Salt & Stone

Salt & Stone is a Los Angeles body-care and fragrance brand founded in 2017 by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali. The company was created for active lifestyles, combining skincare and self-care products with formulas influenced by the sea and mountains. Its product philosophy links performance, wellness, and scent rather than treating fragrance as a separate category.

The brand's fragrance direction is broad but consistently modern and unisex. Its releases include Bergamot & Hinoki, Santal & Vetiver, Black Rose & Oud, Lily & Yuzu, Neroli & Basil, and Saffron & Cedar. These names point to a collection spanning citrus, aromatic woods, sandalwood, vetiver, florals, and oud, with a clean, nature-led presentation. Salt & Stone's identity is strongest where functional body care meets noticeable fragrance, although the range is less centered on a single signature perfume style than traditional perfume houses.

Salt & Stone remains Los Angeles-based and, in March 2026, Advent International announced an agreement to acquire a majority stake while Jalali remained an equity holder. The brand is therefore best described as an independent-origin premium body-care label transitioning to private-equity ownership, rather than a conventional designer fragrance house.
