Own Time Eau de Parfum featured in Refinery29: the connection between scent and wellbeing

We’re proud to see Own Time Eau de Parfum featured in Refinery29 in a personal exploration of the role fragrance can play in moments of comfort and self-care while living with endometriosis.

The piece explores the writer’s own relationship with perfume and how scent has become part of the rituals that help her feel more like herself – with Dr Anna Persaud, CEO of This Works and PhD in biochemistry, sharing her expertise on why our response to fragrance can feel so immediate and emotional.

Our sense of smell has a particularly close relationship with areas of the brain involved in emotion and memory, helping to explain why a familiar fragrance can become such a powerful sensory cue.

It’s an idea at the heart of Own Time Eau de Parfum. Blending neuroscience with luxury perfumery, our Functional Fragrance was created for the transition from daytime alertness to evening calm. Its terpene-rich aromatic blend encourages you to disconnect from the stimulation of the day and create space for a slower, more intentional evening ritual.

As the Refinery29 feature explores, fragrance can be more than something we wear – it can become part of the small sensory rituals we return to when we want to feel grounded, comforted and connected to ourselves.
