Bangkok--1 Mar--Spark Communications Co-working provider Spaces and lifestyle brand Marie-Stella-Maris are co-launching a room spray that enhances productivity in the working environment. The fragrance is called No.10 Spirit de Travail (or spirit of work), pointing to Spaces' unique approach to designing inspiring workspaces and Spaces' 10th anniversary earlier this year. THE SMELL OF PRODUCTIVITY Research by Gary E. Schwartz from the University of Arizona shows that negative feelings like irritation, annoyance and stress can be countered by smell, which can stimulate positive emotions such as happiness, relaxation and productivity. As a pioneer in the modern ways of working this research prompted Spaces to create a room spray that could boost productivity, creativity and positivity in their coworking spaces. No.10 Spirit de Travail stimulates a worker's sense of smell to make the user feel more at ease, ultimately boosting their productivity. SPIRIT DE TRAVAIL Spirit de Travail was developed by the fragrance experts at Marie-Stella-Maris and consists of a combination of citrus notes from Calabrian bergamot and ingredients like cinnamon bark, vetiver and sandal wood. "As brands we connected instantly," according to Frederique Keuning, co-founder and creative director of Spaces, "so developing the scent went really quick." Spirit de Travail will be used at all Spaces across the globe. The aim is for the common scent to allow Spaces members to feel even more at home, no matter where they may be working. SPACES X MARIE-STELLA-MARIS The partnership between Spaces and Marie-Stella Maris was a natural fit. The brands share key core values, including a modern, stylish aesthetic and a desire to create social impact. Marie-Stella-Maris for example, donates a fixed amount from every sale to fund their social mission, 'clean water for everyone, worldwide'. SPACES X MARIE-STELLA-MARIS RETAIL INFORMATION No.10 Spirit de Travail is available as room spray (50ml) and as scent diffuser (240ml).
