SMER is more than just a fragrance brand; it embodies effortless sophistication. Established by Edward Hansen, an interior designer who deeply appreciates scent’s transformative power, SMER seamlessly blends design, memory, and emotion into every product. Rooted in the philosophy that scent is as defining as personal style, the brand crafts luxury candles and personal fragrances that echo the confidence of a well-worn pair of jeans and a crisp white tee—timeless, sensual, and effortlessly cool.

Denim and Fragrance: An Ideal Match

Denim is often seen as a symbol of timeless style, evolving with wear to become personal. SMER takes inspiration from this idea, translating the simplicity of denim into fragrance. Each scent in the collection reflects a different shade of denim, from the light-wash inspiration behind Bois du Matin to the deeper tones of upcoming releases. Like denim, SMER fragrances aim to be versatile, wearable, and open to individual interpretation.

From Country to Bondi Beach: A New Chapter

Hansen’s earliest scent memories are rooted in the natural world of his family estate—rain-soaked moss, aged timber, and the crispness of early mornings. These sensory impressions became the foundation of SMER’s signature scents, crafted with notes like Bergamot, Sandalwood, and Smoked Amber to evoke an intensely personal yet universally appealing experience.

Now, SMER is embarking on its next chapter: opening its first flagship store in Bondi Beach in April 2025. This space will be an immersive expression of SMER, allowing customers to experience the brand’s signature fragrances in a setting that reflects its philosophy—minimal, inviting, and undeniably stylish. The store will showcase SMER’s range, from its cult-favorite scented candles to its Eau de Parfum collection, alongside exclusive in-store experiences.

Introducing Two New SMER Scents

To celebrate the flagship launch, SMER will debut two highly anticipated scents: Crème Denim and Mid Blue Denim.

• Crème Denim: Built around the essence of a sleepless night in Paris, this fragrance captures the city’s allure after dark—soft, sensual, and intimate. 
• Mid-Blue Denim: Inspired by memories of traveling through Canada, this scent encapsulates crisp air, vast landscapes, and the quiet beauty of nature.

Crafted with Intention: Handmade Luxury Candles and Fragrances

Every SMER product is handcrafted in Sydney with meticulous attention to detail. From the carefully curated fragrance compositions to the hand-poured candles, SMER prioritizes quality and craftsmanship. The earliest candles were even hand-labeled by Hansen’s mother, Sara, and her best friend, Wendy—a testament to the personal touch that defines the brand.

SMER’s candles are made to fill a space with lasting, immersive scents crafted from high-quality ingredients. Rather than using overpowering blends, SMER focuses on balance, allowing each fragrance to enhance a room subtly. Signature scents like Bois du Matin reflect this approach, offering a refined yet approachable olfactory experience.

Luxury Fragrance Expertise Meets Australian Innovation

While proudly based in Sydney, SMER’s fragrance expertise extends globally. The brand’s in-house perfumer is trained in Grasse, France—the world’s perfume capital—and helps develop every scent with precision and artistry. SMER blends European fragrance traditions with Australian creativity, offering scents that stand out in the luxury market.

The Future of SMER: Expanding the Denim Fragrance Universe

With the Bondi Beach flagship opening in April 2025, SMER is poised to expand its reach globally. This flagship store will be the first of many, serving as a sensory-driven destination where customers can explore the full breadth of SMER’s collections.

Beyond Bondi, the brand has ambitious plans to introduce new scent experiences, including a range of body care products, gift sets, and exclusive collaborations. Each new launch will continue to reinforce SMER’s identity—rooted in timeless style, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the evocative power of scent.
