THERE'S A REASON WHY THE SMELL OF CUT GRASS REMINDS YOU OF CHILDHOOD SUMMERS

At KOADE scented candles, we know that scent is memory. This summer our GRASS scented candle brings that irresistible fresh aroma into your home. 

The Allure of Green: Why does the smell of fresh cut grass always win our hearts?

There’s something universally magnetic about that “just‑mown lawn” fragrance. It’s not just pleasant, it’s biologically and emotionally charged! At the root of the scent lies green leaf volatiles (GLVs) like cis‑3‑hexenal and cis‑3‑hexenol. Sorry, we know we're getting a it technical, but you might just find this interesting...

Delicate compounds are released when grass is damaged, delivering that instantly recognizable green, fresh, uplifting aroma.

These compounds aren’t just pleasant, they can gently reset our mood, evoking feelings of calm, renewal, and even boosting interpersonal trust. Nostalgia plays its part, too! That grassy scent unlocks warm summer memories. Bare feet, family barbecues, care-free days... Transporting us instantly back to childhood.

At KOADE, we don't simply make scented candles, we craft memorable sensory experiences. Scents that may trigger memories of times passed or scents you can make new memories with.
