Aromatherapy Benefits: Embrace Fall Fragrances for Well-Being

Why are Baltic Aromas Unique?

The Baltic region experiences long, cold winters and short, warm summers. These brief summers compel the local plants to develop potent fragrances to attract bees swiftly for pollination. Without these strong aromas, the plants and flowers would not be pollinated in time, hindering their ability to reproduce. When these plants are incorporated into skincare products, the result is a blend that is both natural and aromatic, reflecting what we believe all skincare should aspire to be.

What Is Aromatherapy?

Skincare products with natural scents can also be considered a form of aromatherapy, which the Cleveland Clinic describes as a therapeutic treatment. Aromatherapy utilizes natural plant extracts, also known as essential oils, to support physical, emotional, and mental health. ThoughtCo also explains that when we are exposed to pleasant scents, our sense of smell plays a significant role in improving our mood and reducing stress levels. This can be achieved by incorporating our products into your skincare routine.

Seasonal Scents

When the temperature drops, our sense of smell becomes sharper, making scents feel stronger and last longer in the dry air. In the colder months, deep, warm scents can wrap you in a feeling of coziness and comfort, bringing a sense of calm and security, perfect for the dark evenings and quiet atmosphere.

In contrast, summer’s warmth and humidity make scents feel lighter and more fleeting. That’s why light, fresh scents are ideal for the warmer months, as they refresh the senses and provide a cooling effect that feels pleasant and invigorating.

If you continue using light, fresh scents when winter arrives, you might notice they lack the depth and lasting power they had in the summer. The cold air and lower humidity prevent these scents from developing as they did before. On the other hand, the deep, warm scents that are perfect for winter can feel too heavy and overpowering in summer’s humid heat.

By choosing scents that match the season, you can not only improve your overall well-being but also create a stronger connection with the natural rhythms. This can help lift your mood, reduce stress, and bring a greater sense of balance and harmony to your daily life.
