One of the biggest benefits of being a locally-owned, all-natural skincare company? If we (and the people we love) are craving a product, we simply put our minds together and create it.
The gorgeous summer-like weather has stuck around here in Southern Ontario, but we can feel in our bones that a change is coming. Whether you’re trying to wake up earlier, bring more exercize into your routine, or embrace a new season, change is always more acceptable when we make it fun and exciting.
To help us want to welcome fall, we’ve created Autumn Ember; a limited-edition scent collection designed to capture the warmth, comfort, and vibrancy of fall.
This collection includes three seasonal favourites:
- Soy Aromatherapy Candle – Clean-burning, hand-poured, and perfect for setting a cozy mood.
- Essential Oil Diffuser Blend – A grounding mix for your home, office, or on-the-go with our car diffusers.
- Smooth Operator Body Polish – A whipped sugar scrub that nourishes skin while surrounding you with the essence of autumn.
At the heart of Autumn Ember is a carefully crafted blend of essential oils: clove bud, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, sweet orange, and vanilla. Together, they create a scent that’s warm, spicy, and uplifting—like a bonfire shared with friends or a kitchen filled with fresh baking.
The Power of High-Quality, Natural Ingredients
When we head into the LAKE+MAIN store with the intention of creating something new, we have the privilege of looking around at a workshop fully stocked with the best extracts, oils, and essences that nature has to offer.
With Autumn Ember, we knew we wanted to to create not just a scent, but a feeling. Each essential oil in this blend is carefully selected to compliment each other, and your environment.
The Aromatic Power of Spices
Clove Bud: Clove has been treasured for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions. Its rich, spicy aroma is known to promote relaxation and mental clarity while adding a sense of comfort. In Autumn Ember, it’s the grounding base note that feels instantly familiar.
Cinnamon: Once valued as highly as gold, cinnamon has long been associated with vitality and warmth. Aromatherapeutically, it stimulates energy and helps ease fatigue. Its scent is the hallmark of fall—inviting, cozy, and unmistakably seasonal.
Cardamom: Known as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom has roots in Middle Eastern and Indian traditions where it was prized for its balancing and soothing qualities. Its warm, slightly sweet aroma adds depth and sophistication to Autumn Ember’s blend, helping to ease stress while enhancing clarity.
Uplifting Citrus and Sweet Notes
Sweet Orange: Bright, cheerful, and restorative, sweet orange oil has been used for centuries to uplift the spirit. It balances out heavier spices with freshness and vitality, creating a more rounded and approachable blend.
Vanilla: First cultivated by the Aztecs and cherished ever since, vanilla is the ultimate comfort scent. Warm, creamy, and indulgent, it brings harmony to Autumn Ember, making the blend as soothing as it is luxurious.
The Energizing Kick of Ginger
Ginger’s history stretches back thousands of years as a remedy for energy and circulation. Its sharp, spicy scent invigorates and adds a touch of brightness to Autumn Ember, evoking the crackle of a fire and the warmth of a shared cup of tea.
How Autumn Ember Fits Into Daily Rituals
- Soy Candle: Light in the evening to transform your space into a cozy retreat.
- Diffuser Blend: Add a few drops to your diffuser or car accessory for a grounding atmosphere anywhere you go.
- Body Polish: Exfoliate and hydrate while surrounding yourself with the soothing, seasonal scent.
Each product in the Autumn Ember collection is a way to bring balance, comfort, and warmth into your daily routine.
Embrace the Season
We can’t decide if the leaves will fall, or if the weather will grow colder, and the days shorter.
Often, we cannot control change, but we can control whether or not to embrace it.
Light yourself a candle, pour a bath, buy an expensive new book (or dust off your library card), and embrace nature’s invitation to slow down and be still.
