you specify the stone, the timber and the light.
scent is the one material most projects leave to chance.
why scent belongs in the brief
- first impression: it's the first thing a client notices when the door opens
- memory: people often remember a place by how it smelt, long after the details fade
- material match: the right scent makes timber feel warmer and stone feel cooler
- one space: a single scent through the home ties the rooms together
matching scent to the material palette
- timber and leather: santal woods, with sandalwood, cedar and leather
- stone and concrete: zen garden, with peony, lotus, iris and driftwood
- glass and light: coral, with bergamot and pink pepper
- gardens and courtyards: botanical gardens, with bergamot and orange blossom
diffusers that sit in the design
