AROMATIC
IMPRESSION
MANY FACTORS PLAY INTO CONVEYING
THE RIGHT IMPRESSION. WHEN HAVING
COMPANY AT HOME OR CREATING THE
PERFECT MOMENT, DON’T NEGLECT TO
ENGAGE THROUGH SCENT. CREATE A
WELL-ROUNDED IMPRESSION THAT
ENGAGES EVERY SENSE OF THE BODY.

Lean to the rule of simplicity when it
comes to fragrance, and the easiest
way to go is to just pick the right
soap. The Cedar Wood soap contains cedar wood oil used by Native
Americans for its effect on the mind
and spirit; cedar wood oil brings on
the release of toxins and promotes
circulation. This warm, woody extract
enhances the skin and hair without
a stuffy or overpowering scent.
Available at Biscuit Home.

Ozo scented incense pyres by Blackbird are perfect to fill a new space with
the feeling of home. Ozo carries notes of rose, sandalwood and anise seed
resulting in a strong, floral and wood fragrance. The lid acts as a burner and
one cone burns for 15 minutes with a scent longevity of 2–4 hours. For other
scent options, visit Biscuit Home.

Body chemistry has everything to do
with how fragrances smell but even
that doesn’t guarantee that you won’t
end up wearing the same cologne
your significant other’s dad or ex
wears! D.S. & Durga scents are
crafted by hand in small batches
using balsams, resins, plant oils and
premium perfume ingredients. A personal favorite is Coriander with notes
of sparkling leaf, cubeb, green pepper and cracked Ukrainian coriander
seed. For more information, visit

Natural scents that are subtle and
realistic are the key in creating an
environment that is welcoming. Ideally
you want someone to assume that
you have flowers in your room and
not feel like you just fumigated the
room with a spray. Izola candles
are subtle, nat \
