Smell is exceptionally powerful — it can trigger nostalgia and transport us through time, instantly impact our mood, and even help put us to sleep. But with an abundance of aromas out there, it’s hard to keep them all straight. Here’s our two ‘scents’ on some excellent fragrances, and how you can get your hands on them. Find these products either on our site or at our Granville store in Vancouver!
