Perfume Stories

When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily Maid, ambassadors of perfume magic, Zipporah Monrose journeys to the capital for the coveted title, stirring up long-held prejudices and a scandal behind a Lily's death that could threaten her tenure as a Lily Maid. *** Eighteen-year-old Zipporah Monrose wants nothing else but to be a Lily Maid--beautiful ambassadors of enchanted perfumes known to beguile the senses. The weekly wages could sustain her family out of impoverishment. When it's rumored that the kingdom needs a new Lily, she departs from her small town for the title. A stay at a boarding house acquaints her with Perley Elliot, a faultless, budding Lily. Perley's selected to compete in the Lily Trials--an assessment of their grace, poise, and affinity with fragrance. Begging is Zipporah's last hope. Perley's pitying plea, and that The Crown prides itself on its progressiveness, plants Zipporah in the competition as a Lily Bud, against twenty-four ambitious girls. Scandalous gossip about the death of Claudie Beary, the Lily they're vying to replace, doesn't dishearten them. Zipporah's social status makes her susceptible to their disparagement. Her presence in the Trials has also garnered her Perley's cold shoulder. Except Zipporah owns one bestowed spritz of perfume from her oldest friend, a former Lily. The perfume makes itself into an indispensable fragrance, enough to win the Lily Trials. But no amount of perfume can mask her predecessor's loveliness. Zipporah fails to exceed Claudie in every way. As Claudie's assailant remains at large, Zipporah puts her life in peril when she uncovers incriminating letters between Claudie and her paramour. In a realm where Lily Maids are more coveted than perfume, the only thing worse than an undesirable Lily is a dead one. Copyright © 2026 T.A. Joseph All rights reserved

Adam Idris doesn't make impulsive decisions. As the heir to the country's largest fragrance empire, he builds everything with precision - including his future. She was never meant to be part of his plans. The first time he sees her, she doesn't even notice him. She's composed, principled, quietly strong - the kind of woman who speaks with calm certainty and stands firm without raising her voice. What begins as quiet admiration turns into certainty - and certainty turns into a proposal made the right way. But when Layla discovers what he did, the foundation of trust weakens. Was she chosen out of love... or strategy? Now Adam must prove that what he feels was never control - it was conviction. And that he chose her for all the right reasons.

My fanmade precure.

He was smart. The perfect, all American boy. Except he was crippled. She was beautiful. A goddess. But she was psychotic. Both were outcasts. And best friends. But he couldn't forget her issues. I guess he never realised he had an angel. Until he lost her. Forever.
