Our Story

Lehst Fragrance Co. started because I got tired of bad dupes.

I love fragrance, but I did not love paying designer prices, so I tried the dupe route. A lot of it smelled fine at first and then quickly showed its flaws. Thin. Harsh. Gone way too fast. Too many brands talked luxury and delivered shortcuts.

At some point I stopped buying and decided to build what I actually wanted to wear.

Lehst is about quality, nothing more complicated than that. If something smells cheap, burns the nose, or disappears before lunch, it does not get sold. Everything here is something I wear myself.

No fake luxury. No watered down formulas. Just solid fragrances that do what they are supposed to do.

I am still working a day job while building this, which keeps me honest and picky. The goal is to take this full time.
