GROUND opens green and a little bitter — bergamot and fig leaf, the kind of clean that still has edges. Cedar and vetiver come next, dry and rooted. Then the base arrives and does something unexpected: soil and tobacco that dry down warm and honeyed. Dark at first, then quietly sweet. This isn't a comfort scent. It's a presence scent.

This is the one for re-entry. For when you've been somewhere else — mentally, emotionally, physically — and you need to find your way back into your body.

Scent profile: Green and slightly bitter at the open. Cedar and vetiver through the middle. Soil and tobacco with a warm, honeyed dry-down at the base.

Details: 100ml / 3.4 fl oz — approximately 90-day supply with daily use.

Scent bypasses thinking.
That’s the point.

Smells like...

The smell of somewhere you've been before, but can't quite place.

What it feels like:
Bare feet moving through something living. Green and slightly resinous at first, then woody and austere, then a base that surprises you — earthy and a little wild, but with a warmth underneath that feels like coming home.

Scent notes:
Bergamot and fig/bay leaf on top. Cedar and vetiver through the heart. Soil and tobacco with a honeyed dry-down at the base.

Pair with a micro-reset for added benefits:

Clean. Conscious. Small Batch Made.

No dyes. No phthalates. No parabens.
Just IFRA-compliant fragrance crafted in small batches with sustainably sourced botanicals. Every mist is made with control, intention, and respect for your skin, hair and space.

FAQs

  • Functional fragrance is atmosphere by design. A fine fragrance composition created to support specific moments, such as quieting noise, sharpening attention, or anchoring you back into the present.

  • It’s fine fragrance, but purpose-built to be multi-use. Less about projection, more about a near-field ritual—a personal atmosphere designed for calm, focus, or grounding.

  • Use the Spray → Breathe → Shift ritual: mist your personal space (or clothing), take one slow breath, and let the scent mark the transition.

  • Spray into the air around you for a close “bubble,” or onto clothing for a longer wear. It’s designed to stay intimate—noticeable to you, not the entire room.
    For Body: Mist on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) 6-8 inches from skin.
    For Linens & Clothing: Lightly mist pillows, sheets, yoga mats, or clothing from 8-10 inches away.
    For Room & Space: Mist into the air in your workspace, bedroom, car, or any space that needs a mood shift.

  • Start with 1–2. Build to 3–5 when you want a stronger sensory anchor—especially during transitions.

  • In the air, it’s a short-form reset. On clothing, it lingers longer. Think repeatable moments, not all-day loudness.

  • Aerchitect is composed for near-field wear. If you’re scent-sensitive, begin with a single spray into the air and step into it, then adjust.

  • They each have a different scent profile and purpose. CALM softens mental noise. FOCUS clears the fog and supports attention. GROUND steadies you and brings you back to yourself.

  • Yes, that's the idea, and many people do. Start with one to learn its shape, then layer intentionally (GROUND as a base; FOCUS for task mode; CALM for downshifting).

  • If your mind feels too loud, choose CALM. If it feels too scattered, choose FOCUS. If you feel not quite here, choose GROUND.
