Functional Fragrances Backed by Science
Scents transport us to a place or time buried deeply in our memories, allow us to taste and detect flavors, and even affect our mood, emotions, and cognition. Partnering extensively with scientists and practitioners at respected global institutions, universities, and fragrance houses. We crafted our collection of Functional Fragrances to deliver wellbeing
The world of fragrances has always been associated with luxury, identity, and personal style. However, there's a burgeoning niche in this sector that moves beyond the aesthetic: functional fragrances. Functional fragrances are scents crafted with a purpose that goes beyond the pleasantness of an aroma. They are developed using research and are intended to evoke specific emotions, enhance overall wellness, or even offer targeted physiological and psychological advantages. Some advantages may include alleviating stress, promoting sleep, or sharpening concentration. These fragrances are formulated by comprehending how odors interact with the brain's responses.
Our exploration extended to the realm of design, history, and art, drawing inspiration from Asian aesthetics and Zen teachings- that nature in its most perfect form is always imperfect, and that less is more. Blending nature’s imperfect perfection with minimalist design, each candle in our collection resides within a handcrafted, pedestaled ceramic vessel. Our aim is simple - to provide you with a moment of self-discovery and tranquility. With Blueme, we proudly invite you to heal, restore, and connect. Join us on this journey as we continue to unlock more unique scents and their incredible benefits.
