FAQ'S

General FAQs

What is Paper + Cloud

Paper and Cloud is my creative brand where I bring together photography, fragrance, wearable art, and Jesmonite homeware. Everything I make is a reflection of my artistic process, designed to be both visually and emotionally engaging

What materials do you use?

I work with premium materials—natural wool and silk for scarves, non-toxic and phthalate-free ingredients for fragrances, and Jesmonite for homeware. My photography is printed on archival, museum-grade paper and sustainable soy wax. You can learn more about speciifc materials in the sections below

Are your products local and handmade?

Yes, everything I create is either made by hand and produced in small batches. I am proud to be part of Ireland’s Design and Craft Council and part of Made Local campaigns

Do you take custom orders?

Yes, I offer custom commissions for photography, Jesmonite pieces, and some fragrance projects. If you have something specific in mind, I’d love to hear about it. you can contact me here

Jesmonite FAQ'S

What is Jesmonite?

Jesmonite is a durable, eco-friendly material that I use for my homeware designs. It has a smooth, stone-like finish and allows me to create unique abstract patterns.

Are your homeware pieces durable?

Yes! Jesmonite is strong and lightweight, but like ceramic, it can break if dropped.

How do I care for my jesmonite pieces?

Jesmonite is a strong and durable material, but like anything handmade, it benefits from a little care. I use a few different Jesmonite types depending on the piece. Most are intended for indoor use, but if you’ve purchased a piece made with AC730, that one is designed to be suitable for outdoor environments as well—it’s more weather-resistant and holds up well over time.

For indoor pieces, I recommend dusting regularly with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. You can clean them gently with mild soap and water if needed—just avoid soaking or scrubbing, and steer clear of harsh or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the surface.

Each piece is sealed to help resist stains, but since Jesmonite is a porous material, it's still best to avoid prolonged contact with water, oils, or strongly pigmented items. Wipe up any spills quickly to keep the surface looking fresh.

Do you take custom orders for jesmonite pieces?

Yes — all of our Jesmonite pieces are made to order, and we’re happy to accommodate custom requests. Whether you’re looking for a specific size, color, or finish, we can create something unique to suit your space.

Perfume Faq's

What makes your perfumes different?

I create fragrances the same way I create art—by telling a story. Each scent is inspired by personal experiences, nature, and abstract concepts.

Are your perfumes safe for skin?

Yes! My fragrances are non-toxic and phthalate-free. I always recommend doing a patch test if you have sensitive skin, just to be sure.

Are your fragrances unisex?

Yes! I don’t believe scent should be limited by gender—wear what makes you feel good

Do you use natural or synthetic ingredients

I use a blend of both high-quality natural ingredients and carefully selected custom-blended fragrances to create my perfumes. I offer a range of pure essential oils for those seeking natural scents, as well as premium perfumes for those who prefer more complex, long-lasting fragrances. Each formula is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that every scent is not only unique and safe but also non-toxic. Whether I’m blending natural oils or custom-blended fragrances, my goal is always to create perfumes that are both beautiful and meaningful.

Reed Diffusers & Candles FAQs

What are your candles and reed diffusers made of?

My candles are made with a clean-burning, non-toxic soy and phthalate-free fragrance oils and essential oils. My reed diffusers use a high-quality, non-toxic glycerin base that allows the scent to disperse evenly over time

How long do your reed diffusers last?

My reed diffusers typically last 8-10 months, depending on the environment. To refresh the scent, flip the reeds every week or so.

How should i care for my candle?

To get the most out of your candle, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn and allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
