Smell the Zen: The Art and Science of Feeling Well Through Fragrance

Episode 2: The Overlooked Sense: Scent, Emotion & Everyday Rituals

Mei Xu Episode 2

In our second episode, we dive into the quiet power of scent—its ability to soothe, to center, and to connect us to ourselves. While often overlooked in the wellness world, fragrance is one of our most emotionally charged senses. We reflect on why that is, and how cultural shifts toward mindfulness and minimalism are shaping the way we experience and design scent today. From personal stories to sensory facts, this conversation invites you to consider the role fragrance plays in your own emotional landscape.
