Custom Scent

A fragrance composed around you.

Custom fragrance begins with conversation.

We explore the fragrances you already love, the ones you avoid, your personal style, your intended use, the environments in which you wear fragrance, and the character you want the finished scent to carry.

For clients who want another layer of personalization, personal astrology can also be incorporated. Astrology does not determine the fragrance — it is one additional compositional framework alongside your actual scent preferences.

Personalized Adaptation

$125 design fee + finished bottle

Begin with one of the five Intrepid Scents fragrances and adjust selected aspects around you — warmer, drier, brighter, darker, more or less floral, more woody or resinous, softer, more projected, more intimate.

— One consultation

— One feedback round
— Final adapted formula retained for future reorders

Optional

Premium Botanical Materials Upgrade

For clients who want the highest-grade natural aromatic materials available, we can formulate with a premium botanical palette using especially fine essential oils, absolutes, and extracts.

This may include especially fine essential oils, absolutes, CO₂ extracts, resins and other select naturals.

Pricing is quoted separately based on the materials selected for the final composition.

The $125 Personalized Adaptation design fee does not include additional premium material costs. Final bottle price is quoted separately once formula and material selections are established.
