Scents & Sensibility

Ahhhh summer☀️❤️‍🔥: sun-filled days(😬), the sound of lawnmowers, balmy evenings, refreshing spritzers …. and insects. Loads of them!🪰🦟😩. Never fear, we have a very tempting deterrent - Scents & Sensibility now has an insect repelling Citronella & Lemongrass diffuser that should discourage these pesky wee beasties. Our Dinky Diffuser range is sold in 150ml glass bottles with reeds - simple and without packaging waste. They’re available at: the leith collective at The Fort, Edinburgh, The Storehouse Penicuik and WhyNot? North Berwick or simply get in touch through Instagram, Facebook or 0794 420 3431

I know I said I wasn’t going to supply refills for my Himalayan Cedar & Jasmine wardrobe fresheners, but after so many of you asked, I thought it would be rude not to! This week I’ll be taking 30ml bottles of your favourite paraben-free fragrance oil to the leith collective at The Fort, The Storehouse, Penicuik and Why Not? North Berwick. Then you can refresh your stuffy spaces - and repel moths to your heart’s content😁💚.

Getting stock ready for the Grange Fair tomorrow at Newington Library, Fountainhall Road from 1pm-4pm. As usual there will be a great range of stalls selling locally made crafts, activities and food and drinks. Come along and say hello and support small businesses 👋

Over the past couple of years, our ingredient and packaging costs have increased significantly. We’ve been absorbing these rises, but are now having to increase most of our prices slightly. 😕 We have kept this to a minimum as we are committed to producing affordable products while keeping the quality our customers have come to love.
The good news? We’re also introducing our new Pamper Yourself Gift Bags — perfect for gifting or treating yourself! 💝 These are being distributed to our stockists from tomorrow. We are also putting more stock in the leith collective in Livingston, giving you more opportunity to buy your favourite body treats! 🥳 Remember, if you can’t get to the shops, just contact me directly and we’ll get your desired items to you🥰 Our stockists: the leith collective at The Fort, Edinburgh and Livingston Designer Outlat, Livingston; Corner Shop Collective Dalkeith; The Storehouse Penicuik and WhyNot? North Berwick

As of tomorrow Scents & Sensibility will sadly no longer be trading at the Scottish Design Exchange 😢 We will, however, still be at the leith collective at The Fort, Edinburgh; Corner Shop Collective Dalkeith; The Storehouse Penicuik and WhyNot? North Berwick and look forward to continue supplying you with our wonderful handmade, eco-friendly, preservative-free soaps, oils, balms and gifts. You’re welcome to drop me a text if you can’t make it along to any of the shops for your desired product! May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very belated Happy New Year and thank you so much for your custom past present and future - every purchase you make keeps a small business running and is truly appreciated. I hope 2026 brings you all health and happiness!🥰
