Our Feel Good Scents
What are neuroscents?
Bonde Parfums is a visionary fragrance house founded with a clear mission: to empower self-worth and confidence through scent.
Imagine a fragrance that not only smells divine but also uplifts your spirits.
Scent has a profound impact on our emotions. The olfactory system, which processes smells, is directly linked to the brain’s limbic system, the area responsible for emotions and memory.
Our neuroscents are infused with bioactive ingredients that trigger a sensory response in the brain. They are designed to invoke specific feelings that uplift your mood, help you feel energized, or calm your mind.
They’re created to be more than just a perfume, but a tool to help shift your moods and emotions.

How does it work?
When you breathe in our fragrances, the phytoncides (which are volatile organic compounds which play a vital role in plant immunity system) in the fragrance are dissolved in mucus.
Millions of odor receptor neurons in olfactory epithelium detect the phytoncides and transmit the information to the olfactory bulbs. These signals are then sent along olfactory tracts to the olfactory cortex through sensory transduction.
The olfactory cortex is a component of the limbic system which has direct connections with the three most important part of our brain: the amygdala (forms emotional and memories); hippocampus (indexes and stores memories); and hypothalamus (regulates emotional responses). This is the system that connects our sense of smell with our emotions and memories.
Within a nanosecond, you will experience the sensory effect of the key ingredients infused in Bonde Parfums’ fragrances that are proven with calming and relaxing properties, by reducing stress hormones and stimulate good mood.
Energising & Motivating
Bright and invigorating, scents like orange, lemon, and mandarin are known to reduce stress and elevate your mood. Citrus oils are rich in limonene, a compound that interacts with the brain to stimulate serotonin production, often referred to as the “happiness hormone.” A spritz of a citrus perfume can bring instant energy and positivity to your day.
Crisp and refreshing, aromatic herbs celebrated for their ability to boost energy and improve focus. Their stimulating properties enhance alertness and reduce fatigue, making it a go-to scent when you need a mental pick-me-up.
Calming & relaxing
Encourage the soothing feelings of relaxation and relief from stress with the calming properties of essences like jasmine, narcissus , and sandalwood which have been known for centuries to aid in relaxation.
Rich and grounding, sandalwood promotes mindfulness and emotional stability. Its warm and earthy scent interacts with the brain to lower stress levels and enhance a sense of inner peace, making it ideal for meditation or relaxation.
Uplifting & Joyful
Bring new energy to a space as well as nourishment and juice to your psyche with refreshing extracts from citruses such as lemon or bergamot.
A joy-boosting and exotic floral, osmanthus stimulates the release of dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical in the brain. It is often associated with improved confidence and euphoria, making it a perfect scent to uplift your spirits
Healing & Self-love
Encourage self-acceptance, heal the wounds of an emotional nature and open up your heart to giving and receiving love with bergamot and floral essences like rose.
A symbol of love and beauty, the scent of rose is often associated with emotional upliftment. Its gentle aroma is known to balance mood and reduce feelings of sadness, creating an atmosphere of self-love and joy.
The Living Nature of Botanical Perfume
Discover the genuine essence of pure botanical perfumery. Each fragrance showcases nature’s finest aromatics – from pristine flower distillations and rich tree resins to vibrant herbs and succulent fruit extracts. Crafted exclusively from essential oils and certified organic botanicals, our perfumes radiate with living energy and authentic character.
What makes these natural fragrances truly special is their ability to harmonize with your body chemistry. While synthetic scents remain static, our botanical perfumes blend with your natural oils to create a signature scent that’s uniquely yours. This personal interaction transforms the simple act of wearing perfume into an intimate expression of your individual essence.
Botanical fragrance is by nature more subtle and delicate. It will not intrude into others’ personal space, nor will it linger on your clothes for 24 hours – or longer. Rather, it beckons for the intimacy of close proximity and should be re-applied often as a mindful ritual.
Like fine wine, natural plant-based perfumes tell the story of their origin through subtle variations. Each year’s harvest brings unique characteristics to our fragrances, influenced by the growing conditions, altitude, and weather patterns that shape the plants’ aromatic profiles. These variations aren’t flaws, but rather nature’s artistry at work.
Our plant-based fragrances offer an intimate experience distinct from synthetic alternatives. They create a gentle, personal aura that invites closer connection rather than overwhelming presence. While they may not persist as long as synthetic scents, this presents an opportunity for mindful ritual – a chance to pause and reconnect with yourself as you reapply throughout the day. This delicate character, combined with possible variations in color and intensity, reflects the true beauty of working with nature’s palette.
Botanical perfume will deliver an incredible scent that is full of life and vibrational sense. Unlike synthetic fragrances, which smell identical on each person, botanical perfumes interact with the body’s natural oils, creating a unique scent that adds a whole dimension to the experience of wearing perfume.
Natural perfume may experience a subtle change in formulation from year to year, depending on the growing conditions of the aromatics. Much like wine in this way, botanical fragrance can display a degree of terroir; just as Chardonnay grapes can exhibit a varied flavour profile from year to year, lavender will display similar nuances depending on the altitude at which it grows.
Knowing this, we should approach the fluidity of natural perfume not as a curse, but as a gift representing nature’s ingenuity. After all, those changes reflect a plant’s reaction to its environment. A plant cannot physically move to better conditions, and so uses aromatic compounds to defend itself against predators or to attract pollinators.
When we bottle a perfume, we are capturing the quintessence of that plant’s life; and when we smell the perfume, we are experiencing its life story.
Enjoy!
