My name is Yaya, also known as “The Method”

I am a self care, self-love advocate who just so happens to be addicted to all things luxury, beauty, and interior design. My favorite thing though, which is probably why you are here, is perfume. Fragrance is my vice. My guilty pleasure. I am absolutely obsessed with my collection of scents. My collection means the world to me, each scent is special. They are my daughters, my babies. In this crazy world, you have to sort of find your little piece of happiness. This is mine. 

Fragrance is such a complex subject. Not only is is subjective, but universal. It’s for me, it’s for you, it’s for everyone. No, not every scent is for everyone but there is a scent for everyone. There are so many different fragrances in this world. So many different vibes. The range is endless. There is something for you no matter who you are, what you look like, where you are from or what language you speak. Kudos to you if you have found your signature scent. You may have one, you may have a few. You may have none but want to find one or you may just be ready to try something new. Either way, I can help with that. 

Not only is perfume/cologne used to smell good but it’s deeper than the surface. Many fragrances possess strong associative properties, and work easily to alter the mood promoting alertness and positivity, or creating feelings of calm, tranquility and relaxation. They can be helpful in alleviating stress, easing insomnia, and providing clarity and focus. Scents send signals to our limbic system, which is the sector of the brain that controls memory and emotion. When you smell something, it sends signals to the brain's smell centre – the olfactory bulb, which is directly linked to areas of the brain that control emotion, memory, mood and behaviour. This explains why smelling something can trigger vivid memories and emotions. One of my main reasons for my love for fragrance besides the obvious fact that they smell damn good!
