Scent Memories With Shea
Is there anything more capable of transporting you to a time and place than a scent? Here, Shea shares some of her favorites.
06 March 2023 -
Scent, memory, and emotion go hand in hand—
—a powerful trio that can transport you to happy places and set the vibe in a home. We love how effective scent can be in interior design. It is, after all, all about creating a space to call home that feels safe and comfortable. To us, scent is just as important as the rug or the console, the finishing element to a space to call home. Here, Shea recalls some of her favorite memories associated with the four scents of our Pura x Studio McGee collaboration.
No. 01 | Santal Vanilla
"When I was growing up, nearly every single Sunday was spent in the kitchen with my mom. We’d pull out the flour and the sugar and the salt and the vanilla and get to making a treat we’d share as a family. Santal Vanilla always fills my house with the feeling of home."

No. 02 | Sea Salt Driftwood
"My happiest memories are on the beach with my girls, watching them laugh and play in the sand. Every time I smell Sea Salt Driftwood it takes me back to those days spent together as a family. I have it scheduled on my Pura app to release every morning in the bathroom, starting the day with some sunshine and salty air vibes."

No. 03 | White Bergamot
"On our 10th anniversary, Syd and I went to Italy’s Amalfi Coast. It was a trip I’ve always wanted to do and being there far exceeded my expectations for how special the colorful architecture, ornate tiles and ceilings, and dramatic cliffs would be. The smell of White Bergamot and citrus transports me back to our walks through those tiny streets."

No. 04 | Wild Sage
"When we first started Studio McGee, I would take walks every morning to clear my head before diving into the grind of starting a new business. There was a trail near our home at the time that smelled of sage and would help me feel balanced and put my mind at ease. I have Wild Sage in my studio to keep me relaxed and focused on creating."
