Kismet Olfactive Embarcadero (San Francisco) Eau de Parfum

The Embarcadero whispers stories of red brick corridors kissed by coastal cypress, where fir forests meet the embrace of tree moss.

You walk along wharf planks that hum with the rhythm of tides, their weathered grains holding secrets of waterfront days. California herbs bloom in the air, a quiet rebellion against the city’s ever-shifting pulse—a place where revolutionaries once gathered and tech pioneers now dream.

Top: Bergamot
Heart: Galbanum, Violet Leaves, Labdanum
Base: Patchouli, Vetiver, Oakmoss

This is San Francisco, undefined and timeless, captured in every layered note that lingers like the city’s enduring spirit.

Kismet Olfactive, a New York City-based fragrance studio, was founded by bohemian-perfumer Shabnam Tavakol.

Drawing inspiration from her background as the daughter of Iranian immigrants and the concept of “kismet” (fate) from the Persian “qismat,” Shabnam translates life’s serendipitous moments into wearable scents.

The brand’s creations include the Common Ground collection, now available to experience in person at Stéle, and the celebrated Classic collection.
