Why Fragrance Matters
Have you ever smelled freshly baked gingerbread and instantly felt warm and comforted? Or caught a whiff of citrus and felt an energising buzz? That’s the power of scent. Our sense of smell is directly linked to the brain's limbic system, which processes emotions and memories. This means certain fragrances can instantly influence how we feel, think, and even behave.
Whether you’re looking to create a calming retreat, an energising workspace, or a warm, inviting atmosphere, fragrance is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to do it.

Using Fragrance to Create Zones in Your Home
Fragrance isn’t just about smelling nice - it obviously helps a little, but ultimately it’s a tool for setting intentions and defining spaces. By pairing specific scents with different areas of your home, you can subtly signal to your brain how to feel and behave in those spaces.
The Energising Zone: Use bright, zesty scents like citrus in spaces where you need focus and energy, such as your home office or kitchen.
The Relaxation Zone: Reserve calming florals or warm spices or sweet indulgent fragrances for bedrooms and living rooms to create a soothing and enchanting retreat.
The Refreshing Zone: Fresh, clean scents are perfect for bathrooms and hallways to keep them smelling crisp and inviting.
