The house’s story

From Borneo to New York

Founder Elizabeth Gaynes’s work with agarwood plantations in Borneo introduced her to oud and ingredient sourcing. Strangelove launched in 2014, bringing that fascination with materials into a New York perfume house devoted to handcrafted composition.

Darkness can feel tender; floral detail can emerge from deep wood. Discover a collection that encourages attention to these contrasts, finding beauty in textures that feel at once unfamiliar and deeply personal.
