As a tech start-up business, with a proprietary technology platform and a disruptive business model, our ambition is to be the destination for beauty lovers.
As the digital platform scaled, currently capturing 1% of the prestige fragrance market, SCENTBIRD expanded by launching a namesake line of scented home and personal care products. In early 2017, the team ventured into the world of color cosmetics and created Deck of Scarlet, a multi-media focused cosmetic brand inspired by the trends of today’s most notable influencers.
