Hi Lovely,

I’ve spent quite a lot of this week sitting at my desk sniffing things. 

I’m testing potential new fragrances for Scented Sanctuary and one of them — Paradise Beach — had me absolutely convinced.

Cold sniff? RESET. No question.

Then I melted it.

Over four hours, as the different notes came through, it seemed to change its mind about what it wanted to be every five minutes. By the end, I wasn’t just questioning whether it belonged in RESET — I wasn’t sure it belonged in Scented Sanctuary at all.

And that's exactly why I test this way.

A fragrance can smell gorgeous, but if I’m asking you “How do YOU want to feel?”, it needs to give me a clear answer to that question too.

So, fancy doing a little experiment with me this Sunday?

Pick something scented you already own — a wax melt, candle, perfume, anything.

Before you use it, decide what feeling you think it gives you. Then spend some time with it and ask yourself again.

Did your answer change?

If you try it, hit reply and tell me. I genuinely want to know what happens. ️

Paradise Beach, meanwhile, has gone back in the sample drawer.

We need some time apart. 

Love,

This moment is yours.
