Inspired by the powerful connection between scent and subtle energies within us, the elegant Sophie Conran Energies home fragrance collection features seven distinct fragrances, each designed to resonate with specific chakras. In this guide, we’ll explore the inspiration behind the collection, delve into the unique characteristics of each scent, and discover how these luxurious candles and reed diffusers can help cultivate a sense of balance and alignment in your everyday life.
Inspiration behind the collection
The Energies home fragrance collection from Sophie Conran has been designed to restore a sense of equilibrium to our lives. The collection features seven different scents, each beautifully balanced to align to our chakras or energy centres. Originating from ancient Indian traditions, it is believed that when chakras are aligned, energy flows freely throughout the body, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The collection focusses on the 7 main chakras that correspond to specific points along the body’s spine, from the base to the crown of the head. Each scent in the collection has been thoughtfully assigned to an energy associated to the chakras:
1. Root Chakra – Strength: The root chakra, found at the base of the spine, is often considered the most important as it directs to all the other chakras, energetically connecting you to the physical world. Its key qualities are vitality, passion, tenacity and patience.
2. Sacral Chakra – Freedom: The second chakra is our centre of sensuality, creativity and procreation, pleasure and enjoyment. Located at the lower abdomen, it’s key attributes are creativity, sexuality, fertility and flexibility.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra – Purpose: The third chakra, located just below the ribcage, is the core of our personality, our identity and self-confidence – the perception of who we are. Its qualities are power, responsibility, confidence and vitality
4. Heart Chakra – Balance: Located in the centre of the chest, the heart chakras is the centre of your deep bonds with other beings. It’s your sense of caring and having compassion for yourself and others. Key qualities include generosity, self-love, kindness and respect.
5. Throat Chakra – Communication: The fifth chakra is owning and accepting your originality, expressing your authentic voice and speaking your truth. Located just within the throat, its qualities include truth, purpose, expression and artistry.
6. Third Eye Chakra – Clarity: This chakra located in the centre of the brow allows us to experience clear thought and the gifts of spiritual contemplation and self-reflection. Its key attributes include wisdom, connection, intuition and observation.
7. Crown Chakra – Wisdom: The seventh chakra, located at the top of the head, is our connection to the universe, dispersing energy into the six other chakras below it. Its key qualities include spirituality, enlightenment, intelligence and energy.

The collection
As with the Sophie Conran Portmeirion tableware collections, the Energies home fragrance collection is refined, stylish, and made for the modern home. The range features a selection of candles and reed diffusers, designed in classic Sophie Conran style with the iconic ripple effect bringing a beautiful tactility to the collection.
The ceramic diffuser vessel, standing at just over 6inches tall, with its curved vase-like shape, makes for a beautiful decorative piece for the home. It’s paired with natural chunky reed diffusers to gently disperse the scent into your space throughout the day. Once empty, simply use one of the refills to top it up – the classic style of the diffuser means you can switch between the scents effortlessly, aligning with the chakra you want to focus on.
The candles have been filled with scented coloured wax, each shade based on the colours associated with the different energies or chakras. Colours have long been used in various cultures to represent different emotions and spiritual concepts, and in the context of chakras, the different colours are believed to reflect the vibrational frequency of each energy centre. They also often correspond to the colours of the rainbow, starting with red and the root and moving up to violet at the crown.
