Fragrance For Your Wellbeing

Wellness is always top of our agenda, but the start of a new year brings with it a focus on resetting and refreshing our intentions for the year ahead. Changes to our surroundings, routines and habits, no matter how small, can all impact our wellness and contribute to us feeling better physically and mentally. So, taking the time to pause, relax and readjust our routines from time to time is important in helping us to feel like the best versions of ourselves. 

When it comes to finding the time for a little self-care, it’s often the smaller things that can make the bigger difference. Something as simple as fragrance can help you navigate the highs and lows, help you to relax, and to energise you too. Read on to discover the benefits of fragrance on your wellbeing and how you can find the right fragrance for you. 

We believe that scents should never be underestimated, especially when it comes to self-care. Fragrances are both a luxury and a necessity for yourself and your home, and they can also be powerful for your wellbeing too. From improving your mood and energising you for the day ahead, to calming your body and mind, expertly blended fragrance notes can truly work wonders. 

Fragrance enters our body through the olfactory system and when inhaled the scent triggers the central nervous system, bringing harmony and calmness to the mind or increased alertness or positivity, depending on the scent. Orange, citrus, lemon or lime are all refreshing scents, while lavender, vanilla, chamomile and jasmine all go towards calming and relaxing. 

Expertly blending fragrance to impact our wellbeing is actually an ancient practice and for many years scientists have been researching the impact essential oils can have on sleep, stress, pain, and moods. The power of fragrance is really not one to underestimate.

Alternatively, simply surround yourself with the scents you love! Fragrances that remind you of happy times or whisk you away to moments of nostalgia can help you feel happy too. For a double whammy of wellness, opt for a scented candle. Just the sight of a flickering flame is proven to relax us. The image of a lit candle tells our brain that we’re in a relaxing environment, and as a result, we begin to feel calm. 

There are many ways we can help to improve our wellbeing and taking some time to feel happier and healthier by making changes is important. From self-care with a little help from scents, to moments of mindfulness and spending time doing things that make us feel happy. We’d love to hear about the scents you choose when taking a moment for yourself and the routines and activities that you take part in to look after your wellness, let us know on social.
