The House

Founded in 2023 by childhood friends Laura Oberwetter and Caleb Vandenboom — she the self-taught perfumer, he the designer — Clue Perfumery makes what the founders call surreal vignettes in scent form. The work is designed, filled, and formulated in their Chicago studio with a small in-house team. Their fragrances find delight in unexpected places.
