About the company

Pura designs and sells a smart fragrance system that combines a plug-in diffuser with a smartphone app, functioning as a fragrance marketplace with recurring refills. The core product, such as the Pura 4, plugs in and connects to an app to schedule diffusion, adjust scent intensity, and rotate between two scents while also offering a color-changing nightlight. Fragrances come from exclusive partnerships with brands like Disney, Nest, Capri Blue, Anthropologie, and Apotheke, and are sold directly to consumers with a subscription option for discounted refills, with additional distribution through retailers like Nordstrom, Sephora, and Anthropologie. The company differentiates itself by pairing proprietary hardware with a curated fragrance marketplace and emphasis on clean, pet- and child-safe ingredients, aiming to deliver convenient, connected home scenting and build predictable revenue through subscriptions and brand partnerships.
