The Romance of Aromatherapy: Powerful Scents & How to Use Them

The Romance of Aromatherapy: Powerful Scents & How to Use Them

Scent is a powerful sense, deeply connected to emotion and memory. My favourite perfume will always remind me of my best friend who gifted it to me. The warm vanilla and Moroccan musk takes me back to our apartment—music playing, laughter filling the room, and the excitement of getting ready for a night out together.

If I close my eyes and inhale, I could be back there this very moment.

Just as scent has the ability to take us back in time, we can also use it to shape new memories and transform our mood in the present. This is the true magic of aromatherapy—an age-old practice that harnesses the power of essential oils to enhance our well-being.

Aromatherapy can clear your mind, boost your energy, foster connection, and turn an ordinary day into something special.

Our candles and bath soaks are thoughtfully crafted to bring these benefits into your daily routine. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, our Soy Candles and Bath SOAK pairings make the perfect gift—for your partner or for yourself. Because the right scent doesn’t just enhance the moment—it creates lasting memories.

Let’s explore how essential oils influence the mind and body, and how you can effortlessly weave them into your life.

Relaxation & Stress Relief

When life feels overwhelming, calming essential oils can work wonders in reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

  • Key Oils: Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Chamomile, Cedarwood, Bergamot
  • Your Perfect Match:
    • Spa Day Candle – A blissful blend of Lavender, Bergamot, Rosemary, and Ylang Ylang, ideal for unwinding after a long day.
    • PEACE Bath Soak – Infused with Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Cedarwood, and Roman Chamomile, this soak is perfect for melting away tension.

Energy & Mental Clarity

Need a natural pick-me-up? Some essential oils are known to invigorate the senses, helping with focus and mental clarity.

  • Key Oils: Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange
  • Your Perfect Match:
    • Lake Life Candle – A fresh, uplifting blend of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Cedarwood, Lemongrass, and Bergamot—perfect for increasing focus.
    • PERFORM Bath Soak – Formulated with Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, Cajeput, and Lavender, this soak refreshes and revitalizes.

Detox & Purification

The best gift one can give is that of good health. If your body and mind need a reset, detoxifying essential oils can help eliminate toxins and refresh your system.

  • Key Oils: Ginger, Rosemary, Sage, Sweet Fennel
  • Your Perfect Match:
    • Forest Walk Candle — A cleansing combination of Lime, May Chang, Basil and Sage—offering a clean slate at any time of day.
    • PURIFY Bath Soak – Packed with Pink Grapefruit, Ginger, Rosemary, and Sweet Fennel, this soak is perfect for those seeking a fresh start.

Create A Moment Worth Reminiscing Over

Incorporating aromatherapy into your wellness routine does more than just make your space smell good—it actively shapes your mental and emotional well-being. The simple act of lighting a candle or soaking in a fragrant bath can become a powerful ritual.

Over time, these scents can train your mind to associate specific aromas with relaxation, energy, or renewal, making it easier to shift into the mindset you need. Whether you’re winding down after a stressful day, seeking a moment of clarity, or giving yourself a fresh start, aromatherapy transforms ordinary moments into meaningful self-care experiences.

By intentionally choosing scents that support your well-being, you’re not just indulging in a sensory treat—you’re cultivating a lasting practice of balance and tranquility.
