Interior Design's Missing Element: The Signature Scent

You've spent hours perfecting your space. The furniture, the lighting, the art on the walls. Everything has been chosen with intention. But there's one design element that often gets overlooked: how your space smells. Good design includes how it smells.

Fragrance as a Design Element

Think about your favorite hotel lobby, your best friend's home, or that boutique you always linger in. There's a good chance you can remember how it smelled. That's because scent is one of the most powerful ways we experience a space. It sets the mood, creates atmosphere, and makes a space feel distinctly yours.

Interior designers have known this for years. Fragrance is the finishing touch that pulls a room together. It's the detail that makes guests ask, "What is that amazing smell?" It's what makes your home feel like home the moment you walk through the door.

What's Your Signature?

Your space already has a style. Now it needs a scent to match.

Just like you wouldn't choose your furniture at random, your fragrance should be intentional. It should reflect who you are and how you want your space to feel. Some people know immediately. For so many of our customers, Red Currant is that signature scent.

The Tortoise Collection: Where Style Meets Scent

Our Tortoise Candle collection brings both elements together. The distinctive tortoiseshell vessel is a beautiful design piece on its own. But here's what makes it special: you choose the fragrance. Our top eight scents are available in the Tortoise Candle, so you can curate the perfect combination of style and scent for your space.

It's not just a candle. It's an investment piece that becomes part of your design story.

Finding Your Signature Scent

Not sure where to start? Here are a few things to consider:

What feeling do you want to create? Cozy and warm? Fresh and airy? Bold and unexpected? Your fragrance should support the atmosphere you're building.

What's your design style? Minimalist spaces often pair well with clean fragrances like Clean Crisp White. Maximalist, eclectic rooms can handle something bolder like Pink Mimosa or Jungle Bird.

What will you remember? Years from now, when you smell this fragrance, what do you want to remember? The first morning in your new home home? Sunday coffee rituals? The best dinner parties with friends?

Make It Your Signature

Here's what we know: your space deserves a signature scent. Something that makes it unmistakably yours. Something that guests remember. Something that brings you right back to this moment, this place, this version of home.

Red Currant is the signature for so many of our customers. But what's yours?
