The notes are finally here. 📖🔥
Meet Slow Burn: Stern Brunch Daddy, Chapter 4 of the Romance Readers Collection.
Warm, rich, a little spicy, and just the right amount of sweet. Think cozy mornings, lingering glances, and the kind of slow-burning romance that keeps you turning pages long past bedtime. ☕🤎
And yes, this is the fragrance that started the entire Romance Readers Collection!
✨ Launching TOMORROW, October 9 at 10 AM ET.
Which note are you most excited about? 👀

Chapter Four is almost here. 🔥
Meet SLOW BURN — Stern Brunch Daddy, the fourth chapter in the Romance Readers Collection.
A little darker. A little moodier. And very different from the chapters that came before.
Arriving Friday, October 9 at 10 AM ET.
Scent notes tomorrow. ☕📚
Fairy Frosting is back in stock today—with a little new magic. 🧚🍋✨
Over the next several months, I’ll be reformulating the remaining non-vegan perfumes in the Stardust & Stems collection as I work toward making the entire line vegan.
For most scents, the changes will be barely noticeable. Fairy Frosting is a little different.
While reformulating her, I took the opportunity to rework the fragrance more extensively because I was never completely satisfied with the original—and in my opinion, she’s better in just about every way.
All of the notes you know are still here, but the balance has shifted. The prominent pink peppercorn of the original is now more of a soft sparkle in the background, while the fragrance itself is creamier, smoother and brighter—almost like a light, creamy lemon bar. 🍋
The new formula also has improved longevity and projection while keeping the airy, whipped vanilla gourmand heart of Fairy Frosting.
The Fairy Frosting spray formula restocked today is the new vegan formula and is what I’ll be making going forward. Existing rollerballs are still the original formula and will remain available while supplies last.
Same fairy. A little new magic. ✨

Before there was a Romance Readers Collection, there was Stern Brunch Daddy.
In fact, this perfume—and the very specific romance-novel archetype behind it—was part of what inspired me to create the collection in the first place.
And now he’s finally getting his chapter.

The Goblin Market is OPEN. 🍂✨
Goblin Market arrived today, and I am absolutely overwhelmed by the response already. Thank you so, so much for welcoming this strange little perfume into the world. 💛
Inspired by Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market, this earthy fig gourmand begins green and earthy before softening into golden honeycomb sweetness.
🌿 Sun-Warmed Fig Leaf • Honeycomb
🍯 Smoked Vanilla Pods • Brandy-Soaked Fig Flesh
🌙 Golden Amber • Velvet Woods
And a little goblin lore: figs hide their tiny flowers inside themselves—which somehow makes them feel like exactly the sort of fruit the goblins would sell.
“Figs to fill your mouth”
— Christina Rossetti, Goblin Market (1862)
The market is open. ✨
