Our Scent Trails

Starting at home in the UK, we sourced Melissa oil, which uplifts the mind and restores emotional balance. We then took a short hop to Italy for some bergamot for an energising, uplifting experience and to trigger positive energy. Next stop saw us journey into the southern hemisphere, starting with South Africa for some lime to further energise and up-lift. We needed some balance to this energy so next visited Madagascar for some mood-enhancing and relaxing Ylang Ylang as well as some warm, strong vanilla. Last stop Bhutan, Kingdom in the Himalayas, for some vibrant lemongrass.

Our summer journey took us almost around the world’s circumference. It all began in southern India, where we sourced Tuberose with its relaxing, almost sedative effects. We stayed in this incredible country, travelling to northern India, the home of rose absolute, a sensuous and calming scent. Then we journeyed west to Europe for some mandarin from southern Italy, adding a level of summer vibrancy and finally across the Atlantic to North America and Petitgrain to reduce stress, aid concentration and counteract tiredness.

The pursuit of a mellow autumn scent saw us travel halfway around the world. Our first stop was for some soothing vetiver from India, which we combined with anxiety-easing Frankincense from the Middle East. A quick hop to Egypt for some rose geranium, known to restore harmony, balance and joy, then thousands of miles west to South America to add some palo Santo which enhances presence and creativity. We then stayed in the Americas, with a final stop in North America for some thyme, a mood-boosting and uplift-ing scent.

Our winter journey saw us crossing continents in pursuit of the perfect blend. South East Asia gave us clove, to uplift and promote a sense of optimal health. A generous bounty from India included Vetiver for restful sleep and to soothe restlessness, Oudh, a sensuous and earthy scent, and cinnamon with its antibacterial and strong immunity triggers. A slight deviation to the north east and we were in The Himalayas of Nepal which lent us Spikenard, a woody and spicy scent, known for relaxing the nervous system. Africa was our next destination and The Atlas Mountains in Morocco where we sourced Cedarwood, a warm, calm and grounding oil, before a final stop in North America for some fatigue and stress-reducing Petitgrain.
