Scent Fair LA is a biennial, international celebration of Artisan, Independent and Experimental scent practices. The first event took place in 2016 at Hammer Museum, and continued in 2018 at the Craft and Folk Art Museum. In 2023, after a Covid-induced hiatus, we return to Los Angeles, joining our friends at Craft Contemporary on Wilshire Blvd. in the heart of the museum district.
Scent Fair LA aims to introduce new audiences to the world of highly conceptual scents. In addition to a curated selection of cutting-edge fragrance makers exhibiting and selling their work, the fair includes a number of related programs includes hands-on workshops, an opening night party with special guest DJs, and more.
