House Of James
Inspired by the world, created in Australia.
House of James is an independent Australian fragrance house founded by Justin James, a graphic designer and psychotherapist who channels both hemispheres of his brain into artisan perfumery. Drawing inspiration from global travel and vivid imagination, James works from his own studio, handling every stage of production from formulation to bottling and shipping. The brand began under the name James & Co before evolving into House of James, with a deliberate shift toward minimalist bottles that allow the scent to do the talking. Specialising in water-based and low-alcohol compositions, the house pursues conceptual fragrance storytelling — each release shaped by a specific mood, memory, or dreamlike experience. Justin tests every fragrance on himself and never on animals, and the brand offers refill options in a nod to environmental responsibility. For Australian niche perfumery, House of James represents a rare self-contained creative vision operating entirely outside the established global perfume supply chain.
