About the Custom Scent Process

Yes! All of our scents are unisex; we believe scent is not gendered and anyone should be able to enjoy whichever scents they like. Some scents do skew more traditionally male and female though, so if you have any questions we're happy to assist.

If you know when you'll be visiting, we highly recommend making an appointment. However, walk ins are always accepted.

For 1-2 people, the process usually takes about 30 minutes. Add 10 minutes for each additional guests

When you visit our studio, you'll smell our selection of core fragrances and choose your favorites. Based on your preferences, our scent advisors will guide you through the process of adding a variety of different fragrance accords to each core scent until you discover your perfect blend. As we freshly bottle your custom scent, you'll choose your fragrance's label color and whatever name you'd like stamped on the front!
