About Us

 

So glad you are here! My name is Stacey and I am the owner and founder of Memento Scents. (That's me in the middle-right with my two kids and my niece in our favourite place!) My love of all things Disney started this journey when I discovered something called Scent Branding! Scent Branding is the science behind creating a targeted, signature scent that is associated with a particular brand.   Scent, emotion and memory are all intricately intertwined, what a magical discovery!  When I was able to recreate many of these scents - like our favourite Disney hotel lobby scent or the smell of the ocean from one of our favourite rides - I was able to bring back a little of the magic of our vacations into our everyday lives.

While my initial focus was on candles, it later transitioned to perfumery where a newfound love for crafting luxury scents blossomed.  My goal has always been to create products that are inspired by the things and places we love.  

As I dove into the world of perfumery, I discovered two problems. One was affordability.  The luxurious designer and niche perfumes available on the market were extremely expensive and a luxury many cannot afford. So came the question - could I create affordable, luxurious, long lasting perfumes that could compete with the large designer and niche brands? The answer was emphatically YES. Today I have created over 30 scents, the majority of them being 30% concentration putting them into the Eau de parfum/Extrait category. Our perfumes are long lasting and have fantastic projection. I attribute the success of our perfumes to the quality and uniqueness of our fragrance blends. 

The other problem is the availability of unique and exclusive fragrances.  Memento Scents is carving out a unique niche in the local market by offering our own versions of popular designer and niche perfumes but also creating unique trendy perfumes inspired by destinations and passions - an example is our Taylor Swift Inspired perfume collection. Each scent is created to tell the story of a song or album. This is my favourite part of what I do - creating perfumes and candles that tell a story or ignite a memory. While many of the competitors in our local industry are focused on importing pre-made perfumes that only target the designer and niche industry we are distinguishing ourselves by creating our products in house, offering unique scents not found anywhere else. And as a small woman-owned business, we value quality and authenticity. We prioritize affordability, quality, transparency and personalized service and will continue to bring our customers unique luxurious inspired scents without the hefty price tag.
