Hæckels collaborated with Welsh electronic musician Kelly Lee Owens to "bottle eight fragments of memory to act as a therapy when worn" and the result is Scent 08. This new way of designing perfumes and experiencing scent is [aromatherapeutic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essences-botaniques) and it promises to transport wearers to somewhere else.

The brand's first new scent in five years is a nostalgic one that has notes of vetiver, petrichor and rose. These mindfully chosen scents allow the mind to wander in search of familiar associations. While vetiver is a grass that's known to support emotional well-being, petrichor channels the smell of wet earth after the rain.

This unconventional fragrance also incorporates [uplifting eucalyptus, calming lavender](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aromatherapy-rollerballs), oud, wild heather and comforting coffee.
