To try new fragrances, it was common to make a trip to a department store perfume counter. In came Scentbird. In 2014, Mariya and her co-founders built a scent recommendation platform. Soon people started asking to sample the fragrances, and almost five iterations later, the idea came to be: a 30-day supply of a fragrance of your choice. Today Scentbird offers 800+ fragrances to 700,000+ monthly subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. âWeâre just getting started,â says Mariya, reflecting on the extraordinary growth and eying expansion to Europe.
