What is a Hummingbird
Fragrance Flight?

The Hummingbird Fragrance Flight is a first-of-its-kind personalized fragrance experience inspired by moments, moods, and memories.

Thoughtfully designed with scent science in mind, each Flight invites you to slow down, explore fragrance with intention, and create something uniquely your own.

Begin by selecting scents you love, especially the ones tied to meaningful memories, then explore custom blends by melting different fragrances together at home.

As you experiment, you are engaging in olfactory enrichment, a gentle sensory exercise known to spark memory, emotion, and connection through scent.

Once you discover a blend that feels just right, send your custom formula our way and we will hand-pour your signature scent into a flameless candle or wax melts to enjoy at home or gift to someone you love. Your story, told through scent.

how it works

Explore Scents

Start by experiencing each fragrance on its own by placing one large melt in a blending tin under your warming lamp. What does each scent bring to mind? How will you blend these scents to create your own custom signature scent?

Play with Blends

Remove the large melts from your tins and place two different smaller melts under your warming lamp. Love this combination? Mark it down on your blend card! There are no wrong answers so have fun mixing and matching until you discover your favorite.

Your Signature

Once you’ve discovered a custom blend that you love, send your fragrance formula our way and we will hand-pour your choice of a flameless candle or wax melts with your unique signature scent! (Don't forget this part - it's included with your Fragrance Flight!)

A warming lamp is required to melt fragrances. view lamps

'my memory loves you,
it asks about you all the time.'

- j. carroll

Your Sense of Smell is
more powerful than you think.

Smell isn’t just a sense.
It’s the gateway to memory, emotion and brain health.

Studies have found that engaging in regular olfactory enrichment can enhance memory, improve attention, and even reshape the parts of your brain linked to emotion and learning.

Hummingbird Fragrance Flights were inspired by this research and we are sharing what we have learned with you so you can be inspired too.

$5 from every Fragrance Flight

donated to the Alzheimer’s Association

The Hummingbird Fragrance Flight was created out of a love for preserving life’s fleeting moments and the joy that comes from sharing the memory of those moments with the ones that we love.

Today, nearly 1-in-5 older adults live with some form of memory loss, making it difficult to revisit the moments that once brought them light, laughter and connection.

That’s why we have committed to donating $5 from every HMB Fragrance Flight to the Alzheimer’s Association to support groundbreaking research and compassionate care for families touched by memory loss.

Thank you for helping us bring the gift of memory home through beautiful scents and meaningful impact.

The Gift of Memories
wrapped in fragrance.

We are all memory-keepers in our own ways.

Some of us safeguarding family albums filled with fading photographs, others finding nostalgia in the passed down furniture or trinkets that fill our homes.

A personalized Hummingbird Fragrance Flight is a one-of-a-kind gift that softly whispers:

I remember, and I always will.
