- To ensure none of the lightest top notes escape, if your bottle arrives warm from heat, allow it to fully cool before opening.

This perfume captures the harvest of aromatic nightshades ripening in a summer garden. A fresh opening of bell pepper laced with sweet basil and tarragon slowly darkens into a deep green accord of solanine and tomato tar. The resinous dry down reveals the strangely narcotic scent of bitter nightshade leaves.
