Anyone Can Be a New Savant

The New Savant is for the curious. The original thinkers. For those who dare to be themselves, even when it means standing out. 

It’s a name we chose to honor the self-made path in life, and it’s one that belongs to everyone who challenges expectations.

Making a New Kind of Scents

Our sense of smell is powerful. It can unlock memories, influence our emotions, and can even be strengthened over time, just like a muscle. There’s no end to what we can smell—and we’re out to prove it.
At The New Savant, we craft daring fragrances that transport you to emotional destinations. Working closely with a team of talented perfumers, Ingrid draws on her imagination to create unique fragrances you won’t smell anywhere else, sparking a conversation that continues with you.

A Way to Hit Pause

The world moves at a fast pace, and it can be hard to keep up. At The New Savant, our goal is to slow things down, creating exceptional analog experiences that spark conversations.

Our Brooklyn studio serves as our homebase and our incubator, where we dream up new products, connect with our community, and add in those personal touches as we box up orders.
