JellyCity is one of the key realms within the auntieverse: a surreal, semi-flooded metropolis where aunties and jellies coexist among enigmatic shops, chaotic spas, and a landscape made of translucent, wobbly jelly forms.


Brought to life through animated films such as FOMO Jelly, 1 Star Review, 5 Minutes to Opening, and Not Vegan, JellyCity blends tenderness and social commentary, capturing the entrepreneurial and emotional logic of aunties navigating a world built from jelly.

The universe explores themes of care, community, over-consumption, and the absurd possibilities of everyday life. Loved for its strangeness, colour, and buoyant optimism, JellyCity has become one of the most recognisable destinations within the Auntieverse.

    Limited Edition Fragrance
