DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
As scent enthusiasts ourselves, we know all too well the struggle of finding a high-quality perfume that’s affordable.
When we realized how much behind-the-scenes action goes on in the perfume industry, a lightbulb went off! It was time to lift the veil on perfume creation and consumption, ushering in a new (smarter) way to shop. No more paying $100+ when the actual perfume itself only costs $2 to make… (yes, really).
We aim to do this by being transparent and honest about everything that we do. From giving you all the details on the sourcing of our ingredients to being upfront about our pricing, we may be going against the grain of how traditional perfume companies operate, but hey, as savvy consumers, we know you’re ready for something different from this industry.

TEAM GREEN + CLEAN
We never gave a second thought to our daily spritz of our favorite perfume. Until we took a closer look at the ingredient list, that is! Full of known toxic chemicals, we couldn’t believe we were subjecting ourselves to this on the daily. And oh, don’t even get us started on the amount of animal cruelty that is rampant in the perfume industry.
We had to do things differently. Cleaner than the “Sephora Clean List”, our perfumes are sourced using the highest-quality ingredients. We follow both U.S. and U.E recommendations when formulating our blends, and we NEVER test on animals.
We pride ourselves on being a clean, vegan, cruelty-free perfumery that is dedicated to quality and craftsmanship.
EN FRANÇAIS, S’IL VOUS PLAÎT?
Don’t worry, we’re not going to start talking to you in French, but France does run deep within our company. With five perfumers located in Grasse—the perfume capital of the world—and our nose/evaluator located in Paris, you can’t have Dossier without a touch of that French flair making its way into everything that we do.

Quick Fix: Leopard Print + Rainbow Selfie Wall
Just a quick makeover of a wall my landlord fixed in my rental. I decided to make a fun selfie wall and used my leopard skills to camo this awkward area. I just used some acrylic paints I found at walmart and joann. Thanks for checking out my fix.
