The Story Behind Como: A Scent Inspired by Lake Como

There are certain places in the world that stay with you long after you leave.

Lake Como is one of them.

It’s not just the view — though the sweeping water, dramatic mountains, and historic villas are unforgettable. It’s the feeling. The slower pace. The warmth of the people. The quiet luxury of mornings by the lake and evenings that seem to stretch on forever.

But most of all, it’s the atmosphere; something you don’t just see — you feel it. You breathe it in.

When the owners of European Spa Source, Randy & Wendy, traveled to Lake Como, they didn’t just fall in love with the scenery. They were captivated by the subtle sensory details that made the experience so immersive — the fresh air, the soft florals drifting through gardens, the clean, calming notes carried through open windows.

It was a place that felt romantic, fresh, and deeply grounding all at once.

When they returned, the goal wasn’t simply to “remember” Lake Como - it was to recreate it, to bottle that atmosphere, and translate a feeling into a scent.

Creating a Sense of Place Through Scent

Scent is one of the most powerful ways we experience the world. It has the ability to transport us — to shift our mood, to calm the mind, to evoke memories we didn’t even realize we were holding onto.

With that in mind, Randy set out with his team of sensory experts to craft something more than just a fragrance.

The mission was clear:
Create a blend that doesn’t just smell beautiful — but feels like being there.

The result was Lake Como — a scent designed to embody the emotional and atmospheric essence of Lake Como.

Introducing Lake Como

Romantic, fresh, floral, and clean...

Inspired by a visit to Lake Como in Italy, this aroma profile features our signature pure Eucalyptus oil, carefully blended with steam-distilled oils from Jasmine and Rose flowers.

Let this special blend surround you with its calming and romantic notes. While rose might be unexpected, its soft and gentle presence — when woven together with the exotic profile of jasmine — delivers an elevated spa scent that is both sophisticated and truly unique. A scent that transcends genders and becomes a neutral sensory experience. 

More Than a Scent — An Experience

Lake Como isn’t just about fragrance — it’s about creating a moment.

It’s the feeling of stepping into a space that immediately softens your shoulders.
The sense of calm that comes from clean air layered with delicate florals.
The quiet luxury of being fully present.

Whether used in a spa environment or at home, our Lake Como blend transforms the atmosphere — bringing a sense of balance, romance, and refined freshness into any space.

Because the most powerful experiences aren’t always the ones we see, they’re the ones we feel, and sometimes, all it takes is the right scent to take you somewhere unforgettable.
