Sixth Scents
The Art of Fragrance
Marian Bendeth had her first taste of fragrance at the age of three when she received a bottle of Muelhens 4711 from her Grandmother in London, England. By the age of four, her first purchase was a miniature of L'Air du Temps by Nina Ricci and the beginning of a life-long love affair with scent.
A born evaluator and keeper of the fragrant flame, she has, over her lifetime, developed a keen and discerning nose for blends and started a personal collection of rare fragrances in her youth.
​
Her evocation became her vocation in 1989 when she opened her consulting company, ‘Sixth Scents’. Bendeth pioneered a new concept never before replicated in the global fragrance industry. To date, she is the only consultant in the world to specialize in this field and is considered a unique fragrance expert of note.
