Selah is a fragrance‑free retreat.

Out of care for the health, comfort, and nervous systems of all guests, Selah maintains an environment free from synthetic fragrances, scented products, and harsh chemicals.

We thoughtfully curate all soaps, personal care items, cleaning products, and shared‑space materials to be unscented and low‑stimulus. We kindly ask guests to support this approach during their stay.

What this means for guests

We ask that guests refrain from using or bringing the following during their stay:

• Perfume, cologne, or body sprays

• Scented lotions, oils, or deodorants

• Scented hair products

• Scented laundry detergent or dryer sheets

Even light or “natural‑smelling” fragrances can be disruptive or harmful to others with chemical sensitivities.

What Selah provides

To make this easy, Selah provides:

• Unscented personal care products

• Fresh robes and slippers laundered with fragrance‑free detergent

• Clean, filtered air throughout all suites and shared spaces

Our goal is to create an environment where guests can fully relax without sensory overload.

Why this matters

For many guests, fragrance‑free environments are not a preference but a need.

This policy allows Selah to remain a place of restoration for people with asthma, migraines, allergies, sensory sensitivities, and those simply seeking a quieter experience for the mind and body.

A shared request

We recognize that fragrance‑free environments may be unfamiliar to some guests. This policy is not about restriction—it’s about collective care.

By honoring it, you help preserve a shared atmosphere of calm, safety, and respect for everyone here.

Need support?

While we can educate guests on the impact of "secondary" scents (like laundry detergents or hair products), it is harder for us to strictly guarantee that every individual is 100% free of those specific triggers. 

We know that for someone with severe sensitivities, these details make all the difference. We would love to have you join us, and if there is a specific request that would help you feel most comfortable, please let us know and we will do our best to ensure it is ready for you.
