Jeff’s flat had just won Gold at the 2025 London Design Awards. The renovation was striking: curved ceilings, navy-and-gold interiors, and a layout rebalanced for solitude and hospitality.
But for Jeff, founder of an architecture and construction firm, often in transit between Japan and Taiwan, the beauty wasn’t enough. With three adult children living overseas, the home sometimes felt hollow.
“The space looked perfect, but it didn’t always feel alive. I wanted warmth, something that gave the rooms a pulse.”
That changed when he began layering fragrance into his home.
In the living room, Jeff chose Forest Breath 森, a grounding blend of hinoki and rose. After long days, it gave him calm. When friends dropped by, the scent itself became a talking point.
“It steadies me, and everyone who visits notices straight away. They always ask where it’s from.”
In the bedroom, fragrance became a way to retreat from the formality of his schedule. Jeff placed Etsu 悅, a tea-based scent that softened the room and shifted the atmosphere.
“The moment I step in, the day falls away. It feels like my own space again.”
When his daughters return from abroad, the first thing they mention isn’t the design but the air. One of them loved it so much she brought the same diffuser back to her own home.
“It surprised me, such a small detail changed the whole rhythm of the home. It finally feels warm again.”
For Jeff, fragrance turned a space that looked perfect into a home that finally felt alive.
