Kismet Olfactive The Poet Candle

The Poet weaves a fragrant tale of worldly wisdom and quiet contemplation.

This sophisticated fragrance opens with delicate Casablanca lily, then journeys through exotic lands. Moroccan Atlas cedar stands tall, Omani frankincense wafts from bustling markets, and Indian sandalwood drifts from ancient temples. A twist of grapefruit adds zesty brightness, while leather and patchouli deepen the narrative. Sensual ambrette musk and sweet tonka bean provide the epilogue. 

The Poet speaks volumes without a word, a scent for those who appreciate subtlety and the power of aromatic storytelling.

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.
