Textile innovator and specialty chemical producer Devan is launching a new range of bio-based fragrances, named SceNTL®. Traceable raw materials are being used in this range while it is confirmed by an external lab that the bio-content of the fragrances is above 85%.
SceNTL® is a unique and extensive range of encapsulated fragrances that can be integrated into the fabric and are slowly released over time. The fragrances appeal to the senses, upon release which promotes relaxation, wellbeing, and feel-good sensations.
In comparison to synthetic fragrances which are composed of synthetic and man-made ingredients, this new range of fragrances is created from natural scents, and oils are created by isolating natural aroma components from raw plant materials. This results in a slight variation in smell in every SceNTL® batch, from the previous one.
Aromatherapy is still a young and understudied domain but recent studies have shown that essential oils certainly have neurological effects. For example, Linalool is a compound found in Lavender and rosewood which is found to escalate sleep while a component found in the peel of citrus fruits- Limonene, is clinically proven to have an uplifting effect.
At present, the SceNTL® range is intended for low-wash items like decorative pillows, mattress ticking, curtains, carpets, upholstery, etc. Caused by the production process, it can also be used as a natural ‘masking scent’ for products that have a strong artificial smell caused by the production process. The company has already started looking into the development of other scents and broader application use.
