@fragranted @fragrantterees @muse_experiences @shawncrenshawinc @ovationformen @everythingbambi @hivefragrances therapeutate_parfums
Join us for an informal conversation with experts in perfumery and hear what they have to say from their personal perspectives - a fresh take on modern perfumery.
​
Hosted by Digital Scent Festival: Founded by Yosh Han in April 2020, the festival was born out of a need to connect during the pandemic and create a space where our noses remain curious and active.
We encourage soulful connections through olfactive unity. What started out as a six-week program, on Olfaction and the Senses, turned into six-months of virtual programming with over 80 presenters from the niche and indie perfume community from around the world.
