Epilogue

Epilogue is a Singapore fragrance house founded in 2024 by two brothers, Joshua and Izak, who both work in technology and had no formal training in perfumery. Its own story says the idea came up over a quiet dinner in a five-room HDB flat. The name comes from the last chapter of a book: each perfume is meant to read as a chapter of its own, and the brothers want the closing notes to matter as much as the opening.

The brothers say they compose every blend from scratch with their own hands, and the shop calls the perfumes crafted in-house. There are two lines. The Little Red Dot Collection is extrait de parfum about daily life in Singapore, with notes such as calamansi, pandan, rice, wet soil and concrete. Of Fiction and Non-fiction is a set of eau de parfum, each with a short story behind it. Grazia Singapore reports that early buyers were mailed free scent strips in sealed bags, so they could smell before paying.

It has no shop of its own. In Singapore, its store list names two places to smell it: DORS at Design Orchard, 250 Orchard Road, open every day, and The Scent Parlor on Level 3 of 67 Circular Road, closed on Mondays. On its own shop a 50 ml extrait costs SGD 164 and a 50 ml eau de parfum SGD 89. Try Senator, I'm Singaporean first. It is the house's tribute to the country: a bright calamansi opening over quiet notes of concrete, metal and wet soil, made with the heat and humidity of the city in mind.
