THE SENSE OF SCENT

Smell has profoundly shaped humanity, acting as a gateway to our sixth sense—the intangible aspect of our existence.

Nature's answer

In ancient cultures, scent enriched rituals and daily life. Although their methods were simpler, they fostered a deep connection to natural materials that created these fragrances. These elements embody nature's treasures - an exquisite blend of fire, water, air and earth - sourced from sunlight, rain, soil, and oxygen. Embracing the power of scent reconnects us to our roots and the beauty of the world around us.

Our sense of smell

The brain's 4000 receptors situated in the mouth and nose can detect odour components, triggering an olfactory evoked recall, a recollection of past memory induced by a specific scent. They also have the capacity to soothe associated memories and quell anxiety surrounding them.
