Votive Set

Three iconic Kismet Olfactive fragrances—Studio Scent, The Poet, and Tuberose Tantra—captured in hand-poured 3oz votives that burn clean and slow for roughly 20 hours each.

Crafted from organic wax with pure cotton wicks, these luminous glass vessels deliver uncompromising luxury without the compromise. Arrives in an embossed keepsake box with a custom matchbook—bold enough to gift, intimate enough to keep for yourself. 

STUDIO SCENT
An evocative fig fragrance inviting bohemian spirits to the space in which we live and work. Comforting and glowing—get lost in time.

THE POET
Soft-spoken, coolly composed, & worldly wise. A cocooning amber-wood evoking a quiet night in, reading by the firelight.

TUBEROSE TANTRA
An erotic floral fragrance inspired by Eastern sex magic practices. Perfect for setting the bedroom mood.

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

Born and raised in California, Shabnam—Farsi for “morning dew”—is the daughter of Iranian-immigrant parents who escaped the violent 1979 Revolution in Iran, relocating to the U.S. by way of hard-won efforts and a string of good fortune.

Recognizing this fortuitous past, Kismet—from the Persian qismat, meaning “fate,” or, “what is meant to be”—translates the serendipitous moments that make up our lives into wearable scents.

Kismet fragrances are made by hand in small batches, are unfiltered, and contain a high concentration of natural raw materials—therefore, some cloudiness or sediment may occur.
