The Clarity Collection by Aera is a three-piece functional fragrance collection backed by science and proven to boost cognitive performance. More than just wanting scents that smell good, fragrance fans want to elevate the interior spaces they inhabit with purposeful scents that support well-being. “Expanding into functional fragrance was a natural next step for Aera, especially as today’s consumers raise growing concerns about cognitive overload at home,” said Sandra Barvaux, VP of Fragrance at Aera. “Backed by real testing, not baseless marketing claims, we offer a simple, elevated solution that is safe for kids, pets, and the planet.”
The Clarity Collection's three fragrances were developed with FocusMax technology, an AI-powered platform built on decades of research identifying optimal formulations that help to optimize cognitive performance. Golden Woods features bergamot, cardamom and sun-warmed woods, while The Crystal Sea is a watery, airy scent, and Flower of Light shares the comforting essence of jasmine, orris, white rose, sheer musks, and golden amber.
