Scent Lodge is the brainchild of Nicholas Krikorian, a scent executive who travels the world in search of truly interesting brands and scents with fascinating backstories. The former race car driver and large scale painter speaks five languages – all the better when searching for the next great scent brand. From London to Rome to Toronto, he handpicks products that will delight perfume lovers of all ages. He can’t wait to share his stories and finds across this website and various social media platforms.

One of the great joys of discovering a truly great fragrance is sharing that find with fellow perfume lovers. Scent Lodge will encourage dialogue and sharing across all its platforms. Watch for our “Sniff Test” scent reviews by award-winning journalist Nathalie Atkinson and Cityline beauty and fragrance expert Dave Lackie – an exclusive feature on the site. These witty reviews will help you decide which scents to try and which ones to steer clear of. We’ll even have upcoming events in select cities along with master classes streamed on Periscope and Facebook Live to inspire and educate. Be sure to sign up for our biweekly Scent Lodge newsletter to hear the latest information and to enter our exclusive giveaways.

You may have noticed fragrance gift-with-purchase items have become more and more important in the industry. The quality and attention to detail have jumped in recent years. We will show you the very best ones along with why they are special. For example, all Versace fragrance GWPs are designed in Donatella’s Accessories Atelier in Milan – the same building where her ready-to-wear bags, glasses and leather goods are produced. She oversees and approves each and every Versace fragrance gift-with-purchase.
