Exposing How Scent Hijacks Your Brain (In a Good Way)
Have you ever noticed how one scent can calm you instantly… while another wakes you right up?
This isn’t wishful thinking or wellness mythology - it’s neuroscience.
Your sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system, the part of your brain that manages emotions, stress and memory. That means scents reach your mood centre faster than your thoughts can catch up. It’s one of the quickest, most natural ways to shift how you feel.
This is exactly why we created our Calm and Energise sprays, using organic essential oils sourced from Madagascar - a region renowned for its powerful botanical extracts and healing traditions.
Why scent affects your mood so quickly
When you inhale an aroma, tiny molecules travel from the nose straight to the brain.
No detours. No thinking. No overprocessing.
This direct pathway explains why aromatherapy can:
• Reduce stress in seconds
• Lift your energy naturally
• Ground you before yoga or meditation
• Help you focus when your mind feels scattered
Your body responds before you even realise the shift has happened.
Calm Spray: soften your nervous system
Our Calm spray blend combines two essential oils from Madagascar:
Tea Tree
• Fresh and grounding
• Clears mental fog
• Helps deepen the breath
Ylang Ylang
• Naturally soothing
• Reduces tension
• Encourages relaxation
Together, they create a gentle, steady sense of calm: ideal for unwinding after work, preparing for yoga, easing into meditation or creating a restful evening routine.
Energise Spray: clarity without caffeine
Our Energise Spray blend pairs Tea Tree with:
Ravintsara
• Uplifting and refreshing
• Increases alertness
• Supports mental clarity
If the Calm spray brings you down to earth, Energise lifts you back up. It’s perfect for the afternoon slump, pre-meeting focus, or setting the tone for an energising yoga practice.
A simple wellbeing ritual
You don’t need a long routine or complex steps.
Just:
Shake → spray → inhale.
Let your nervous system do the rest.
Both sprays are handmade in London using natural ingredients and reusable glass + bamboo bottles - designed to support your wellbeing and your values.
