12+ years ago, Doug Schwartz was born by total accident. I started making candles, from recycled liquor bottles. (If any of you remember that, what a ride) That accidental start grew into something much bigger: working with brands around the world to create scent and manufacture products from idea-to-shelf
A core part of our business has always been inviting people into the olfactory process. ScentLabs have been the thread running through it all for special occasions, team building, corporate events, and programming right here in Detroit
Over the past several years, demand has outpaced our production capacity, and we’ve had to turn away more people than we’d like
But what began as a very DIY, hands-on fragrance experience has evolved into something Epic that we’re incredibly proud of: a partnership with EveryHuman that takes the scent lab concept into the future with Algorithmic Perfumery
With this next-level sensory platform, YOU become the maker and create a one-of-a-kind fragrance in real time with over 500B unique combinations
With the same passion for bringing people together through scent, and New technology behind it, hilaryschwartz_ and I curated a dynamic space on Nick Gilbert Way in the Hudson’s Detroit Tower, to welcome everyone
With locations in London, Dubai, Vienna, and Copenhagen, I knew Detroit deserved a seat at that table, & this incredible international concept needed a home right here in the heart of the city that built us.
