Designer fragrance cardsBring art into your everyday
Faust’s Co. makes fragrance cards with designers, artists and photographers. We care about the picture as much as the scent. It should be something you like having around.
A scent can remind you of somewhere before you can remember its name. A photograph can do something similar. We were interested in what would happen if you could keep the two together, in an object small enough to carry.
A photograph or a graphic: what draws you in? Find a work you want to live with.
The Tokyo Atmosphere
Photography by Yusin Law
A city, seen at a human pace
Yusin Law photographs people walking alone, the quiet of a temple and murmured conversations in the street. Nothing seems to be happening, yet an unspoken feeling moves through each frame. This is how Tokyo feels to her.
The images are real. The emotions are real, and so is the scent. Yet each of us understands them differently—perhaps because everyone carries a different Tokyo within.
Nod Young uses the idea of direction to explore the relationship between fragrance and form. “These are not the directions of the world,” he says, “but directions that belong to each of us.”
The forms are abstract, yet they still invite understanding. Scent and memory work in much the same way: through the blur, a shape gradually comes into view. That act of recognition becomes an exploration of the world within.
A work of art, the size of a credit card. For your books, bags and daily rituals.

Our fragrances come from Robertet S.A. in Grasse, France. Its work with natural aromatic materials, dating to 1850, brings a long tradition of expertise to each composition.
You do not need a vocabulary for fragrance to know what you like. Start with woods, herbs or resins, then compare the descriptions. It is fine to change your mind.
Start with a scent you know, or one you are curious about.

03 / MATERIALS & CRAFT
Nature, in essenceConsidered, down to the paper
The scent matters. So does the paper you hold in your hand.
ROOTS · LEAVES · WOODS · RESINS
01 / FROM THE PLANT
100% botanicalThe essential oils we use
Our essential oils come entirely from plants. Roots, leaves, woods and resins smell quite different from one another. The way they are combined gives each fragrance its character.
Three scent families
Herbal
Fresh · green
Rosemary, basil and eucalyptus bring fresh greens and gentle coolness from aromatic plants. In our blends, citrus adds brightness, while woods or frankincense give the freshness depth.
Woody
Dry · grounded
Cedarwood, sandalwood and guaiac wood bring dry grain and gentle warmth. Vetiver roots and patchouli add earthy depth; some compositions leave a trace of smoke.
Resin & amber
Soft · warm
Frankincense, an aromatic tree resin, brings clear, gentle spice. Our resin-and-amber fragrance explores another expression: resin softened by a warm amber accord, with a powdery finish that feels close to skin.
Paper holds the fragrance and gives the artwork a surface you can touch.
01Kept sealed
Each card is sealed separately. Open it when you want to use it; the others can wait.
02Released gradually
The fragrance diffuses into the air after opening. No flame, heat or electricity is needed.
03Art to keep
The scent will fade. The photograph or graphic stays, if you would like to keep it.
A small ritual, at your own pace
Fragrance for up to 50 days*
* Scent duration and intensity depend on temperature, airflow and placement. Actual performance varies with the environment.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND FAUST’S CO.
Three creatorsDistinct ways of seeing
Three people, working in photography, graphic design and painting. Here is what each brings to Faust’s Co.
Yusin Law
Photographer
The Tokyo Atmosphere · Photography
Artistic language
California-based photographer Yusin Law looks at cities through the people in them. The Tokyo Atmosphere follows walks, conversations and pauses. In black and white, a gesture or the distance between two people can hold your attention.
The collection & scent
Six photographs become six fragrance cards. The scenes belong to Tokyo; where you put the cards is up to you.
Nod Young is a designer, artist, co-founder of A Black Cover Design and founder of Details Co. He directs the visual work at Faust’s Co. For Beyond, the design continues right to the cut edge: the outline is part of the picture, too.
The collection & scent
Colour, shape and scent give you several ways to choose. The card does not need to mean the same thing to everyone.
Solomon Enos is a Native Hawaiian artist from Mākaha Valley on O‘ahu. His work includes painting, murals and illustration. He calls himself a “Possibilist”; his imagined futures draw on ancestry and the relationships between people and other living things.
A forthcoming dialogue
The drawings shown here are the starting point for our 2027 collaboration. We will share the finished cards and fragrances when the collection is ready.
The smoke ring becomes a window onto Hawai‘i—trade winds, ocean light and volcanic shores. In its open center, scent lets the present, dreams and island memories gently meet.
Sometimes a smell is enough to make you stop what you are doing.
Faust’s Co. is a fragrance-card brand from Hawai‘i. Its name comes from the wish in Goethe’s Faust to ask a beautiful moment to stay. We liked that wish.
A card is a modest way of trying. There is a picture to look at and a scent to enjoy. When the fragrance fades, you can still keep the picture.
Stay. It’s beautiful.
