kismet olfactive

Kismet Olfactive is an independent fragrance studio founded in 2018 by perfumer Shabnam Tavakol. Based in New York City, the brand translates serendipitous moments into wearable, unisex scents, a concept derived from its name—"Kismet" is from the Persian word for fate. Tavakol, an Iranian-American perfumer trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery, bridges her heritage and Western upbringing, drawing inspiration from 1960s counterculture, poetry, and human connection. The brand is known for its narrative-driven approach, using scent as a form of storytelling.
