Raer Scents’ story

Raer Scents is a modern natural perfume house made without compromise: unique handcrafted botanical scents that are made from the finest sustainable natural matières premières in the world. 

Our journey began in 2017, when Raer Scents' Founder, Ted Rohn, was looking for a perfume that was modern and special but also natural and sustainable. He could not find the perfect perfume, so he created it. Together with a friend, he developed the proof-of-concept versions of our first Raer perfumes. 

Raer's collection has now grown to a range of ten perfumes, all created with the same ideals:

Inspired by the Bauhaus tradition and the energy of Berlin, we make modern linear scents from rare traditional plant ingredients­­­ — sustainably grown and ethically harvested of course. We value the process and the craft as much as we do our matières premières and the final product. We create our own formulas without compromising on integrity, cost or quality. We work directly with farmers and small producers to get the best natural ingredients in the world. We handcraft our perfumes ourselves, using time-consuming ancient artisanal perfuming techniques. We handfill every bottle of Raer perfume at our Atelier in Berlin, across the river from Mies van der Rohe's Neue Nationalgalerie. 

We chose to work directly with farmers and small producers around the world to source our ingredients, giving them time and resources to produce the best raw ingredients possible, while making sure they are paid fairly. Our business partner Cynthia Chua invested in a farm in the South of France, which has enabled us to work with farmers to plant our own organic ingredients. We also wild forage for some of our ingredients ourselves. It's an exciting time for us, we're glad you could come along for the journey.
