Telosmia
P A R F U M E R I E
Telosmia is a small batch fragrance house by scholar-perfumer John Falter. Based on a Greek compound word meaning destination and scent, Telosmia fragrances are built with the intention of place. These compositions work with the natural humidity and tasteful fashions of South Carolina and the subtropical world. Each combine Caribbean and Southern motifs with airy and musky profiles meant to bring dignity and refinement to the hottest days.
We're starting sales this June. Come find us at Other Lands, where Telosmia will be June's maker-in-residence.
