Original Editions
The heart of Scent Trunk. Each one is a collaboration with an independent perfumer, inspired by a seasonal focus ingredient and the place it came from.

Travel through your senses.
Every Scent Trunk fragrance starts with one ingredient, the place it comes from, and an independent perfumer who turns it into something you'll want to wear.
Get to know Scent TrunkOne ingredient. One perfumer. One story.
OUR APPROACH
One ingredient. One perfumer. One story.
Most perfume asks you to trust a long list of notes. We start the other way around. Each fragrance is built around a single focus ingredient. We tell you where it comes from, then hand it to an independent perfumer and ask what it means to them.
What comes back is part portrait of the ingredient and part portrait of the artist. Wear one and you're smelling both.
OUR CONNECTION
Straight from the source
Scent Trunk is a sister company of The Perfumer's Apprentice, which supplies perfumery ingredients to perfumers around the world. Our perfumers work with the same raw materials the trade uses, so we can tell you exactly what's in the bottle and why it's there.
Think of each bottle as a stamp in your olfactory passport.
THE CREATIVE VOICES
How we choose our perfumers
We look for independent perfumers with a point of view. Some are classically trained and some are self-taught. They work in naturals, synthetics and everything in between, and a few started out as musicians or painters.
Each year our team sets a theme. Every perfumer receives a brief built on that theme: a focus ingredient, where it comes from, and a color palette, along with a short list of hand-picked raw materials to explore. Then we let them make it their own.
