Each bottle is a unique expression of the Romanian botanical tradition, hand-assembled using techniques passed down through one generation (grandmother β granddaughter, approximately 2002, Bucharest suburb).
The vessel itself is sourced from the grandmother's pantry β originally containing Coca-Cola or Fanta, repurposed in the artisanal tradition of European waste reduction. The label says Fanta. The contents say otherwise. This is the tension that drives the brand.

The Founding Story
"I would make like these samples from bottles that we maintained from my grandma's Coca-Cola or Fanta bottles where she used to have like oil or stuff. I would empty them and inside I would put bad water and flowers that I would take from the outside and I would squeeze them and stuff and I would put some ingredients from the kitchen. It would smell good, maybe some perfume from my mom. And I would take them, I would make like a stock of five, six bottles, I would put them in a bag and I would go on the street and stop every person, telling them about my ecological project, like homemade sample without chemicals."
β Patty, Founder & CEO, age 6
This is the original pitch deck. No slides. No projections. No TAM/SAM/SOM. A six-year-old on a Romanian street corner with a plastic bag full of repurposed soda bottles, stopping strangers and explaining her "ecological project." The conversion rate was nonzero. The unit economics were β and remain β immaculate.

Product Line
β 1 β STRADΔ (The Street)
The original formula. Garden flowers, hose water, two sprays of mom's perfume. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Smells like conviction and stolen petunias. The one that started it all.
β 2 β BUNICA (Grandmother)
Oil-forward base note from the original Fanta bottle's previous life as sunflower oil storage. Floral mid-notes. Kitchen spice finish. The bottle remembers what it used to hold, and so do you.
β 3 β BLOC (The Building)
Inspired by the rope system β lowered between balconies in a bag. Notes of concrete, laundry detergent from the neighbor's window, and the particular warmth of a gift you didn't expect. Limited to floors 1β4.
β 4 β ECOLOGIC (The Pitch)
The premium line. Identical to β 1 in every way except the label says "ecologic" in a font that suggests authority. This is the one you sell to adults. The word "ecologic" adds β¬40 to the price. The flowers don't know.
β 5 β NOETHER (The Remainder)
What's left when everything else fades. A single flower, crushed slowly, in cold water, in a bottle that has held three different liquids in three different decades. The scent is conserved. Invariant under every transformation you apply to your life. The ache in botanical form.

Compliance
All products are manufactured in accordance with EU Regulation No. 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions, which has nothing to do with perfume but our VP of Compliance cites it in every document she produces and we've stopped asking why.
The "ecological project" designation has not been verified by any regulatory body. It was self-certified by the founder at age 6 on a street in Romania. No authority has challenged this certification in 24 years, which we interpret as tacit approval.
