Our Studies
Human:
Inhalation of rose essential oil has been shown to elevate feelings of relaxation and improve mood. Clinical work demonstrates rose aroma can increase parasympathetic activity and reduce heart rate, while also being associated with elevated serotonin signaling in the brain.¹ EEG studies report that floral aromatics, including rose, enhance alpha brainwave activity — the state linked with relaxed alertness.²
Preclinical:
Animal studies suggest rose oil constituents (e.g., citronellol, geraniol) modulate serotonergic pathways, supporting its traditional use for calm and emotional balance.³ Sandalwood oil, often paired with rose, has also been studied for its ability to engage the limbic system, with human EEG data showing increases in alpha activity consistent with meditative relaxation.⁴

So nice
"This is a beautiful relaxing scent. The hot throw is very strong, but I don’t find it overwhelming. My husband actually complemented the scent and he has absolutely no interest in candles. I’m very satisfied with this purchase."
Just WOW !!
"I am so impressed with this candle ! The scent is not overcomplicated but still unique and very pleasing. It burns beautifully and the intensity of the scent is just right . . . it's present but not overpowering. In my opinion the price reflects the quality of the candle. I bought it through Free People website as the only option in the UK. I hope you will have more stockists here soon and I will gladly buy it again!"

Great quality
"My husband is usually sensitive to candles, and most give him a headache. However, this candle was a complete game-changer. Not only did it not trigger any discomfort for him, but we also both found the scent to be calming and soothing. It’s rare to find a candle that balances being beautifully fragrant while also being gentle enough for someone with sensitivities. This has quickly become our new favorite!"
Amazing Scent
"Truly a unique scent, never smelled anything like it. It has a beautiful floral note that feels delicate and sophisticated, but it’s perfectly balanced—not overpowering or overly sweet. It’s refreshing and subtle, with just the right amount of floral essence to create a calming, inviting atmosphere. I love how it fills the room without being too intense."
