In their own words

Reproduced from their about page. The words are theirs.

My name is Joshua Smith, the founder and perfumer of Paraphrase.

Paraphrase was created because perfume can be so much more than part of a wardrobe.

Exploring scent helps you to become more sensitive to the world around you. It helps you discover all the beautiful parts of you that have been hidden away.

Exploring how perfume makes you feel is like exploring all the parts of yourself. Confident, soft, and wonderful. Explore your own hazy daydreams, find space for all your personal fantasies.
