"We are nothing but the stories we tell ourselves..."


In this conversation, Purvi Joshi, the creative director of Peosym, shares her journey into the world of niche fragrances, inspired by personal loss and the stories that shape our lives. We discusses the significance of storytelling in fragrance creation, the cultural inspirations behind her scents, and and how we change and grow when we move into new spaces. Our chat explores themes of loss, memory, and the evolving nature of language and identity, culminating in reflections on the narratives found in young adult fiction and their parallels to personal growth and understanding.

Nirmohee - Peosym

Horn Ok Please - Peosym

Lost Wonderer - Peosym


Books mentioned:

Aru Shah and the End of Time - Roshani Chokshi
