“Why we overlook Scent at Home....”
Hardly thought about:
Most of us don’t think of scent as part of everyday life even though it quietly shapes how a space feels.
Beautiful but unclear
Shelves are full of lovely candles and diffusers but it’s hard to know what’s really inside or how they work.
Can feel like a luxury
When a candle cost as much as a dinner out, scent starts to seem like a treat instead of something simple and comforting.
Complicated to make:
DIY recipes often sound like chemistry than something you would do at home.
The story behind Scent Like This
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, and how it can bypass reason to influence people.
After being made redundant, I found myself looking for steady moments in the small things like walking, tidying, picking flowers, and reconnecting with scent.
For me, Scent became a quiet anchor, a way back to myself.
Any kind of loss or change can feel unsettling - a job, a move, a separation. Because so much of life happens at home, that anchor naturally became part of my space, the small touches that made it feel welcoming again. That’s when I started looking closer at home fragrance.
And yet, making your home smell beautiful shouldn’t be something reserved for specialists or “perfect” homes.
Because home is more than a place. It is a feeling. And often that feeling begins with scent- not just something you smell but something you feel.
There is something quietly rewarding about creating small comforts that make your space feel like you. ( For some it is baking, for others, it’s scent ).
Why Scent Like This exists

Making a nice-smelling space can be easy, playful and part of everyday self-care.
