About the maker
The New Savant
THE NEW SAVANT was born in December 2020 - literally with a crock pot and a dream. Their first collection of 500 candles sold out in seven minutes, and since then they’ve made and sold thousands of candles - thanks to a fiercely loyal community of Savants.
Their differentiator is simple: they are creating entirely new scent experiences for the next generation. They're taking people to emotional destinations through stories – like Androgyne which began with a love of Paris. It's an exploration of sensuality and the space beyond binaries. Neither masculine nor feminine, this is a scent that seems to shift ever so slightly with time. If "je ne sais quoi" could be embodied in a fragrance, this would be it.
THE NEW SAVANT scents use high quality ingredients and small-batch artisan techniques. They work with one of the top fragrance houses in the world to bring their imaginative scents to life. This means all of their candles use custom-made, premium fragrance oils you won’t find anywhere else. Vegan, too.
THE NEW SAVANT, which is based in Brooklyn, is headed by co-founders Erica and Ingrid. The company is proudly LGBTQ, AAPI and women-owned.
