Bentala at The Scents Studio: Celebrating Indonesian Fragrance Artistry
Where heritage, artistry, and scent converged
From 9–12 October 2025, Bentala participated in The Scents Studio, a perfume exhibition hosted by Female Daily Studio at the Grand Indonesia Exhibition Hall in Jakarta — bringing together over 40 local fragrance brands in one celebration of Indonesian scent creativity. For Bentala, a local Indonesian fragrance brand rooted in heritage and personal storytelling, this marked an important milestone — our very first exhibition in Jakarta.
A Moment of Recognition
We are honored to be named one of the Top 10 Finalists in the Asia Perfume Awards 2025 for the Emerging Perfume Brand category — and proud to represent Indonesia as the only local brand on the list. The finalists include outstanding brands from the Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan — a beautiful reflection of Asia and Oceania’s diverse fragrance artistry. Hosted by the Asia Perfume Foundation, one of the world’s most respected perfume organizations, this recognition celebrates the evolving perfume landscape across the region. This reinforces our mission and deepens our commitment to craft excellence rooted in Indonesia’s soul.
A Sensory Invitation
Visitors explored Bentala’s signature scents at our booth — curated to evoke Indonesia’s natural landscapes, from earthy woods to sea breezes. The exhibition is a celebration of connection, creativity, and courage to share what we hold dear: expressing our local heritage, the art of bottling emotions, and transforming them into stories that can be worn. Each fragrance served as an invitation: to pause, feel, and reconnect with one’s inner journey.
More Than an Exhibition
The Scents Studio was not just a showcase — it became a space and a community between creators, fragrance enthusiasts, and curious explorers. The stories shared, the questions asked, and the moments of resonance made it a rich tapestry of experience.
As Bentala continues to grow, this event reminds us of our purpose: not just to craft beautiful perfumes, but to bottle culture, emotion, and identity. We remain dedicated to being a voice for Indonesian fragrance on the global stage. Thank you for all Bentala friends who visited and meet us. We hope to see you again at the next event.
