The story of creating a bespoke perfume for Cinderella

In September 2021, I received a highly unusual request: to create a custom fragrance for a young, beautiful girl plagued by her evil stepmother and two spoiled stepsisters. Her life, a living nightmare, transformed magically when she attended a ball and met her dream prince, marking the beginning of their blissful life together.

Bespoke Fragrance No. 119 was crafted especially for Cinderella.

This collaboration began with the question "What perfume would Cinderella wear before the ball?"

After five days of hard work and 10 samples later, our fairy tale heroine was adorned not only with a stunning dress and crystal shoes but also with an exquisite floral perfume, enveloping her like a delicate veil.

The most challenging part was capturing the atmosphere of the 17th century (the fairy tald wa written in 1697) and encapsulating the joy and excitement before the ball.

We selected luxurious flowers: the sweet-scented Damask rose, rich and elegant jasmine Sambac, and sultry ylang-ylang. To infuse a sense of youth and boldness, we incorporated sparkling citrus notes (bergamot, yellow mandarin), light spices (pink pepper), and berries (black currant). The base notes of amber, beeswax, benzoin, and soft musk are warm and comforting, like a gentle embrace.

Remarkably, you can not only see Cinderella’s perfume in the book but also smell it. The White Owl publishing house sprayed the book pages with our fragrance, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the enchanting fairy tale world.

This Cinderella is undeniably the most fashionable, distinguished by her unique, bespoke perfume.
