Job description

About Scento

Scento is Europe's largest perfume decant website. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Paris on Place Vendôme, with a second office in Berlin, Scento offers more than 1,000 original designer and niche perfumes from a roster of 200 houses as perfume decants: 2 ml, 5 ml and 8 ml vials plus a 30 ml bottle on most perfumes. Niche perfume samples and designer fragrance samples let people discover a scent before they commit to a full bottle. Every perfume is an original bought from authorised European retailers, and every bottle passes a 12-point intake check at Scento's ISO-certified facility before it is decanted. Scento serves customers in 27 European markets and ships to 26 EU countries. In 2026, Scento's annual revenue is more than €30 million, online and offline sales combined. On Scento.com, monthly decant sales in September 2026 were 3.2 times those of January 2026. Scento says it sells more than 3 million perfume decants a year, about one every 10 seconds. In November 2025, Scento announced it would invest €25 million over three years in European perfume discovery.

The role

Scento brings more than 1,000 original designer and niche perfumes from a roster of 200 houses to customers across Europe, and the brand has to feel as considered as the fragrances it carries. Today it has to do two jobs at once: look like a luxury house and perform like a growth business. Success means a recognisable brand, a creative engine that ships strong work every week in several languages, and campaigns, from seasonal launches to the perfume advent calendar, that people remember and buy from.

What you'll do

• Own the Scento brand across the storefront, packaging, social, paid creative, emails and the Paris presence on Place Vendôme.
• Lead creative direction for campaigns: seasonal launches, the perfume advent calendar, gifting and new houses.
• Build and run a high-output creative engine for paid social and organic content in several languages.
• Keep a luxury, editorial standard while testing fast alongside performance marketing.
• Brief and direct photographers, designers, motion designers and creators.
• Own the brand guidelines and keep every market consistent with them.

What you'll bring

• 8+ years in brand or creative direction, ideally in luxury, beauty, fragrance or premium e-commerce.
• A portfolio that shows both brand craft and performance creative that sells.
• Experience leading designers and agencies across several markets.
• Fluent English; French is a strong plus.

What we offer

• Salary at the top of the market plus an annual performance bonus.
• Remote-friendly within the EU, with offices in Paris (Place Vendôme) and Berlin.
• Real ownership and fast decisions in a company that is scaling quickly across Europe.
• A generous monthly perfume allowance to explore the whole catalogue.
• The equipment of your choice and a home-office budget.
• A personal learning budget of €2,500 a year for courses, conferences and books.
• Team gatherings in Paris and Berlin.

Salary

Salary: €120,000 – €155,000 gross per year, full-time, permanent contract, plus an annual performance bonus.

Location: Paris or Berlin, or remote from anywhere in the EU.
