Yasmine Ison

I’m Yasmine, founder of Scent Bytes and creator of Osmara — a multisensory art form that bridges scent, light, and sound to tell stories through the senses. Rooted in my journey from orphan to intelligence to artist, I explore how fragrance and storytelling can connect memory, belonging, and emotion.
I’m rooted in a lifelong journey of reconnection — from growing up an orphan, to serving in military intelligence, to rebuilding after a layoff. Through it all, I’ve sought meaning in how art and science intertwine to shape memory, belonging, and emotion.
Now, I’m creating Osmara, a new art form that engages multiple senses to tell stories through scent, sound, light, and space. Each Osmara invites guests to let go, experience fully, and leave feeling more connected — to themselves and to one another.
This work allows me to transform personal healing into shared experience, giving back through art that awakens the senses and honors our universal need for connection.
