PERFUMES
WHAT ARE BOOK INSPIRED PERFUMES?
Our book inspired perfumes are handcrafted scents designed to reflect the essence of characters, stories and moods from beloved books.
ARE YOUR PERFUMES NATURAL?
Most of our perfumes are crafted with 100% natural essential oils for a pure, plant-based scent experience. Some blends may include high-quality, skin-safe synthetic fragrances to achieve unique or long-lasting notes. All ingredients are clearly listed on each product label for your peace of mind. We use fractionated coconut oil as our carrier oil - lightweight, natural, and nourishing for the skin. As with all topical products, we recommend performing a patch test before full use.
ARE YOUR PERFUMES HANDMADE?
Yes! Each of our perfumes is handcrafted in small batches to ensure the highest quality, freshness, and attention to detail.
What size are your perfume bottles?
Our perfume bottles are 10mL roll on bottles.
Are your perfumes vegan and crulety free?
Yes! All of our perfume ingredients are vegan and cruelty free.
How long do the scents last?
Longevity varies depending on the scent and your skin chemistry, but most of our perfumes last between 4–5 hours.
How do I store my perfume?
Store your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the scent’s quality.
Will my perfume come with the book it’s inspired by?
Some of our perfumes are specifically paired to a certain book. All books that are stocked here at Aura & Alchemy come with their very own perfume. Shop our books here and our perfumes here.
Can authors collaborate with you on a custom scent for their book?
Absolutely! We love collaborating with indie authors. You can click here to express your interest and we’ll be in touch to explore the magic together.
