NEW YORK, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maesa, the next-gen beauty incubator, continues its fragrance expansion with Scents Unearth'd, a brand that invites you to discover off-the-beaten path scent stories that celebrate people, cultures, and ingredients from around the world. Now available exclusively at Target stores nationwide and Target.com.

"Scents Unearth'd represents a new way of thinking about fragrance at mass — one that honors culture, curiosity, and thoughtful expression," says Nadia Khan, Senior Vice President, Brand Marketing for Maesa. "From the beginning, our goal was to build a brand that feels intentional and differentiated, while remaining accessible. Launching Scents Unearth'd allows us to expand our fragrance portfolio to a brand rooted in the art of authentic storytelling that is celebratory and elevated."

"This brand was born from a deep desire to see my own cultures represented in the fragrance category. We wanted to fill an unmet consumer need & want for more connection to heritage through scent. Each fragrance is an homage and olfactive expression of the communities, people, ingredients that make a culture come to life," says Shana Finkelstein Turano, Vice President Brand Incubation & Product Innovation.

The Scents Unearth'd assortment invites you to explore five fragrances, each telling a scent story that reflects the beautiful heritage or history of a place, crafted with ingredients that reflect the soul of each location.

The scents are offered as both an Eau de Parfum (MSRP $34.99) and Perfume & Air Mist (MSRP $16.99), along with a Scent Discovery Set (MSRP $24.99).
