Wishing you all abundant moments of connection to beauty and mystery during the holidays. May your days be embraced by love, and your heart be a sanctuary of happiness; whatever you celebrate. ♡ — Miss Layla

My best selling scent is back in stock! A gorgeous blooming citrus aroma of plate sized flowering magnolias. The scent opens with lush tropical fruits, lemon, pithy grapefruit and the signature scent of this colossal white bloom. The finish is a salt spray & a mossy- marine-musk of white ambergris.

I did it! I scoured the planet and battled the tariffs to bring you one.. more.. batch of The Space Between! I had no idea this was going to become an award nominated perfume and become so popular! If you’ve been waiting this long, thank you! Get yours while you can. This is the last of it— Really!

SOTD: Jurassic Flower by fūm. I smell so good even after walking my kids to school. It’s not my typical scent profile but this bright, citrus floral was just what I needed today.

Have you sampled The Space Between yet? This white copal perfume has been aptly dubbed a, “White Velvet Incense” fragrance. Notes include neroli, apple, hand tinctured white copal resin, saffron with a warm woody vanilla and amber base. #fragrancesky #incenseperfume #whitecopal #perfumesky

Love notes. 🗒️ 🖤 #lovesky

My honey bought me two Jasmine Sambac plants today. Bouquets for years to come. And they smell heavenly! #jasminesambac #flowerpower #flowersky #jasminesky #enfleurage

🤗 Special delivery from @fumfragrances.com today! I liked this sample, but my husband liked it more, so now we can both enjoy. Pachouli fans should try it. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael

I know they all call you, “The Prince of Darkness” but to me, you were a light in the dark. I love you so much. Words can’t express what you mean to me. Your legacy is boundless and I am so grateful for what you have given me. Your music will live on in me. Forever. #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath

Handmade perfume in the lab today. The color is all natural.

Filtering Aloha Lei today. Aloha Lei is the aroma of plumerias unfurling beneath a rainbow sunset. It’s fruity, lactonic, heady, spicy and full of white floral, “musk.” There are no added synthetic musks of any kind; it’s au-naturel. Summer heat makes it bloom! #perfumesky #summerscent #fragrancesky

I’m going to make this into a perfume. I took this picture today so I could create from this as inspiration. I have gathered flowers like this and am now formulating. If you can guess this flower correctly I’ll send you a sample of what I am making. I always enjoy feedback.

Been wearing Kodama of late. It was created by Miss Layla ( @fumfragrances.com ). The combination of yuzu and shiso uplifts while the woods, especially cedar, has this wonderful grounding quality that helps me to relax with all of the fun going on around me.

#SOTD is The Space Between by @fumfragrances.com in LA, who puts personalized notes in each package ❤️. My sample got better each time I wore it, so I splurged on a full bottle. It is magnificent. Organic and magical at the same time. I’ve never smelled anything like it. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

I didn’t win a golden pear but I still had a blast. Here’s me and my friends last Thursday at the Art & Olfaction Awards. Thanks to all who came out to support me. #AOAWARDS2025 #thegoldenpears #fragrancesky #perfumesky #AOAWARDnominated #artandolfaction #IAO

“It’s bad name now a thing of the past.” 🤔 I just don’t understand why patchouli ever had a, “bad” name. It’s hands down my favorite raw material in perfumery. Where are my #patchoulipals at? #patchoulisky #patchouli #fragrancesky #perfumesky

fūm - Kodama (Miss Layla, 202?). This Japanese inspired hinoki & moss combo is terpenic, but still smooth. It has a citrusy (yuzu) sharpness & a touch of spice (shiso) as well. Well balanced, light, calm, & meditative. A less abrasive GdG Hinoki #sotd #perfumesky

#SOTD is Ariose by @fumfragrances.com. Initially floral, plum, and a bit spicy, it settles into powdery iris and creamy nuttiness. I keep taking whiffs of my wrist. It’s nice to try something nutty that’s not also vanilla. And I <3 iris. Plus, I learned a new word. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Ariose by @fumfragrances.com is an unusual, sheer amber that seamlessly incorporates starchy orris and finely ground almonds, accented with a plum-rose compote, coffee grains, and powdery spices. The overall composition is palpably textured but still manages to be diaphanous. Perfect name too. 🪶🤍✨

Y’all, I’m not going to lie. I miss Instagram- for all the fun stuff I mean. 😢 I had no idea I was going to get nominated for an Art & Olfaction Award before I deleted all Meta platforms back in January. I miss being able to hype my work, my brand and connect with a wider audience. Oligarchy blows.

Look at this juice! Gets me every time. 🥃 This is The Space Between— a freshly batched Copal centric perfume. The white copal resin is ground by hand using a cured lava molcajete. From resin dust into perfume by yours truly. #perfumesky #copalperfume #whitecopal #fragrancesky #awardnoninatedperfume

The wait is over! My Limited Edition (and Art & Olfaction Award nominated) perfume The Space Between is now back in stock! Bottles sold out when the news went global last month so don’t delay on this if you want it. Stock is limited because batches are small! #AOAWARDS #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Happy Earth Day, Earth! You continue to inspire me every day and I couldn’t exist without you! You make my life beautiful.

Me one week ago right after the Art & Olfaction Awards Finalist announcement. 📣 My perfume The Space Between is a finalist in the Artisan Category and my friend Rachel made sure to capture my excitement outside the IAO. If you haven’t already, sample my nominated perfume! #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Congratulations to @fumfragrances.bsky.social for being a finalist in the Art & Olfaction Awards Artisan category for 2025! #perfumesky

Last night @fumfragrances.bsky.social was announced as a finalist for the Art and Olfaction awards for her perfume, The Space Between!!!CONGRATULATIONS, MISS LAYLA 🎊🙌🤌 #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Big news everyone! My perfume The Space Between has been nominated for an Art & Olfaction Award! I'm so pumped right now. Being nominated feels like a win already! Bottles sold out immediately last night after the press release and I am batching again to restock ASAP. Get samples while you can!

Hello, everyone! I'm new here. My name is Layla. I am the owner and perfumer of fūm fragrances and I make Art For Your Nose. If you love art and all things fantastically olfaction check out my work at www.fumfragrances.com.

Spring time is the best time. Nerola is Southern California Spring in a bottle. The scent of sun washed orange trees in bloom. #springscent #socalscent #soliflore

Hey all... As if 2025 couldn't kick me harder... I have some bad news. I can no longer shoulder the costs of inflation. I unfortunately need to raise my prices. I'll be sending a more in depth newsletter soon but here is an update from one of my suppliers. Insert heartbreak and panic emoji here:

Scrubbed down some Iris roots this afternoon. I removed dirt but not the skin yet. This is what Orris is. Orris is Iris root. I will peel this, sun dry it, age it and use it as a fragrance material. These roots are in my perfume Ariose. My sumptuous, “flormande”.

New NEZ éditions + LMR naturals notebook. I use violet leaf absolute in several of my fragrances. I feel like it slips in everywhere seamlessly. As the Bonapartists would say, “Do you love violets?”

This weekend I’ll be shutting the Basenotes accounts on: * Instagram * Facebook * Threads It may be commercial suicide but we don’t make pots of cash anyway; so it don’t really matter. Bye bye Meta

So much rain after all the LA fires has brought on massive blooms. The smell of neroli is all around.

Chatting with friends about plumerias (aka: frangipani) and the aroma of their many flowers. What's your favorite plumeria fragrance? Aloha Lei is my tropical paradise scent for frangipani fanatics. I usually wait to show this off in Summer but tropical scents are always in season for me.

An ode to my beloved orange tree. The hallmark scent of my home.

Thinking of doing a newsletter on Friday focusing on a perfume raw material. Could be synthetic, could be a natural material? Is there anything the fragrance community here would like to know about? Now is a perfect time to sign up for the newsletter too. Either way, drop a line. What interests you?

After a few short weeks, behind the scenes business operations are stabilized and once again underway! As a thank you for your patience, I wanted to welcome you back with an offer of 20% off bottle purchases (exclusions apply). Use code: WELCOMEBACK at checkout. www.fumfragrances.com.

This is a photo by Paul Steinberg. It also captures my personality pretty well and I consider the closest thing to a self portrait. ;) I imagine myself as just the, "Nose" to share with all that can see me, but also with a big David Byrne suit on. I am a Perfumer after all. #artforyournose

The first fragrance I authored for my company fūm. Ariose is a sophisticated, "flormand" and is actually the only fragrance in my signature collection to contain vanilla. Notes include: Amaretto, absolutes of rose, carnation & tonka bean anchored in a bed of patchouli, genuine iris butter and musk.

Okay frag comm. Real talk: I have been dealing with a lot of personal related issues (I won't get into it but we all have them so I know you can relate) and I find myself reaching for the scent of anything sandalwood... on repeat. It's my go-to comfort scent. What aroma helps you these days?

What's up, BlueSky!? First post ever here. My name is Layla. I am an Independent Perfumer based in Los Angeles and my company is called fūm. I am currently making some changes over here in the new year and wanted to try this app out and see how I fit in! Does anyone have any tips for noobs here?
