Our story
From the tradition of central Mexico to the modern luxury of the Riviera Maya.
Arome has evolved spectacularly along a path of tradition and mysticism — from artisanal soy candles and exotic fragrances in San Miguel de Allende to the innovation and modern luxury of smart diffusers in the Riviera Maya. This fusion of the artisanal and the technological opens an enormous range of possibilities in the combination of exquisite, varied fragrances.
Origin
A search for something honest to live with.
Arome began in a house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico—with a single amber bottle and a pursuit of the right scent. Inspired by the way spaces shape how we feel, we set out to bring that same sense of care and atmosphere into the home.
What started as a weekend ritual became a small atelier. We still pour by hand. We still choose patience over shortcuts—because true fragrance is never rushed.
“A fragrance is like that room you love so much, reduced to its purest essence.”
— Fernanda
Craft
Each bottle at its own pace.
Each batch is blended, rested, and nosed for a while before it’s ready. We keep batches small so we can make the changes a scent needs — an oil that smells a touch stronger gets poured a little less, a fragrance that needs more presence gets poured a little heavier.
Nothing is bottled in a hurry. The reward is a scent that reads the same from the first pour to the last inch of the bottle.
Ingredients
Materials we’ll say the full name of.
Plant-based carrier
A sugar-cane-derived diffuser base. Odourless, phthalate-free, non-greasy — it carries scent without flattening it.
Rattan reeds
Cut long, with an open pith so fragrance climbs cleanly. From a single Indonesian cooperative we’ve worked with for years.
Fine fragrance oils
Natural essences blended with high-grade aroma molecules. IFRA-compliant. No phthalates, no parabens, no fillers.
Glass bottles
Blown in small runs from a family glassworks in Spain. Thick-walled, reusable, refillable.
Unbleached linen labels
Printed letterpress, one colour, on linen stock. They age like a good book cover.
Recycled kraft shipping
Corrugated kraft, paper tape, moulded-pulp inserts. No plastic, no foam.
Sustainability
A smaller footprint, shaped one habit at a time.
We don’t print marketing copy about saving the planet. We do change the things we can change: refillable bottles, paper-only shipping, no overnight air freight, and a takeback program for empty bottles.
The atelier is powered by a mix of grid and rooftop solar. Production water is filtered and reused. It adds up slowly — which is a lot like how we make scent.
The Founders
Fernanda and Robert.
Fernanda and Robert met in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and fell in love. Ever since, they have been creating fragrances that reflect the passion they share.
