The power of memories and emotions form the cornerstone of Scent by Six, which is a play on the words “scents” and “sense”. To him, the sixth sense refers to memories, which can be triggered with the mere whiff of a familiar smell.
When Jason Lee proposed to his wife (then girlfriend), he did it by presenting her with a perfume that bottled all the memories of their wintry holiday to Hokkaido. It was filled with alluring notes of lavender, green tea and cedarwood. Not only did she say yes, the couple then bottled the same scent for all the guests at their wedding.
After numerous compliments and encouragement from loved ones, Lee — who developed a nose for fragrances while working at Swiss perfume house Givaudan — decided to bite the bullet and start Scent by Six. Launched officially in 2016, the brand’s clear purpose is centred around healing, soothing and delighting one’s mental wellness through an expanding collection of fine fragrances, DIY scent kits, and home scenting range.
