I’ve always lived in a book.

I don’t remember a time before them. I grew up in the worlds of Scholastic bookfairs, YA romance and fanfiction, eventually finding my permanent home in the unfiltered depths of adult romance. I am a chronic reader, the kind who reads multiple books at once, hoards shelfie trophies, and treats a favorite re-read like a comfort blanket.

I founded Maison of Stories because fragrance, like reading, is a narrative. In the perfume industry, Maison is the French word for house, denoting a dedicated fragrance creator. We are the House of Stories because our ultimate mission is to transport you into your favorite worlds through multi-sensory experiences.

For the romance community, bookish scents were always relegated to the background or mostly limited to one sub-genre and rarely made for us. I wanted something wearable. I wanted fine fragrance that understood the visceral difference between the tension of Enemies to Lovers and the soul-deep pull of Fated Mates.

Maison of Stories is a luxury fragrance and body care house where collections are series, scents are chapters, and launches are publication dates.

But this brand is more than an accessory; it is advocacy. We are built on the DNA of diverse reading, actively prioritizing authors of color, queer voices, and indie creators. Through our Advocacy Collection, we turn scent into action by donating proceeds to nonprofits that champion underrepresented communities.

Currently fueled by late nights and two jobs, this house is built for anyone who has ever closed a book and wished they didn't have to leave.

Welcome to my House.
