Introducing A Modern Emotion-Based Approach to Scent: Hierarchy of Needs® Water Fragrance Oil

Designer Ruth Sutcliffe Inspired By Maslow's Culturally Significant Hierarchy of Needs

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scent Guru Group, founded by scent creator Ruth Sutcliffe, is introducing a revolutionary concept in perfumery, one that imagines scent as an expression of each of Maslow's timeless 'hierarchy of needs'.  Maslow's original 1943 psychological breakthrough describes human behavior as a set of ever increasing motivations starting with physical need and escalating to emotional desires. Maslow's Hierarchy is:  i) physical (like water)  ii) safety needs   iii) love & belonging  iv) esteem  vi) self-actualization. The Scent Guru will sequentially release 5 Hierarchy of Needs® fragrances, beginning with HIERARCHY OF NEEDS® WATER.  Each is universal in nature, similarly to Maslow's needs, which are intrinsic to all humans, regardless of gender, education, sexual orientation or cultural background.

Scent Therapy - Hierarchy of Needs® was inspired by Sutcliffe's own midlife journey which reconnected her to scent's natural powers to give, inspire, heal and nurture humans with. Hierarchy of Needs® WATER symbolizes free emotional expression via a fragrance that depicts free-flowing, crystal clear waters. A remarkable scent, WATER opens with sparkling Italian Lemon and Baies Rose notes that then gently dive into a watery floral mid-stream, livened by herbaceous juniper and lavender, banked by musk and dappled wood sinuous currents.
