Welcome to my little perfume studio. ✨
Every Stardust & Stems fragrance begins right here—with beakers, scales, rows of tiny bottles, and a whole lot of trial and error before it ever finds its new home.
I’m Tara, the perfumer behind Stardust & Stems, and every bottle is still blended, bottled, labeled, and packed by hand in my Connecticut studio.
Thank you for being here and supporting handmade perfume. It truly means the world. 💕

📚 The Romance Readers Collection
Five perfumes. Five romance tropes. Five chapters in one unfolding story.
💕 Chapter One: Meet Cute
☕ Chapter Two: Friends to Lovers
🍭 Chapter Three: Second Chance (available now!)
✨ Two more chapters are still to come…
📖 Chapter Four: September 2026
📖 Chapter Five: November 2026
Each fragrance is inspired by a different romance trope and designed to feel like stepping into the pages of your favorite love story.
If you could only read one romance trope forever, which would you choose? 💕📚

Some love stories aren’t over…
They just need another chapter. 💕
Chapter Three: Second Chance is inspired by second chance romances, warm summer carnivals, and the hope that love can find its way back home.
Notes of pink cotton candy, strawberry sugar, peony petals, vanilla cream, tonka bean, and soft cashmere musk create a fragrance that’s sweet, nostalgic, and just a little bittersweet.
✨ Launches tomorrow at 10:00 AM ET.

Sometimes love is real… the timing just isn’t.
More tomorrow 🎡
Some stories deserve a second chance… ✨
Chapter 3 arrives Friday.

A little behind-the-scenes from my life outside the perfumery 💗 ⛸️
Needless to say, perfume is my number one passion, but my second is figure skating. This weekend I’ll be competing, so the past couple of weeks have been filled with lots of practices and nervous excitement.
Creating perfume and skating feel surprisingly similar to me. Both are about telling a story and finding a little bit of magic in what feels like an alternate realm.
I’ve been a bit MIA on socials the last couple of weeks- all my energy is going into filling your orders and skating my heart out. I’ll be back to my normal schedule next week. I should have some inventory restocks then AND I’ll be bottling something new, which arrives Friday 7/17. ✨ Wish me luck on the ice!
