From Frustration to a Fragrant Home

We’re Nuno and Carla, the husband-and-wife team behind /sen’ti.re/.

We love home fragrances.

But when we moved into our new home, we struggled to find candles, wax melts, and diffusers that smelled natural, clean, and long-lasting.

Some were overpowering, some barely had any scent at all, and others (when we dug deeper) were full of toxic ingredients we didn’t want in our home.

So, we started making our own.

It Started as a Hobby - Then Became Something More

At first, it was just for us.

A few quiet evenings experimenting with wax blends and fragrance oils in our kitchen.

But when friends and family visited, they noticed.

"Your home smells amazing! Where did you buy these?"

When we told them we made everything ourselves, they were shocked.

Then we told them about the toxins in most commercial home fragrance products, and they were even more surprised.

That’s when we realised, we weren’t the only ones searching for clean, beautifully crafted home fragrances.

Crafted with Care, Inspired by Nature

We’ve always loved the outdoors, weekend walks through woodlands, coastal hikes, and the scent of wildflowers after the rain.

We wanted to bring those scents into our home, without bringing in harmful chemicals.

Every /sen’ti.re/ fragrance is designed to transport you, to a misty forest, a sun-drenched meadow, and a crisp sea breeze.

But scent alone isn’t enough.

It has to be clean, sustainable, and crafted with care.

That’s why we:

  • Use a coconut and rapeseed wax blend, free from paraffin, dyes, and unnecessary additives.
  • Source phthalate-free, paraben-free fragrance oils for a pure, long-lasting scent.
  • Choose eco-friendly packaging with recyclable glass, wood, and cork, no wasteful plastic.
  • Handcraft every product in small batches, ensuring quality in every single pour.

More Than a Scent - A Ritual

For us, home fragrance isn’t just about making a space smell good.

It’s about creating moments.

A candle flickering as you unwind after a long day.

A reed diffuser subtly welcoming you home.

A wax melt filling the air as you curl up with a book.

/sen’ti.re/ is about those small, meaningful rituals, the ones that turn a house into a home.

Welcome to /sen’ti.re/

We started this journey for ourselves.

Now, we’re sharing it with you.

We hope our fragrances bring as much warmth, comfort, and joy to your home as they do to ours.

And if you’re wondering about our name /sen’ti.re/ comes from the Latin verb sentīre, meaning to feel and to smell.

We chose Latin because it’s timeless, just like the way we craft our products.

In a world of mass production, we believe in doing things the old way, by hand, with care, in small batches.

Nothing rushed, nothing artificial, just pure, intentional craftsmanship.

You’ll also notice that each of our fragrances is named using phonetics.

Why? Because we love minimalism, and there’s something beautifully simple yet striking about a single word that captures a scent, a feeling, a memory.

This is /sen’ti.re/ where fragrance is more than just a scent. It’s a way to feel, smell, and be delighted.
