The science of scent is a fascinating subject. A sense that evokes potent emotional and physical reactions in humans, scent plays a major part in everyday life.

To break down the science, smell is distinct from other primary senses in the fact that it is connected to the olfactory cortex, the part of the brain responsible for emotions and memory. Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it. In other words, the ability to experience and express emotion grows directly out of our brain’s ability to process smell.

So much time is spent on home furnishings, the perfect furniture and finding an interior design that suits, yet it’s home scents that really play the part in making a house a home – that gives a space an essence, of what it is.
