@eman Thanks for the question!
Before launching 2.0 we were in beta for 18 months where we were shipping sets of 3 fragrances to people and getting them to rate them. We knew all the attributes of the scents we were sending of course. After a bunch of data we were able to determine the ingredients that are both polarizing from person to person - and a significant component of a fragrance formulation. Designing this was really challenging because there is both the software component and physical formulation (mixing of chemicals).
Still a work in progress though, as we get more data we will continue to get better and better! :)
@william_yin sounds dope 👌. If we get the personalized scent and want to add more of a specific fragrance to the mix without starting the whole process over are we allowed to?
Thank you Nichole for the hunt!
I’m Will, CEO at Scent Trunk. We use data to design custom fragrances – and ship them directly to you each month. We developed a Scent Test Kit, with 6 basic scent formulas, that our new members start with, to help us identify the types of smells they gravitate towards - our lab then uses this to send them their perfect fragrance. If we get it wrong, we’ll try again – for free.
But fragrance is just the tip of the iceberg for us. We’re collecting a bunch of data on what people like to smell and we plan on using this to make better soaps, bath and body products etc.
Ask us anything! We’re also looking for feedback!
Thanks
Will and Rich

@trey_hakanson Thanks for the kind words! We developed a kit where you actually smell things, before we deliver your personal scent - after a bunch of testing we just found that this is more accurate (and fun). We also develop our own fragrances rather than delivering brands that are already on the market!
@trey_hakanson awesome, makes sense to me! Having a true in-home test seems like the best and least pressure way to learn what you like. Keep up the good work!
