The Difference

What living here
actually feels like.

"I needed somewhere safe to live, and knew I wasn't the only one. So I created a space that was safe for me — with room for others to join me in healing. With each stressor we remove, I watch my own body respond. The relaxation deepens. The healing accelerates. Nicolet isn't perfect — but we are always making it better, and I feel every improvement in my own body."
Laura Scrimgeour · Founder, PurÔme
Is This For You?

Made for people who know
their environment matters.

✓ You'll feel at home here if you...
  • Have MCS, mould illness, Lyme, chronic fatigue, or chemical sensitivity — special arrangements can be made for very sensitive prospective tenants to thoroughly test the space before committing
  • Are a biohacker who optimizes every input — sleep, water, air, light
  • Already live fragrance-free or are committed to making the switch
  • Want neighbours who respect the same lifestyle — without having to explain it
  • Have verifiable income and want to pay market rent for a home that actually works
  • Want a landlord who understands what it is like to live with chronic illness
  • Are done settling for conventional housing that makes you worse
✗ This isn't the right fit if you...
  • Wear synthetic fragrances — perfume, scented deodorant, fabric softener
  • Smoke anywhere on the property, indoors or outdoors
  • Use conventional cleaning products with synthetic fragrance
  • Are unwilling to respect the scent-free agreement that protects all residents
  • Think this is going too far — these standards exist to protect people with real medical disabilities
How PurÔme Began

Built from the
wreckage of a sick home.

Losing my health, my home, and my job to mould — all at once — was harrowing. My husband and I sat down and asked ourselves: how do we make this the best thing that ever happened to us? We moved ten times that year, spent five months camping in the woods, and built PurÔme from what we had left.

The conventional path wasn't available to me. I can't tolerate most construction materials, most fragrances, most of what passes as normal. So I had to learn a different way. And when I found it, I realized other people needed it too.

The Nicolet triplex was my first proof of concept. The Montclair 4plex is the vision fully realized — purpose-built from day one, not retrofitted.

PurÔme exists because the planet needs healthy humans, and healthy humans need somewhere safe to live. I know that more personally than most.

Common Questions

FAQ

No synthetic fragrances of any kind — perfume, cologne, scented deodorant, fabric softener, scented laundry detergent, scented candles, plug-in air fresheners, or heavily fragranced personal care products. Natural, fragrance-free alternatives are completely welcome. We know this is a shift for some people and we're happy to recommend products that work. The commitment protects people in the building with genuine medical sensitivities.
PurÔme properties are designed to meaningfully reduce your daily electromagnetic exposure — not just theoretically, but in practice.

The Nicolet is a retrofitted home with targeted EMF remediation: outdated wiring techniques that generate magnetic fields have been addressed, and the layout follows low-EMF principles — keeping electrical panels and high-draw circuits away from sleeping areas. The smart meter is located on a shed, removed from the living space.

The Montclair is purpose-built from the foundation up with a comprehensive low-EMF design: low-EMF layout throughout, shielded wiring, no smart meters, dirty electricity filters on the panel, and upgraded grounding. Every system was chosen with electromagnetic hygiene in mind.
One parking space is included. WiFi is included from 8 am to midnight (hours negotiable). Heat and hydro are not included.
We strongly encourage a visit before committing. Everyone's sensitivities are different, and while we've made every effort to create a truly low-toxin environment, your body will tell you more than any list of features can. Come with no products on, spend some time in the space, and see how you feel. Book a viewing by submitting the form above.
Pets are considered on a case-by-case basis, with attention to allergies and the wellbeing of other tenants. Please discuss this directly with us.
