Over the past few years, plants have been gradually playing a bigger and bigger role in the spaces we inhabit, both public and private, and they've become especially appealing to Millennials, working as a way to add warmth and mindfulness to their homes. As the world becomes an increasingly noisy, connected, and turbulent place, plants offer a calming and natural antidote. Here we’ll explore the power of plants, and its impact on fragrance trends.
The health benefits of flowers and plants have been recognized for some time now, but they can also help on an emotional level – feeding compassion, easing anxiety, and boosting energy. The popularity of plants shows no signs of slowing, and plants are becoming increasingly important to product design, interiors, and fragrance.
Environments that provide a connection to nature lead to better health, wellbeing, and engagement. One of the strongest ways to leverage this, is with the use of nature-inspired fragrances. New fragrance launches are reflecting the consumer shift towards cleaner, more sustainable products by featuring green and comforting notes in scent profiles. By using fresh, green notes in candle and fragrance offerings we tap into a growing desire to be at one with nature.
