THE UNIVERSE

Designed for every layer of your life-home, linen & body.

ABOUT

UNIVERSE OF HARTH WAS BUILT ON A SINGLE BELIEF: SCENT DOESN'T STOP AT THE BODY.

It belongs to the room before you walk in, the linen your guests sleep in, the air that holds the memory of you long after you've gone. Founded in Chicago in 2021, Universe of Harth makes universal sprays that are skin-safe, linen-safe, and room-ready. This Universe are for those who have always known that fragrance was bigger than a bottle on a dresser. Recognized by Essence as Best in Beauty in 2025, featured by BET, CBS, and Block Club Chicago, and worn in the spaces of Soho House, The Emily Hotel, and Google — Universe of Harth is not a fragrance brand that asks you to browse. It is a brand that asks you one question: what do you want your world to smell like? Every scent in the collection is an answer to that question. Every surface of your life is where it belongs.
STOCKISTS

Purposeful Formulation

Our formula was created to be layered into your life however you see fit. Belief that a great scent should live everywhere you do.

Cultural Intention

Our Universal Sprays were intentionally crafted to be layered and paired with other Universe of Harth fragrances,  inviting wearers to build their own signature scent story. 

Cultural Artifact

We approach perfumery as both an art form and a scholarly practice — researching, developing, and publishing fragrances that tell stories beyond the bottle. 

AMANDA

AMANDA CHRISTINE HARTH DIDN'T SET OUT TO BUILD A FRAGRANCE BRAND. SHE SET OUT TO BUILD AN ATMOSPHERE.

FOUNDER

The first scent she created was Harth, her namesake.It smelled like her grandmother's kitchen at Christmas: amaretto, tonka, clove, and every memory that lives in a room full of people you love. That act of making something deeply personal and sharing it with the world became the foundation of everything Universe of Harth is. Amanda is the nose, the founder, the voice on the other end of the Scent Line, and the reason this brand exists in a category that has spent a century telling people what they should smell like. She built something different. A brand that listens first, recommends with confidence, and believes that the right scent doesn't just change how you smell. It changes how a room feels, how a memory forms, and how a life is inhabited. Universe of Harth is her universe. She's simply sharing it with you.
