How did you pick which scents had to go in the test kit?

@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?

@eman Absolutely. You can always contact our team directly with more precise feedback!

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 Co-founders

What makes you guys different than something like Scent Bird or Hawthorne? Beautiful website, the brand definitely has a unique feel.

@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!

Would you say it makes perfect scents? I'll see myself out.

@richard_smale @wfb Looks like someone stumbled onto Product Hunt to sniff out an exciting opportunity.

That does sound like a great idea. So, if you guys built a formula based on my taste, and I like it a lot, is it possible to make it exclusive?

@cesarzeppini Interesting... we've had some brands reach out looking for exclusive formulas but we've never thought about doing it for consumers. Actually maybe we could even make exclusive formulas for influencers, what do you think?

@william_yin I can imagine that would be desirable as an influencer. I would personally love to have my own fragrance ❤️

@tese_omesan that could actually be really effective for marketing. Maybe we could create signature scents or influencers :)

"Scent Trunk 1.0 was a subscription sampling service, where we curated fragrances from other brands and shipped them monthly for $18. Scent Trunk 2.0, we've actually got our own lab where we are creating our own formulas. We've invented a kit that figures out what people like to smell and then personalize it end to end."

I received my scent test kit a couple days ago, and must say I'm loving the process so far! The way that Scent Trunk puts you in the driver's seat with their build your own fragrance model is a really refreshing twist on subscription product services. One question for the team, is there a way for me to see what scents my friends currently have? Or recommend my current scent to a friend?

@ianhansborough You can't see what scents your friends have but maybe we can allow people to share their Scent Test results with friends. We've found that people are always surprised to find out that a scent they love - their friend may just hate!

@william_yin That could definitely be a good add on! If nothing else it would be interesting to compare those sort of differences with my friends. It could also be a point of conversation when I'm sharing it with my friends/family
