Scent Beauty, Inc. (https://scentbeauty.com/) - a disruptive, DTC-centric, omnichannel developer of a diversified portfolio of culturally relevant proprietary and exclusively licensed brands - has announced the close of a Series A preferred investment. The raise was led by KSV Global, a Boston-based growth stage investment firm that partners with entrepreneurs who are passionate about transformative growth and are committed to building long-term value and relationships. “We are looking forward to Scent Beauty’s continued growth and international scale thanks in part to this round of funding led by KSV Global,” says Stephen Mormoris, Founder + CEO of Scent Beauty. “In a short period of time, our team has already reimagined and modernized the fragrance category with licensed and proprietary brands including Dolly Parton, Stetson, Simply Natural, CHER, Ron Dorff, Sam Edelman and Scent-Organix, along with upcoming launches for K3 by Kenzo Takada, Kylie Minogue and Carmindy Beauty, among others. The investment will help us continue this upwards trajectory working with the world’s leading brands.”
