The Power of Scent

The Power of Scent

Perfume is not just a blend of aromatic essential oils.  It is a  tangible manifestation of the spirits of the trees, flowers, roots, and leaves that brought it to life. These botanical scents offer protection and share their vibrant energy.  By wearing a perfume, you will have your unique personal scent that is rooted in the beauty & generosity of the ingredients within. It's your scent that will help you get in touch with yourself and the world around you. Your distinctive personal fragrance connects you to yourself and the world around you.


The Science of Scent

Each essential oil possesses a unique energy structure. When applied, it is absorbed into the skin, imparting its beneficial elements to the body and its vibrations to the person's aura and subtle body. The scent activates receptors in the nose, travels to the olfactory centers along sensory fibers, and directly influences the brain. Unlike other practices where energy flow can be obstructed, scent effortlessly reaches our consciousness, serving as a gentle trigger that unlocks sensitivity.


Scent & Memory

Smell activates olfactory memory, which is closely linked to emotions and mood. It can transport you, set the atmosphere, and serve as a powerful tool for transforming yourself and your environment. When the same fragrance is worn by several people, it unites them, instills shared intentions, and creates a unique ambiance for gatherings or collective activities.


The Structure of a Scent

Each smell has its own structure, sillage and longevity. When we smell the perfume, first we encounter top notes, then heart notes and lastly base notes. You can also smell perfume differently: superficially or attentively, distinguishing all the scents. For example, vetiver’s pungent smell may repel you at first, but if you give it another chance and focus, it opens up and gets softer.


Scent & Emotion

The same fragrance can smell differently on a person depending on their emotional state, as mood vibrations can influence the aroma. Similarly, pouring the perfume into different colored bottles can evoke varied perceptions. It all hinges on one's perception at a specific moment and in a particular emotional state


Where a Scent is Placed

There's a subtle yet significant distinction between the fragrance applied to the right and left hands. The left hand represents how we perceive our own scent, offering an intimate experience of self-awareness. Conversely, the fragrance on the right hand reflects how others perceive us, embodying the message we project into the world. It serves as a subtle but impactful energetic communication tool, influencing the impressions we leave on those around us.


Scent Properties

Each essential oil possesses unique properties that can influence our well-being in various ways. For instance, mint, ginger, and tea tree scents carry a refreshing quality that helps clear energy channels, revitalizing both body and mind. On the other hand, scents like sandalwood, lavender, and musk evoke a sense of tranquility and relaxation, promoting inner calm and peace.

Citrus scents exude warmth and brightness, akin to sunlight, making them ideal for stimulating and opening up the heart chakra, fostering feelings of joy and connection. Meanwhile, high vibration scents such as lotus, fig, and jasmine resonate with the upper chakras, elevating consciousness and spiritual awareness. Conversely, herbal aromas, oud, and gourmand scents are well-suited for grounding and balancing the lower chakras, anchoring us to the present moment and enhancing feelings of stability and security. 


By harnessing the distinct qualities of these essential oils, we can effectively utilize the power of aromatherapy to harmonize and align our energy centers, promoting holistic well-being and inner harmony.


Your Scent

Indeed, the effect of scents can vary from person to person. It's valuable to explore and discover your own signature scents that invigorate or soothe you. Experimentation is key—you can blend your favorite fragrances or explore new combinations to find what resonates best with you. Adapting your fragrance to different situations and moods throughout the day can enhance your overall well-being.

Smell serves as an enhancement to our state of being. It has the power to uplift our mood and self-perception, as well as to subtly influence how others perceive us. By selecting scents that resonate with us personally and align with our intentions, we can cultivate a sense of confidence and exude an aura of positivity that radiates to those around us.
