The House
Ostara began as a private practice — blending raw naturals for family and close friends. In 2019, after a decade of sourcing and study, we released our first four fragrances to the public. That number has not changed.
We source directly from distillers and cultivators in Grasse, Madagascar, Bulgaria, and Haiti. Every batch is blended, bottled, and labeled by hand in our Chicago studio.
“We make fragrances we would wear ourselves — and nothing else.”
— Ostara, Est. 2019

Sourcing
Natural aromatics sourced direct from distillers in France, Bulgaria, Madagascar, and Haiti. No synthetic substitutes.
Blending
Each formula is blended by hand in small quantities. Exact ratios are never disclosed — they live in our notebooks.
Maceration
Fully macerated for a minimum of eight weeks before bottling. No shortcuts. The time is part of the formula.
Bottling
Hand-filled into hand-labeled 50ml bottles. Every bottle is numbered. Batches are limited and seasonal.
Obtain
We do not maintain a permanent storefront. Each batch is released once per year via our mailing list. To be notified of the next release, or to inquire about current availability, write to us.
