Fragrance house

MiN New York

Founded in 1999 by Chad Murawczyk, MiN New York began in his parents’ basement importing hair products before expanding into fragrance. Its early identity combined curated niche fragrance and grooming products with a personalized retail experience that helped connect brands lacking a U.S. market presence with customers. In 2014, MiN launched SCENT STORIES, a private-label collection first presented to members; its opening volume comprised 11 abstract scents inspired by memory and photographs. SCENT STORIES remains the brand’s clearest fragrance legacy, treating each scent as a chapter and each collection as a volume while translating lived experience into perfume. MiN’s creative identity joins an independent New York perspective to French perfumery craft: its fragrances are conceived through the brand’s creative direction and made in France. Murawczyk’s inspirations include nature, travel, music, photography, history, and world culture, which are developed into fragrance narratives.
