Pura’s Story

Join Us at Pura—Reimagining Fragrance for the Future. At Pura, we believe life is better when it smells good. Fragrance has the power to transform spaces, elevate moods, and create lasting memories. We’re pioneering the future of fragrance by blending cutting-edge smart home technology with premium, clean scents to create personalized, meaningful experiences in every home.

We’re on a mission to redefine fragrance as a design element—on par with color, texture, sound, lighting, and furniture. We call this Scent Design — transforming scent from an afterthought into an intentional, skillful component of every space. By blending artistry and science, Pura lets users design their own “scents capes” that enhance daily life and craft environments that feel as good as they smell.

Our journey began with two innovators, Richie Stapler and Bruno Lima, and their vision of revolutionizing how we experience fragrance. Pura has grown into a company that sells a fragrance every 3.7 seconds, partnering with brands like Curio, Anthropologie, and Disney. We’ve been recognized as the Fastest Growing Company in Utah and are passionate about making scent a core part of life’s most memorable moments.

This role blends legal project management, contract lifecycle coordination, technology implementation, and administrative support into one critical position.
