The challenge
A Paris and Grasse fragrance house, Perfectly Wrong by design, with a store in Europe and none in the United States.
The brief
Open a US store as exacting as the house, where every order still arrives like a gift.
Anomalia Paris is a fragrance house founded between Paris and Grasse, its bottles standing deliberately off-true. In 2026 it wanted a US store as exacting as the house itself.
01 · Project overview
Perfectly wrong, by design.
Anomalia Paris makes fragrances in glass that is off-true on purpose.
Each bottle stands on a base cut at a slant: Perfectly Wrong. The house had a store in Europe and none in the United States. At kickoff in January 2026 the founder set the plan: a US store mirroring Europe’s, live in the spring.
02 · The opportunity
Every order must feel like a gift.
The house wrote a strict standard: every order must feel like a gift.
That means zero compromises on neatness, from ribbon and tissue paper to symmetry. It is hard to keep once orders travel to a warehouse across an ocean. So the store had to carry it: the right products, samples and barcodes, checked before shipping.
03
The house’s world.
Its glass, its desert and its gift boxes, carried into the US store.
04 · The store
Two stores, one house.
We set up the US Shopify store on its own address, with payouts in dollars.
The house’s theme and content came across from Europe, so it is unmistakably the same house. Then we built a switch between EU and US on both sites. It went live on 20 March 2026, about ten weeks after kickoff.
05
Two samples, every time.
Two free samples go with every full-size order, and an order of samples alone is caught and cancelled.
06 · Operations
Right before the first order.
Each new order is held for a human check before it reaches the warehouse.
Two free samples go with every full-size order. Before launch, the warehouse’s test orders failed: the barcodes for all 14 fragrances had shifted out of line. We aligned them, the retests passed, and since launch we run orders and keep stock in sync.
What changed.
A US store live in ten weeks, with every order checked before it ships.
