No. 04 — Smoked Fig & Cedar
Azht began in 2019 on a folding table in a Brooklyn studio, founded by former fine-fragrance developer Lina Osei and scent designer Marcus Velez. Six years later we are fourteen people, three master perfumers and a library of more than twelve hundred raw materials — and we still pour every candle in batches small enough to stir by hand.
We do not copy what is trending. We build each scent the way a perfumer builds a fragrance: top, heart and base notes, reworked dozens of times until the cold throw passes our 72-hour studio test. Fewer than six percent of new formulas pass on the first attempt. The rest go back to the bench.
What you take home is not a white-label vessel with a mood-board label. It is a composition — restrained, deliberate, and built to live in a room rather than announce itself across one.
Each family below is a starting point — a single mood, expressed across a candle, a reed diffuser and a room spray so the room stays consistent as the seasons change.
Every fragrance is built by a trained perfumer from a 1,200-ingredient palette. Nothing on our shelf is a white-label template renamed for the season.
Hand-poured in batches of 200 units or fewer in our Wythe Avenue studio. No production line, no automation, no compromise on the cold pour.
Every formula sits unlit in a studio room for three days before it ships. Fewer than 6% of submissions pass on the first attempt — the rest go back to the bench.
Our refill program has kept 8.2 tons of glass out of landfill. Vessels are built to live on a shelf for a decade — refills cost less and cut packaging waste by 64%.
