Hear From Experts and Customers

Angela Portella: Director of Spa Operations, Equinox Hotels

"These candles are a popular selling item at our spa. Our guests enjoy them not only because they look beautiful but also because they burn clean and evenly"

Dr. Tara Swart: Neuroscientist, lecturer at MIT Sloan

"I feel more optimistic after lighting Dolce Far Niente with the serotonin boost of rose essential oil"

Emily Barna: Loop and Tie Buyer (Corporate Gifting)

"These candles instantly transform the mood of any room, creating a soothing and cozy atmosphere. They are beautifully packaged and always well-received as the perfect gift!"

Ryan Shulman: Spa Director, Auberge Resorts

"Caftari candles burn with purpose. They create a warming sensation that fills the room as soon as you light it. The scent of Nirvana grounds me in my space and has become an instant favorite."

“Many people struggle to wind down at night, and scent plays a more powerful role in sleep than most
realize,” said Dr. Creado. “Nidra’s carefully designed fragrance blend helps cue the brain for rest,
naturally supporting deeper, more restorative sleep.”

– Dr. Shane Creado, Sleep Medicine Physician

The Science Behind Our Scents

Of our five senses, our sense of smell is the only sense that links directly to the limbic system. This area of the brain is responsible for emotions, memory and motivation.

Step 01

When you smell a fragrance, odor molecules are released into the air and travel into your nose.

Step 02

As the fragrance molecules enter your nose, they pass through the nasal cavity, which is lined with specialized sensory receptors called olfactory receptors.

Step 03

The olfactory receptors detect the fragrance molecules and send signals to the olfactory bulb, which is a small structure located at the base of the brain.

Step 04

The olfactory bulb then sends these signals to other areas of the brain, including the limbic system, which is responsible for regulating emotions, memory, and motivation.

Step 05

In the limbic system, the fragrance molecules can trigger the release of various neurotransmitters, such as endorphins, serotonin, and GABA.

Step 06

These neurotransmitters can influence our mood and behavior, leading to feelings of relaxation, happiness, or alertness, depending on the specific fragrance.
