  • The main difference between a fragrance and a functional scent lies in their intended purpose:

    • Fragrances: These are primarily designed for their olfactory appeal, focusing on creating a pleasant and appealing scent. They are commonly used in perfumes, aftershaves, and scented products to enhance personal aroma or improve the atmosphere of a space, delivering an enjoyable sensory experience.

    • Functional scent: While functional scents are also enjoyable, they are specifically formulated to provide additional benefits beyond their aroma. These can include therapeutic effects, such as stress relief or mood enhancement, or practical benefits, like insect-repellent properties, antimicrobial effects, or supporting well-being in spaces such as hotels or spas.

    Yatlina Functional scents combine aromatherapy principles with fragrance design, making them pleasant and purposeful.

  • As a certified aromatherapist, I create balanced, aromatic environments where scent enhances spaces without overwhelming them. Guided by the “less is more” principle, I carefully layer scents using passive and controlled active diffusion on surfaces.

    Yatlina’s waterless ultra-nebuliser diffusers release the fragrance in fine micro-droplets, ensuring an even, intermittent diffusion. Layering this with passive diffusion products like reed diffusers and adding pure blend drops to appropriate surfaces alongside the occasional air misting maximises the scent’s therapeutic benefits. It maintains an inviting, unobtrusive presence that welcomes visitors with a warm embrace.

  • All the Yatlina Scents for the IHS share a backdrop of fresh woodland and translucent shimmers of light reflecting the show's theme, "Beyond the Hustle". This base links all four scents to create a cohesive narrative to the show while distinguishing different areas with varied aromatic twists reflecting its intention and design, from a fresh open and fresh aroma that ignites excitement and anticipation to a calmer, more decedent note of warmth.

  • I prioritise safety in all formulations. During our consultation, we can discuss the best options to ensure the scent is suitable for spaces with children or pets.

  • Yatlina Functional Scents are designed for diffusion devices:

    • Waterless Ultra-Nebulisers: Attach the bottle and follow instructions.

    • Ultrasonic Diffusers: Add 10-20 drops to water based on size and use as directed.

    • Traditional Diffusers: Use 5-10 drops depending on water reservoir size and light the candle.

    • Reed Diffusers, Room Mists, and Candles: Contact me for options available through Yatlina.
