Strangelove Nyc
Luxury oud perfumery, made in small batches.
Strangelove NYC was founded in 2014 by Elizabeth Gaynes in New York as an ultra-luxury perfume house centered on oud and rare materials, produced in deliberately small batches that reinforce the brand's exclusivity. Collaborating with world-class perfumers including Hamid Merati-Kashani and Christophe Laudamiel, Strangelove produces compositions of unusual depth and complexity — particularly those exploring oud in its many registers, from smoky and animalic to clean and ethereal. The brand's name carries a dark-comedy, cinematic quality that contrasts with the preciousness common in ultra-luxury perfumery, giving Strangelove a distinctive attitude alongside its serious material credentials. Pricing reflects the ultra-niche positioning, with bottles retailing at the top of the market. Distribution is through the brand's own channels and a carefully curated list of luxury fragrance boutiques.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
