About Us

About 13:13 Perfumery

13:13 perfumery is an independent fragrance studio focused on small-batch perfumes crafted with intention in medieval city Cēsis in Latvia.
We believe perfume should feel personal - present, and close to the skin. Fragrance can be your personal ally, the one that makes you feel a specific way. 
13:13 perfumery crafts it's perfume collection inspired by people, archetypes and nature, using nature based ingredients - extracts and nature-identical aroma chemicals. We also provide custom scent creation process and masterclass experiences in our studio.

Our Approach

Each scent begins with a state of being rather than a trend. 
We work with high-quality natural materials and carefully selected aromatic molecules, shaping compositions that evolve gently and wear intimately.

Our Materials

We source botanical extracts, like rose absolute, jasmine absolute, orris CO₂ - materials that carry the full complexity of the plant.
Some of what we use is rare by nature. Guaiac wood is becoming increasingly scarce. Neroli fluctuates sharply in price with each harvest. These are not stable commodities - they are living materials, shaped by season, soil, and supply.
Where it serves the composition, we also work with nature-identical molecules - aromatic analogues that replicate what nature produces, without compromise to quality or character.

Crafted in the North

Our studio is based in Cēsis, Latvia, where stillness, and closeness to nature shape both life and creative process.
This environment informs our perfumes - grounded, nature-inspired.

Small-Batch & Handcrafted

Every fragrance is produced in small batches and finished by hand.
Each bottle is filled, labeled, and prepared with care — from the first pour to the final seal.
We choose uniqueness over volume, process over speed.

Safety & Responsibility

All our fragrances are formulated in accordance with EU cosmetic regulations and IFRA standards.
We believe responsibility is part of beauty - from ingredient selection to transparency and skin safety.

Our Philosophy

Perfume is not an accessory.
It is a presence.
Something that stays close, unfolds slowly, and becomes part of how you move through the world.

Founder & Perfumer, 13:13 Perfumery
Anna Pipara created 13:13 as an independent fragrance studio rooted in the stillness of nature. Her approach to perfumery is slow and intentional - each composition begins with a state of being rather than a trend, and is considered finished only when it feels complete.
Working with high-quality natural materials and carefully selected aromatic molecules, Anna crafts small-batch fragrances that wear intimately and evolve gently. Every bottle is filled, labeled, and prepared by hand.
13:13 is her answer to a fragrance world that moves too fast.
