Masik Collegiate Fragrances is a fragrance company that was founded to create fine fragrances for colleges and universities. Each school in the Masik collection has a different “signature scent” men’s cologne and women’s perfume. The signature scents are inspired by unique elements of each school such as campus flowers and trees, school colors and landmark and architectural style. The fragrances are officially licensed by each university which means a percentage of each bottle sold goes back to the university’s athletic/scholarship funds. The Masik Collegiate Fragrance collection includes the following schools: Penn State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Louisiana State University, University of Alabama, University of Tennessee, University of Florida, Auburn University, University of Georgia, Florida State University and University of Oklahoma. Masik recently launched their first international fragrance, Waseda University, in Tokyo, Japan. Masik plans to expand the line to more schools over the next several years.
