Fragrance Meets Function: SaFiSpa Adds Science-Backed Scents to Luxury Candle Range

Discover the candle brand redefining fragrance—SaFiSpa blends science, essence, and scent to support emotional well-being, self-care, and serenity at home.

VALLEY STREAM, NY, UNITED STATES, July 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Scent bypasses logic and goes straight to the limbic system. That’s why a candle can calm us faster than any affirmation.”
— Dr. Elaine Foster, Wellness Psychologist

In today’s wellness-driven world, candles are more than decorative accessories—they are science-backed tools for mental and emotional restoration. SaFiSpa, a New York–based lifestyle brand founded by Nicole Peters Devis, announces the expansion of its candle collection rooted in clean aromatherapy and Caribbean plant traditions.

Blending Fragrance with Purpose

Unlike typical scented candles, SaFiSpa’s signature collection is designed with wellness in mind. Each candle is crafted in small batches using clean-burning, eco-friendly soy wax, essential oil blends, and phthalate-free fragrances. Sleek black glass vessels and re-usable colored jars complement modern interiors while supporting sustainable living.

“SaFiSpa is about more than fragrance,” says Devis. “We craft emotional experiences. In our culture, scent is memory, medicine, and mood. Every candle invites calm, clarity, or connection—backed by science and grounded in heritage.”

Why Scent Matters: What the Research Says

Among the five senses, scent is the only one directly linked to the brain’s limbic system—the emotional control center. Research shows that inhaled essential oils can influence neurotransmitter activity, increasing serotonin and dopamine to reduce stress and elevate mood.

Scientific research continues to support the benefits of aromatherapy:
A 2025 meta-analysis published in Frontiers in Psychiatry found that inhaling essential oils significantly improved sleep quality and reduced anxiety symptoms in individuals with comorbid insomnia. Similarly, a 2024 study in Frontiers in Psychology reported that bergamot essential oil lowered salivary cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone—and improved recovery from acute stress within 15 minutes.

These findings underpin SaFiSpa’s distinct approach to fragrance design—where function is given equal weight as form.
