What we are
The Library of Fragrance consists consists of over 300 different fragrances inspired by everyday objects and experiences. In short, we are the olfactory version of “stopping to smell the roses”. We isolate and highlight the beautiful scents that surround us every day, in wearable formats.
Why so many different scents? Because our sense of smell triggers our strongest emotional response, choosing and wearing a LOF fragrance is a personal expression of that emotional response. That makes The Library of Fragrance the only fragrance house that is all about the user, and not about the designer. There is no fashion to aspire to, or lifestyle to step into. Your choice of one of our fragrances is all about you.
That doesn’t mean you should be giving up your designer and prestige fragrances; some of them are truly fabulous. But there is so much more to the power and beauty of scent than complex and big fragrances.
Christopher Brosius, founder
“A person’s fragrance “wardrobe” should include more than just designer or classic perfumes. Having a fragrance wardrobe of just designer perfumes is like having a wardrobe of nothing but evening clothes – beautiful but not what you might want for everyday life. You need the comfortable clothes as well.”
Who we are
The Library of Fragrance is a family owned and operated business. We try and extend that passionate and caring dynamic to all our fans, as part of the extended LOF family.
All Library of Fragrance products are made in our Pennsylvania factory and are stocked in the UK or your respective region.
All The Library of Fragrance products are either made by hand or manufactured semi-automatically and finished by hand. All fragrances are batched by hand.

First Kiss
Until now, First Kiss has only been available in Korea.

First Kiss has notes of champagne, sugar and the depths of the Black Pansy. Anonymous…
Chipotle Pepper Shower Gel
The Library of Fragrance Chipotle Pepper develops with an earthy, but mild spiciness, representative of the heat and distinctive smokiness that has made Chipotle a favorite American flavor. The scent, however, is very clean and fresh, while retaining some of the spice. Interestingly enough, Chipotles are late season Jalapeño Peppers that are allowed to ripen…
Fraser Fir
Our whole idea is to smell the trees for the forest. They each smell different, and very good. Fraser fir was named for John Fraser (1750-1811), a Scottish botanist who explored the southern Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th century. In many respects, Fraser fir and Balsam fir are quite similar, although the geographic ranges…
Marshmallow
The Library of Fragrance has captured the essence of the Marshmallow in a scent so light it borders on transparent. Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Eventually gelatin replaced the March-Mallow plant.
Funeral Home
Funeral Home is a blend of classic white flowers including lilies, carnations, gladiolus, chrysanthemums with stems and leaves, with a hint of mahogany and oriental carpet. This scent actually started out to be Flower Show. However, our founding perfumer personally did NOT like most white flowers so this was a tough fragrance for him to…
