Hadithi yetuOur story
“Every bottle starts with a place in Kenya you can point to on a map.”
Scents Central began in 2019 on a single bench in a Westlands flat. Today we compose, mature and bottle every perfume in our Nairobi studio, in small batches, with ingredients from Kenyan farms wherever we can find them.

Heard around town
Wore Usiku to a wedding in Karen and three people asked me what it was before the speeches.
Wanjiru K. · Kilimani
Paid on M-Pesa at lunch and the rider was at my office by four. Kilima is now my everyday.
Brian O. · Upper Hill
Lamu smells like my grandmother’s house in the old town, only more expensive. I love it.
