Nevin, Founder & CEO of Amperscent shares his story - Amperscent was born out of a personal experience. As a perfume enthusiast & life adventurer, it is my dream to experience all perfumes from across the world. Behind each individual fragrance is an inspirational story of passion and craftsmanship. I love to discover these stories and share them with you.
Since 2015, I started my hobby of perfume collecting. Ever since, I have accumulated over 100+ bottles of perfume from luxury brands like Dior to niche brands like Parfums De Marly to smaller independent brands. As I tried to make this dream a reality, I encountered 3 challenges that faced me:
1. Burnt A Hole In My Pocket - As you know, a single bottle of luxury/niche perfume can cost $100-$1000. I quickly burnt through my 5-digit savings just a few months into starting my collection.
2. Wasted Bottles Of Perfume - I was always itching to try new fragrances and never finished more than half a bottle of perfume. It was difficult to sell used bottles and my room ended up cluttered with half-used perfume bottles.
3. Difficulty In Sampling New Perfumes - I was also unsatisfied with the experience of trying perfume at the shops. Tester paper did not give true on-skin experience and the short 1-day testing period was insufficient. I made several regretful purchases as a result.
I stumbled across the process of decanting from several perfume hobbyist which inspired me to try it out. Starting off, I decanted my full-sized perfume bottles into smaller atomizers and shared them with my friends and family for a small fee. The process enabled me to reduce the cost of buying new perfumes and minimized wastages, clearing space for me to try newer perfumes.
Having a decanted 8ml atomizers also allowed us to experience the scent for up to a month, giving us time to enjoy the full discovery of the perfume’s scent profile and story. Finding success in decanting made me think of transforming my hobby into a full-time business that I was passionate about. It allowed me to make money to continue pursuing my dream of discovering new perfumes.
Hence, I decided to take the plunge and Amperscent is born..
Amperscent is a play on the word Ampersand which is the symbol “&”. I also drew parallels between exploring the perfume universe and space exploration. Every planet or star represents an individual fragrance with its own unique characteristics. The Amperscent atomizer is your rocket ship for scent exploration. Strap in and enjoy the ride..
