My Why

Hi, I’m Mike Terry — the founder of CarterMichael ScentThread.

In December 2023, life hit pause. I was in a serious accident that left me recovering from broken bones and limited mobility. While healing, I found myself drawn to scent — not just for how it made me feel, but for how it helped me remember who I was.

CarterMichael ScentThread was born during that time — a tribute to my sons Carter, Michael, and Bryson, and my wife Madison, who stayed strong by my side. Every sample kit is built from real, premium colognes and designed to help people explore scent in an affordable, intentional way.

This isn’t just about smelling good. It’s about feeling something — bold, nostalgic, grounded, confident. 

We give $1 from every purchase to support kids battling juvenile arthritis through the Arthritis Foundation.

Thanks for being here. I hope you find a scent that makes you feel something powerful.

— Mike
