CHILL, FAB! and WHOOSH are the names of the three scent sticks from Scent Republic, a brand founded by two British fathers who set out to create [fun fragrance products for pre-teens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xoxo-daise).

The [cruelty-free fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-fragrances) were developed to help pre-teens use the power of scent to tap into positivity, confidence and their own individuality during a time in life that can be both challenging and confusing for youth. The pen-like packaging makes it easy for the fragrances to be rolled onto the skin exactly where desired, with WHOOSH smelling of raspberry, strawberry and cassis, and CHILL offering a mellowing combination of marine aqua, apple blossom and sweet citrus.

The brand will soon be adding to its scent stick collection with three new scents in BBF!, ZAP! and YAY!
