Gem Scent’s operations are based in North Palm Beach, Florida, with a wholly owned manufacturing operation in the Dominican Republic. We compensate our people with fair, ethical wages. We offset carbon emissions through solar power, recycling, reduction of single-use plastics, and waste reduction programs. We also support environmental causes, with a particular focus on creating a sustainable future for our oceans. One of our favourite organizations is Beneath the Waves, a non-profit dedicated to advancing the conservation of sharks, their habitats and broader ocean health.

Far more than the senses of sight, sound, touch, or taste, did you know the sense of smell is most closely linked to memorable experiences and emotional connections? As the most powerful and emotional of all the senses, your sense of smell is the first sense you used when you were born. As adults, we can distinguish between 10,000 different smells.

Aroma beads are tiny colorful beads that are able to absorb a high concentration of fragrance oils. Unlike conventional potpourri and disposable cardboard air fresheners, this higher absorption and heavier concentration ensure a stronger and much longer-lasting fragrance—5x longer!

Our aroma beads are placed in high quality, breathable fabric with bold, fresh prints. The looped string makes it easy to hang them anywhere or take them anywhere for any occasion.
