Every scent we create at Scented Pages Workshop comes with a story. For me, writing these stories is as important as blending the oils. It’s how we connect each fragrance with the classic work that inspired it, making the experience richer for every customer.

When developing our Pride and Prejudice scent, I wrote about Elizabeth Bennet’s lively spirit and the English countryside’s crisp air, explaining how bergamot and rose mirrored these feelings. For Starry Night, I described how lavender and cedarwood captured Van Gogh’s swirling sky and the quiet hope within the painting.

I learned that storytelling is a business tool as much as it is an artistic practice. We noticed that products with clear, engaging stories sold faster at markets and received more attention online. It turned a bottle of perfume into a conversation starter, a personal connection to literature, and a gift with meaning.

To streamline this process, I began using AI tools like ChatGPT to draft initial story versions, which I would then refine to ensure the voice stayed authentic. This helped us scale content creation while maintaining quality.

Storytelling also became part of our social media strategy. We shared snippets of these scent stories on Instagram and TikTok, using them to create narrative-driven videos that resonated with young book lovers.

Writing these stories has taught me that creativity can be practical, that words can drive commerce, and that even as a young entrepreneur, I can merge literature with business in a way that inspires people to reconnect with the classics.
