Our Story

PARE | paring back the excess to reveal the essence

PARE Studio is a space dedicated to promoting wellbeing through olfactory education, restful practices and sensory experiences. Empowering you to step back from the demands of daily life and reconnect with what lies deeper, PARE offers the opportunity to slow down, reset and return to your essence.

Our work is rooted in the belief that sensory connection has the power to support wellbeing - where caring for yourself isn’t a luxury but a profound act of love and compassion. When we take time to nurture our deeper needs we create the space to feel more grounded and aligned with what truly matters to us. Scent can shift our mood, bring us into the present and help us tune into a state of feeling and being over thinking and doing. At PARE, we combine this understanding with accessible, restorative practices to support a slower, more intentional way of living.

We offer a range of experiences — from immersive sensory workshops and scent rituals to yin yoga and guided rest — designed to help you pause and reconnect with yourself, others and the world around you.

Founded by fragrance expert and yin yoga teacher Sophie Mawby, PARE Studio is the culmination of two decades of experience in the fragrance industry, years of guiding others in restful practices, and a deep belief in the life-enriching impact of scent, rest and ritual.
