Perfume Making Workshop
Create your own scent with us on August 30th.
"Jasmine Sambac is that intoxicating dizzy feeling you get right before a dream starts." - Joseph Baumauster
Joseph Baumauster, the perfumer behind all of our Story mfg. fragrances, is running a workshop at the London Fields Studio + Shop. Joseph’s process connects with our ethos - his work is shaped by landscapes, grounded in sustainability, and built from rare materials that most perfumers overlook like Mitti Attar, an extract distilled from broken and discarded chai cups using an ancient perfumery technique - and one of the key notes in our first 2 perfumes.
Our perfumes took over a years’ research in the field, applying the same principles we build upon for all our clothing: slow, craft-processes using natural ingredients, always in the most conscientious way possible. In this three-hour workshop, you'll learn about our process, including our stoppers made from deadstock materials, before making your own 15ml scent to take home using our process.
Joseph has the most incredible brain and is a perfume encyclopedia - so bring questions!

Processes & Dyes
Please note that much of our stuff is naturally dyed, and even where it isn’t, we largely use organic dyes where the colour isn’t ‘flat’. There’s almost always variation in tone and colour, both on a single garment and across different ones. Never are two of our things exactly the same (except in quality, where there should be no variation).
We do our best to make the images representative of the colour (after all, colour is our most cherished quality), but the light where we are and the light where you are may be a little different. Some images are taken under studio light, while others may be natural, shot at our dye house or here in our studio, to give the most rounded view.
Hand wash your item with pH neutral soap and cool (or warm to the touch) water and then air dry. Find our detailed care guide here.
Our naturally dyed clothing is coloured with organic materials that behave differently to synthetic dyes. These items may have some smell from the dye process and you may experience some crocking and rub-off when new. Please make sure you are comfortable with this when ordering.
Our retail team are here to help with any questions or queries you may have.
