Information

About

Established in 2022 by childhood friends — perfumer Laura Oberwetter, and designer Caleb Vanden Boom — Clue is an independent perfumery finding delight in unexpected places.

Drawing upon surprising references, Clue’s work balances surreal vignettes with the familiar appeal of perfume.

With a close group of friends and collaborators, Clue develops everything in-house. Every product produced has been designed, composed, formulated, bottled, assembled, and shipped by hand from Clue’s studio and lab in Chicago.

We enthusiastically use both natural and synthetic materials. We select materials based on their ability to execute concepts, not on their rarity, exclusivity, or perceived market value.
