Kristiansand New York was conceived in 2009 when two Norwegians, Britt Hovde Ross and actress Elisabeth Steen, met for the first time in NYC through mutual friends at a chic Soho store opening. Britt always dreamed of making her own fragrance even as a little girl. And with Elisabeth’s background in cosmetics and fragrance marketing, the two friends set out on a mission. They decided they wanted to make a men’s fragrance because there were few on the market they really loved and they wanted to make the sexiest fragrance possible. And what better way to create a fragrance than combining inspirations from the two places Britt and Elisabeth love most…New York and Kristiansand!
