THE POWER OF SCENT

Scent scaping 101

Here at The Muses we're all about using the power of fragrance to boost our at-home routine and wellbeing.

Scent scaping is about using fragrance to transform the feel of each space in your home. Just like lighting or music, the right scent sets the tone and helps shape your mood. Whether it’s energising your workspace or bringing calm to your bedroom, you can create distinct atmospheres by pairing fragrances with specific activities. Build rituals around your scents, and watch how they naturally help you shift between focus, relaxation, and everything in between. It’s all about enhancing how you live in your space.

The power of fragrance

Ever noticed how a scent can shift your whole mood? Smell affects 75% of our emotions, helping us recall memories, change our mindset, and even influence decisions. Using fragrance is the perfect way to structure your day, helping you set boundaries and stay focused. By building rituals with specific scents, your brain learns when to switch between work mode, unwind, or anything in between.

Using scent from am to pm

Your at-home routine shifts throughout the week, and so should your fragrance. A simple way to set boundaries between your workday and downtime is by using different scents. If your living room doubles as your office and your place to unwind, try one fragrance during work hours and switch to another in the evening. It’s an effortless way to signal to your brain that it’s time to relax and recharge after a busy day.

Pair scents to your activity or focus

Switch things up by choosing different fragrances to match your main activities and the mood you want to create. Need to power through a to-do list or work from home? Opt for scents that boost energy and focus. When it’s time to move from tasks you have to do to those you want to do, lighter, more uplifting fragrances can inspire. And if you’re tackling that mid-afternoon slump or gearing up for a home workout, reach for mood-boosting scents to keep you going.

Match your scents to your interior

Fragrance is a fun way to add depth to your interior style. It can be as simple as pairing scents with your colour scheme or wallpaper. Got floral wallpaper? Complement it with fragrances that have soft, floral notes. Or match the fragrance to the room’s function—zesty citrus scents work perfectly in a home office, while calming florals are a great fit for the bathroom. It’s all about enhancing your space and mood effortlessly.
