The story behind Scent Like This

When we come home, we carry the outside in …

- the smell of the street, cigarette smoke on a coat, takeaway drifting from the shop nearby or the stress of the day.

Yet most homes don’t help us leave any of that behind. We walk through the door, cook dinner, sit down on the sofa, and later go to bed , yet the feeling barely changes from room to room. Nothing smells bad, but nothing really shifts either.

Scent Like This grew out  of a simple observation:

people think carefully about the perfume they wear, yet rarely about the scent of the space they live in.

When they do, it’s often random like a candle here, a spray there , without really thinking about what each room is meant to do.

Hi, I’m Stephy

I am a strategist and my work has always been about understanding how people live, think and make decisions.

My interest in scent started much earlier when I first read Perfume by Patrick Süskind at school. The idea that a smell can connect to memory, emotion, and even bypass reason stayed with me. Long before we name a feeling scent has already shaped it.

I created this space to solve the everyday frustrations of home scent: spending money on home fragrance that does not last as long as you’d hope, trying to make sense of ingredients you can’t pronounce, and inhaling strong synthetic scents that trigger headaches instead of helping you unwind.


Why Scent Like This exists

Scent Like This explores a simple idea: Comfort begins when each room does its job.

Homes aren’t just places where we keep our furniture. Each room already has a purpose.

The hallway resets.

The kitchen neutralises.

The living room softens.

The bathroom refreshes..

When used intentionally, scent helps support those natural transitions, giving every space a clear identity without feeling overpowering
