It’s a “smell” world after all. So I follow my nose one balmy afternoon and it leads me to the launch of Scentsmith Perfumery’s first store at the second level of Greenbelt 5, Makati City.

A scent of excitement wafts through the air as I smell my way through bottle after bottle of fragrance dangling smack under my nose.

Now, don’t be deceived by this dainty flower — it actually boasts healing powers, such as improving respiratory health, detoxifying the body, reducing stress, and even preventing cancer.

Why, it could be your vitamin zzzzz! To all ye insomniacs out there, a whiff of jasmine could bring bedded bliss, too.
