WHO
I’m Yasmin Sewell, I founded a brand called Vyrao and we make fragrances, candles and incense that alter your mood and energetic field. We do this through the plants and flowers we use that trigger specific emotions, neuroscience-backed oils and a super-charged crystal inside every bottle. We make more than fragrance, we make good feelings
