Our Story
Founded in 2023, City of Scents creates distinctive home fragrances designed to spark memory, mood, and discovery through scent.
Each destination-inspired collection is created as an olfactive imprint, capturing not just how a place smells, but how it feels. From the energy of New York to the warmth of Marrakech, the ease of St Barth, and the atmosphere of Cairo, our fragrances are designed to bring the feeling of travel into the home.
Handcrafted in New York City, our fragrances are infused into scent sticks, scent sprays, candles, and incense. Each product is created with carefully sourced fragrance blends, including natural materials and high-quality synthetics selected for performance, safety, and sustainability.
