Exile is a conceptual candle brand designed to bring peace and serenity to its users. The concept draws on the Proust phenomenon, where specific scents trigger pleasant autobiographical memories, along with the emotions and sensations associated with them. Research has shown that olfactory inputs, unlike those from other senses, bypass the thalamus and go directly to the amygdala (the center of emotions) and hippocampus (the center of memories). This makes scent the fastest sense to activate a bodily response. The idea behind Exile is to harness the power of smell as a tool to calm the nervous system.
