Neuroscience
Evidence from fMRI research and datasets helps inform how olfactory experiences relate to brain activity, memory and emotion.

FRAGRANCE DESIGNED FOR HUMAN EXPERIENCE
The Fontaine difference
Each Fontaine fragrance begins with a human intention, translated into scent.
Long after the product, place or encounter has passed, the response can remain. We design around what is perceived, remembered and felt.
The Fontaine house
Fragrance identities that make brands felt before they are understood.
Considered perfumery, created with intention and shaped around feeling.
Invisible atmospheres that shape how a place is felt and remembered.
ARIATM
Fragrance designed to move with the rhythm of a space. Before we notice architecture, before we recognise design, we feel the invisible.
Explore the Aria approachThe invisible layer
Every space tells a story.
Fragrance, though invisible, shapes atmosphere, memory and emotional connection.
When designed with intention, it becomes part of the architecture of experience. The places we remember are shaped by what we never notice.
We begin with the desired human response: calm, focus, energy, connection, memory or something entirely specific.
Neuroscience and sensory insight inform how scent may be perceived, associated and remembered in context.
Perfumery translates that insight into materials, accords and delivery designed around the experience.
Our approach
Fontaine brings perfume together with neuroscience and sensory insight, shaping fragrance around how it is perceived, remembered and felt.
Evidence from fMRI research and datasets helps inform how olfactory experiences relate to brain activity, memory and emotion.
EEG, biometric signals and neurosignalling analysis can help us evaluate patterns associated with attention, arousal and response.
Cleaner, considered fragrance design that makes people the priority — from ingredient decisions to the experience of a finished space.
ARIA / Integration
ARIA is designed to work intelligently with existing scent infrastructure where appropriate. Following a technical compatibility review, existing systems may be retained, allowing Fontaine to evolve the fragrance experience without unnecessary replacement.

How we create
Fragrances are developed in accordance with applicable IFRA Standards for their intended use.
View standardsIngredient decisions draw on the safety assessments and research produced by the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials.
We consider material use, format and existing infrastructure throughout development, seeking to reduce unnecessary waste wherever project requirements allow.
Clear specifications, compatibility review, controlled production and documented support from concept through implementation.
Fontaine supports the British Neuroscience Association and its work to advance fragrance research, education and engagement.
