The Physics of Scent
Reject synthetic volatility. Our porous volcanic stone utilizes kinetic airflow for pure botanical diffusion. A minimalist engine for the automotive experience.
Reserve the FoundationBasalt Token
This is a singular basalt stone token, engineered with a high-porosity architecture.
It is a tactile, mineral object that rejects the plastic volatility of conventional air care.
The volcanic stone serves as a physical weight—a gravity-bound anchor for the interior cabin.
The collection
Cedarwood Atlas Oil
Steam-distilled Atlas cedar. Dense molecular structure for sustained, low-volatility diffusion.
Sandlewood
Cold-pressed with heavy sesquiterpenes. Low-volatility profile for persistent diffusion.
Hisoku White
Japanese cypress with high monoterpenes. Sharp, structural profile for mental clarity.
Cedarwood
Virginia cedarwood extraction. Warm, grounding base with high sesquiterpene alcohols.
Mountain Pine
Alpine needle distillation. High pinene concentration with balanced molecular weight.
Forest Moss
Terrestrial moss concrete. Earthy, mineral-forward with waxy structure for extended release.
Atmospheric Engineering
The cabin is a closed kinetic system. We utilize basaltic density and botanical purity to engineer a landscape of steam-distilled resins and wood concretes. Unlike synthetic air care, this porous volcanic stone utilizes the car's natural physics—kinetic diffusion—to sustain a persistent, non-intrusive environment for cognitive clarity.
It rejects chemical propulsion in favor of material honesty, providing a linear sensory experience that grounds the senses without the fatigue of laboratory-grade fragrance.
The Ritual
Retrieve the basalt token. The tactile weight grounds the initial transition from the external environment.
Apply 3—5 drops of botanical oil. The stone's architecture captures the heavy molecular weight of the chemistry.
Place the token in the airflow path to ensure optimal circulation.
Botanical Integrity
Our oils are the result of rigorous, slow-extraction processes designed to preserve the plant's inherent complexity.
Steam-Distilled Woods:
We utilize high-pressure steam to extract the deep, resonant heartwood of cedar and sandalwood, ensuring a scent that is structural and grounded.
Cold-Pressed Resins
By avoiding heat during the extraction of saps and resins, we retain the volatile, brittle sharpness of the raw botanical material.
Earth Concretes
These are dense, waxy extractions of moss and soil, providing the heavy molecular weight necessary for long-term diffusion on a mineral surface.
Questions
The basalt token uses kinetic diffusion—your vehicle's natural airflow—to distribute botanical oils. The porous volcanic stone architecture captures and releases scent molecules gradually, creating a persistent atmospheric presence without synthetic propellants or artificial volatility.
Absolutely. Olfactory uses 100% botanical oils with no synthetic additives, aerosols, or chemical propellants. The basalt token is inert, non-reactive, and leaves no residue. Unlike conventional air fresheners, there are no plastics to degrade or chemicals to off-gas.
Traditional air fresheners rely on synthetic volatility and chemical propulsion—they're designed to overwhelm, not integrate. Olfactory rejects this approach. We use material honesty: volcanic stone and pure botanical extracts. The result is a linear, grounded sensory experience that works with your vehicle's physics, not against it.
Each application of 3-5 drops provides 3-5 days of consistent diffusion, depending on airflow and cabin temperature. The basalt token's high-porosity architecture ensures gradual, sustained release rather than immediate volatility.

The basalt token will work with any botanical oil. However, our curated collection is specifically formulated for automotive environments—high-density molecular weights designed for kinetic diffusion in closed cabin systems. Standard essential oils may not perform optimally.
The porous basalt architecture is self-maintaining. Simply apply new oil when the scent fades. For a complete reset, rinse the token under warm water and allow it to air dry for 24 hours before reapplying oil.
