Aien Mokhtar is a Malaysian perfumer and the founder of OLFAC3 Perfumes, an independent luxury fragrance house based in Bali. As a rare voice in the global niche perfume world, she brings the perspective of a female Asian creator to a landscape long dominated by Western traditions.

Her journey began at age 13, when her mother gifted her a bottle of Ô de Lancôme. That single gesture — bright with citrus and nostalgia — awakened a lifelong love of scent and its power to evoke memory. From the chimney smoke of Belgrade winters to the stillness of a Sunday morning in Venice, Aien’s perfumes are shaped by places she’s lived, loved, and wandered through.

Aien's design philosophy centers on the belief that scent is a powerful vessel for memory, emotion, and storytelling. Each of her creations is crafted not merely as a fragrance, but as an olfactory narrative - rooted in personal experience, cultural memory, and a deep reverence for place. In each fragrance, she blends story, emotion, and artisanal precision — crafting scents that are intimate, luminous, and transportive. Her studio in Bali is not just a space of creation, but a sanctuary where time slows, senses awaken, and memory takes form.

What makes her work truly special is her ability to blend artisanal craftsmanship with poetic sensibility, drawing from her Asian heritage and global travels to compose scents that feel intimate, evocative, and transportive. Her perfumes speak a language of feeling - connecting wearers to moments, memories, and meaning beyond the bottle.

Through OLFAC3 Perfumes, Aien invites others into her world — one perfume at a time.
