We are a small team of makers, memory-keepers, and scent storytellers. Reminisscent was born from a simple truth: scent is the most powerful sense we have when it comes to memory—and one of the easiest to lose.

Our mission is to preserve that connection before it fades.

Unlike sight or sound, which are processed through complex neural pathways, scent takes a direct route to the brain’s limbic system—home to our emotions, memory, and identity. That’s why a single breath of a familiar scent can collapse time, bringing you back to a person, a place, or a moment in staggering clarity.

This isn’t our claim, science has supported this venture:

• A study by Herz & Cupchik (1995) showed that scent-triggered memories are significantly more emotional and vivid than those triggered by images or sounds.

• Work by Arshamian et al. (2013) found that odor-evoked memories activate the amygdala and hippocampus—the brain’s memory and emotional centers—more intensely than any other sensory cue.

• Other studies demonstrate that scent is more likely to unlock early childhood memories, and with it, the raw, unfiltered feeling that no photograph or song can recreate.

At Reminisscent, we harness that power through science and craftsmanship. Using headspace gas chromatography (GC-MS), we analyze the unique scent profile of a worn item—like a hoodie, pillow, or blanket—and work with expert perfumers to recreate it, one small batch at a time.

What you receive is more than a fragrance. It’s a memory you can breathe in, a moment you can hold, a presence you don’t have to let go of.

Whether you're navigating loss, preserving legacy, or helping others through grief, we're here to ensure the people who shaped you never fully leave you.
