Welcome to Raiders of the Lost Scent
Raiders of the Lost Scent is an independent editorial project dedicated to the exploration and preservation of vintage perfumes and discontinued fragrances. What began years ago as a personal journey into the world of forgotten scents has evolved into a respected reference point for collectors, enthusiasts, and fragrance historians.
Our Story
The project was born from a fascination with vintage fragrances, creations that have been discontinued, reformulated, or lost to time. Through years of hands-on collecting, research, and study, Raiders of the Lost Scent has grown into a carefully curated archive of olfactory history.
Raiders of the Lost Scent was established in 2009 by Andre and Dani, whose family lineage in the art of perfumery dates back to 1919. Having been immersed in the fragrance industry from a young age, they brought a lifetime of olfactory expertise to the project. Over the years, the founding team has expanded to include a dedicated collective of specialists and historians, all united by a shared passion for the study and preservation of vintage perfumery.
Vintage perfumes are more than fragrances: they are cultural artifacts, works of craftsmanship, and emotional time capsules. Each article reflects direct experience with original bottles, historical documentation, batch analysis, and long-term observation of the vintage fragrance market.

Keep in mind that it is nearly impossible to determine whether a perfume is authentic or fake, based on the description alone. It is extremely difficult to tell, even with photographs. Fake or counterfeit perfume manufacturers have reached such a high level of sophistication that it is impossible to determine the authenticity of a perfume without actually holding it in your hands.
