Scents by Skanda

Scents by Skanda is an American independent fragrance house founded in 2020, creating a small collection of artisan-focused perfumes rooted in bold material choices and a personal creative vision. The house blends Western and South Asian olfactory sensibilities, drawing on ingredients common to Indian attar traditions — oud, vetiver, resins — while framing them within contemporary niche-perfume structures. The catalog is deliberately compact, each release receiving careful development before launch. Scents by Skanda appeals to enthusiasts who follow the indie American perfumery scene and seek alternatives to the established niche players, valuing direct relationships with the creator behind the brand.
