Kismet Olfactive Studio Scent Candle

A luxurious chypre, Studio Scent features rich Turkish fig, mingled with notes of bergamot and black tea, lavender and amberwood, and palo santo and oak moss. Warm and sultry, this candle adds a touch of bohemian whimsy to any home or workspace.

The beautiful chaos of our lives: stacks of old books and vintage vinyls scattered about; a mug of black tea next to last night's wine glass; knick-knacks nestled on a wooden spice rack; a hint of mary jane; palo santo smoke wafting over wilting lavender in a vase; a seductive aroma emanating from the bedroom; two soft figs resting among a bowl of oranges.

Kismet Olfactive is a New York City-based independent fragrance studio founded by bohemian-perfumer Shabnam Tavakol.

Born and raised in California, Shabnam—Farsi for “morning dew”—is the daughter of Iranian-immigrant parents who escaped the violent 1979 Revolution in Iran, relocating to the U.S. by way of hard-won efforts and a string of good fortune.

Recognizing this fortuitous past, Kismet—from the Persian qismat, meaning “fate,” or, “what is meant to be”—translates the serendipitous moments that make up our lives into wearable scents.

Kismet fragrances are made by hand in small batches, are unfiltered, and contain a high concentration of natural raw materials—therefore, some cloudiness or sediment may occur.
