Smelly Trees was founded by Scottish actress, producer and yoga teacher Carina Birrell. Each bottle is handmade in Fife, Scotland.
"My partner is a tree surgeon who spends his days in the woodland working outdoors everyday looking after trees and working with wood, immersed in nature. One day when getting ready to go out whilst visiting me in London he said 'I hate the stink of synthetic aftershave in the city... I'd wear aftershave if it smelled like trees' As a lifelong lover of nature's own aromas, essential oils from plants, the changing smells of the great outdoors through the seasons I have found myself captivated by the health and mood benefits of bringing uplifting aromatic botanicals into our everyday lives as well as surrounding ourselves with as much nature ad possible. I began experimenting with naturally derived, sustainable harvested tree oils and eventually created as a little gift for my partner what later became the first incarnation of 'Smelly Trees.' These days he still doesn't go anywhere without it, carrying the small original homemade bottle (pictured) in his pocket wherever he goes. He sprays it on his clothes, as well as throughout the house and car and constantly gets complimented on the scent, We began receiving requests from friends, family (and total strangers) who wanted their own bottle of Smelly Trees and would often feedback back that the scent brought a wave of happiness, as well as being both relaxing and uplifting and generally making them feel good when they sprayed it on their clothes or in their homes. I soon found myself diving way deeper into the depths of the magic and science behind the many benefits of simply smelling tree oils and the art and craft of natural fragrances. It was from here that Smelly Trees was born."

"What's good for the planet is good for us"
We live in a fast paced world often largely cut off from day to day exposure to nature and valuable time spent amongst trees. Absorbing the healing aromas of terpenes naturally emitted by forests has the potential to do amazing things for our health. It is not always possible for many to take daily walks amongst woodlands and studies have shown that simply smelling these scents evokes amazing benefits for our bodies, brains, immune system and mood (see 'The Science Bit').
“We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical.”
― Carl Sagan

“Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish”
― Munia Khan
Trees are critical in preserving oxygen for us to breath and capturing carbon dioxide from our heavily polluted air. Beyond this incredible feat of nature (not to mention potential antidote to Global Warming and Climate Change) the personal health benefits of smelling the scent of trees are endless. Trees release antimicrobial essential oils (phytoncides), which protect them from germs and infestation. For humans these uplifting oils have been shown to boost mood, improve the function of our immune system, lower blood pressure, moderate heart rate, diminish stress and anxiety and can improve our sleep and creativity.
The popular movement of "BioHacking", which seeks to restore our bodies back to their optimal functionality and strength endorses the reported benefits experienced by many individuals from essential oils and especially inhaling the beneficial terpenes released by trees (in particular certain types of Spruce, found in Smelly Trees).
"The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature."

'It's time to rewrite nature's story'
When we receive a scent through the nose it is processed by our olfactory bulb, which communicates very closely with the brain and causes us to feel a certain emotion and often to recall experiences in our lives related in some way to that scent. (This discussion in collaboration with the Harvard Brain Science Initiative is a wonderful place to begin to dip your toes into the connection between scent and neuroscience).
There are many studies around the connection between aromatherapy, the brain and general health and wellbeing. It is very exciting that we are also now beginning to explore and scientifically comprehend the effects of certain aromatic compounds (terpenes) found in forests and trees on our health and wellbeing... and therefore able to understand why it might be that a walk in the woods or the smell of a Christmas tree just makes you feel so darn good! (see 'The Science Bit' for a selection of fascinating studies and articles exploring forests, tree oils, smell and the connection to our health, stress levels and general wellbeing).
