A Fragrant Note
][ A Fragrant Note ]
"Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived". - Helen Keller.
The beauty of a scent is that it is personal to each individual.
A scent can evoke long lost memories, moments we have loved and people that we treasure.
With Passover starting last night and the long Easter weekend approaching, team S&B are missing our loved ones more than ever. This has resulted in us surrounding ourselves with as many familiar comforts at home as we can, anything that make us feel more connected to our normal lives and ‘family’.
There is no better way to do this than with fragrance. The sharp fresh citrus zing when you first slice through a lemon, a simple rose note that reminds you of a particular loved one, or just the earthy scent in the atmosphere after it heavily rains and the air is clear. The memories they all spark are priceless.
So, whilst we don’t have the magic to surround you with your loved ones at the moment (we are turning to Zoom and Houseparty for that), we do have the ability to bring warmth and nostalgia into your home through our favourite scents.
Below is our selection of candles, incense, room sprays, essential oil and soaps, that we hope will bring love and warmth into your home, or provide the perfect gift for someone you will be missing this weekend.
Happy Holidays,
Love
