Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Scent Bytes?
A: Scent Bytes is a discreet fragrance atelier and membership house curating exceptional releases from independent perfumers you won’t find in big-box channels. We specialize in seasonal archives, limited discovery sets, and immersive olfactory performances where fragrance, music, and story converge as living art.

Q: Are your fragrances dupes?
A: No. While we maintain a public dupe/twin database for education, every offering in our collections is an original composition from global artisans. Our focus is artistry, authenticity, and impact.

Q: What sizes are the decants?
A: Each curated set includes a tailored mix of 3 ml and/or 5 ml decants—rollerballs or atomizers—chosen to suit each formula. Select fragrances are carefully rebottled in-house into high-quality glass vials, labeled, and sealed for a seamless, elevated discovery experience.

Q: Can I buy a full-size bottle?
A: Members may reserve full-size bottles from the decants featured in their set. Availability depends on the house and cycle, and delivery timelines reflect the artisan’s own production schedule.

Q: Are all scents available year-round?
A: No. Like a great story, our sets are seasonal, limited, and intentionally crafted. Some may return in future cycles, but most will not. If a set sells out, you’re welcome to contact us—we may have reserved stock or be able to source more on your behalf.

Q: I have sensory sensitivities—am I a fit?
A: Yes. Our founder is autistic and has synesthesia, so curation is built with sensory awareness in mind. We emphasize balance, clarity, and guidance, so exploration can be both comfortable and enriching.

Q: Is this invite-only?
A: Memberships are open but limited, with private tiers and waitlists for more exclusive offerings such as Scent Breach, the Archive, and The Atelier Sequence. If capacity is reached, you may request access or join the waitlist via our homepage. This ensures quality and protects the member experience.

Q: How do I become a featured artisan or vendor?
A: We’d love to hear from you. Please reach out via Contact with your brand story, ingredient philosophy, and process details. We prioritize houses that align with our values of artistry, integrity, sustainability, and quiet impact.
