Corbin Chamberlin develops each Sage & Salt scent personally, building compositions around moon cycles and ritual rather than conventional perfumery. He founded the house in New York in 2014, leaving fashion journalism to create a room spray that led him into personal fragrance. The process begins with research into spiritual materials tied to the full and new moons, alongside personal scent memory. Each formula is finished with a ritual step tied to the objects that shaped the brand's identity.
