Inspiration
CARNET™ is a notebook and passport to curiosity. It was conceived as a playful, informal space to create quality, uniquely-designed handcrafted goods in the service of play, leisure and our imaginations.
Slowly contemplating scent and ritual is a gift.
Luxury is a celebration of time, craft and the handmade.
Imperfection and unexpected trajectories should be celebrated.
Lovingly-designed products made of rare, exquisite ingredients can alter perspectives.

CARNET™ is a family business founded by pioneering artist, scentmaker and author Catherine Haley Epstein. After years spent integrating scent into her art exhibits and obtaining critical acclaim for her experimental fragrances, she launched CARNET™ in 2020 to bring her creations to a broader audience.
Catherine’s Nose Dive: A Book for the Curious Seeking Potential Through Their Noses was published in 2019 and to-date has been purchased by readers in over 30 countries across six continents. In 2020 she founded Odorbet, a source for expanding our vocabulary around the practice of scent. Via Mindmarrow® she blogs about contemporary art and art practice, and continues to explore interdisciplinary projects that expand our definition of art.
