Reset

From foggy and scattered — to clear, focused, and ready.

When your brain feels foggy, your to-do list is still long, and you just need a minute to breathe. These scents were designed to cut through the noise — to wake up your mind without winding you up. One inhale, and the fog starts to lift.

You feel

Foggy. Scattered. Overwhelmed.

One breath changes everything

You feel

Clear. Focused. Ready.

Why It Works

Scent reaches your brain before your thoughts do.

Your olfactory nerve is the only sense that connects directly to the limbic system — the part of your brain that controls emotion, memory, and stress response. It bypasses the thinking mind entirely. That's why a single inhale can shift your mood in seconds, without anything else having to change.

The scents in the Reset collection were chosen for a specific reason. Citrus oils — mandarin, clementine, orange blossom — have been studied for their ability to reduce cortisol while increasing alertness. Basil and balsam anchor the lift, keeping it from tipping into overstimulation. The result is mental clarity with roots: awake, present, and steady.

This is what functional fragrance means. Not a vague idea of aromatherapy, but specific notes chosen because of what they actually do to the nervous system. Every scent in the Reset family was formulated with this intention.

“I’ve been using scent to regulate my nervous system for over 20 years. Reset is what I reach for when I need to show up — for a meeting, for my family, for myself — and my brain has other plans.”

— Marcy, founder of Pure Placid

Your Daily Practice

The Reset Ritual

Use it for 60 seconds or build a full morning around it. Either way, it works.

1

Start in the shower

Use your body wash. Close your eyes. The steam amplifies the scent — your bathroom becomes a signal. This is where your day begins on purpose.

2

Finish with your lotion

Apply slowly, from fingertip to wrist. Long strokes. Three deep breaths with your hands near your face. You've already reset — the day hasn't started yet and you're already ahead of it.

3

One spray, any time

Keep the room spray on your desk, in your bag, by the door. One spray at chest height. One breath in through the nose. Your nervous system just got a signal to shift.

4

Light the candle

On mornings when you have more time — or when you're working from home — light the candle 20 minutes before you need to focus. The warmth of the flame and the scent together create something a spray alone can't.

From the Adirondacks

“Mount Marcy is named for the tallest mountain in the Adirondacks — and it gives you the best reward. My favorite memory is waking early and watching the sunrise from the summit. That first burst of light, the pine and cedar in the cold air, the feeling of everything opening up. That's what I wanted to put in a jar. Pure Placid was built on what the Adirondacks taught me: that specific smells take you to specific feelings. And once you know that, you can use it on purpose.”

— Marcy, founder of Pure Placid · Lake Placid, NY
