Ghost Stories Parfums Kraken

The legends are true.

Sailors and mariners of old told tales of a monstrous creature that made its home in the briny depths, a beast big enough to tear the mightiest ships apart.

Many would call it nothing but an old sailor's story.

Ghost Stories Parfums is an independent fragrance house in Utah Valley. Kelton had collected fragrance for many years and wanted highly themed gothic and folklore-inspired fragrances for a personal collection. The house began as a concept in the summer of 2024, and from that idea Kelton studied the craft alone. Kade joined, and their first batch went to friends, family and local customers at the farmers' market.

Every release starts from a spooky tale, a legend, a myth or a piece of folklore, and each is built to be narrative-driven and wearable. The formulas are original. The fragrances are made from naturals and synthetics, at extrait concentration as a rule. The batches are small, crafted by hand and matured for at least three weeks before they leave. Folklore and legend are the medium, inherited stories that shift, fracture and endure, and through fragrance they are used to explore memory. A fragrance can bring back something long buried, a place, a season, a presence.
