REAL FANS

YES Yasmin 

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

FAVOURITE THING ABOUT WHAT YOU DO 

Hearing how the scents make people feel, we get customers writing to us daily and just seeing people’s energy and emotions change through scent is just so beautiful

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE

‘Slow and steady wins the race’ – which by the way is the opposite of how I live my life and think, but I can always hear my grandmother’s voice saying it to me…it’s the ultimate test
