Hi, I’m Stephy and I started Scent Like This, to help make homes smell beautiful in a way that feels simple, safe, and easy to bring into everyday life.

Scent has fascinated me ever since I first read Perfume by Patrick Süskind at school , how powerfully it can connect to memory and emotion, the idea that it could bypass reason… and even influence people. And in a very different season of life, that still feels true.

After being made redundant, I found myself looking for steady moments in the small things like walking, dusting, tidying, picking flowers, and reconnecting with scent.

For me, Scent became a quiet anchor, a way back to myself.

Even with support, any kind of loss or change can feel unsettling - whether it’s a job, a move, a separation… And because so much of life happens at home, that anchor naturally became part of my space, the way a room smelled when I walked in, the small touches that made it feel welcoming again. That’s when I started looking closer at home fragrance.

But here’s the thing:

Too often, home fragrance feels easy to overlook, confusing, not worth the price and complicated to make (more in the note->).

And yet, making your home smell beautiful shouldn’t be something reserved for specialists or “perfect” homes. It can be as simple and satisfying as simmering citrus on the stove or mixing a few drops of oil in a bottle.

Why Scent Like This exists

To make scenting your space simple, safe and fun.

To take something that can feel aspirational, like a home that smells clean and fresh, or cosy & warm, and make it achievable, playful, and even part of everyday self-care.

There is something rewarding about creating small comforts that please your senses - for some it is baking, for others, it’s scent (or sometimes both).

Whether you’re in your bedroom, your hallway, your car, or somewhere in between, this blog is about giving you scent tools that reconnect you to comfort, clarity, and beauty, even during life’s uncertain chapters.

No pressure. No big declarations.
Just small things that feel good, wherever you are.
