Co-founders of THE NEW SAVANT
THE NEW SAVANT is a modern scent studio that creates unexpected and daring olfactory experiences. Our community is made up of New Savants: people who believe in their unique selves and celebrate the individuality of those around them.
As a fragrance company, we challenge people to think differently about scent and expand their definition of what smells good. This can be experienced with fragranced candles like Mixed Feelings, which tells the story of co-founder Ingrid Nilsen's mixed-race heritage, or Heatwave, our best-selling scent which centers notes of dill and patchouli.
We are LGBTQIA+, AAPI and women-owned.
A lifelong creative and one-time college dropout, Ingrid Nilsen is the Co-founder, Maker and Chief Creative Officer of THE NEW SAVANT. She loves working with fragrance, dreaming up new scents and bringing her online community slow, IRL experiences that connect on a personal level.
Erica Anderson is Co-Founder and CEO at THE NEW SAVANT. She loves developing businesses that inspire her, especially those that can bring people a sense of ease and joy.
