The basis of aromacology, the science of scent, lies in the fact that smell is the most powerful of the senses, scoring a direct hit on the most primal part of the brain, home of the emotions. We lift aromacology* to wonderful artistry with atmospheric candles of humor, insight and style. Here are just some of the scents we use to create our provocative moods…


*THE STUDIES:
The Scientific Basis for Aromatherapy Interventions Candles

“In 1988, Shizuo Torii, a professor at Toho University, began to research the sense of smell. Through measuring the brain waves of subjects after they smelled a particular fragrance, Torii found that some scents produced a brain-wave pattern that indicated calm, while others produced a pattern that indicated stimulation. It was discovered, for example, that lemon and peppermint have a stimulating effect; nutmeg and lavender reduce stress; a mix of rosemary and lemon will improve concentration; and chamomile and lavender encourage relaxation. Workers are roused and refreshed by a citrus scent early in the morning and after lunch. At midmorning and midafternoon, a floral scent is released to calm the workers and encourage concentration. During lunch and at the end of the day, a woodland scent relaxes the employees and helps them wind down after a full day at work…”
