As Gain's Home Scent Designer, Sabrina Soto's mission is to celebrate those who love scent and help them achieve a wonderful scent experience at home by creating customized scent palettes. Sabrina knows how to transform beautiful spaces within any budget. Now the acclaimed designer wants families' homes to smell as scent-sational as they look.

"The scent of your home says a lot about you. I tell my clients to use it as an accessory, like furniture, to help create an environment that reflects who you are. Making sure scents blend well together is just as important as selecting a signature scent," said Sabrina Soto. "I'm excited to partner with Gain as they launch new and exciting products to help people become scent-savvy stars."

The launch of the "Scent-ervention" contest coincides with Gain's expansion from the laundry room into the kitchen and beyond.

"We truly understand the passion that people have for scent, and we're thrilled to offer our fans new products in the matching scents of Gain," said Paul Vraciu, North America Gain Brand Manager. "With Sabrina's help, we're excited to help people across the country discover new ways to enhance their at-home scent experience."
