Your sense of smell is a powerful—but often ignored—way to connect with the natural world and expand your plant knowledge.
Often disregarded in strategies for healing, the human sense of smell is a powerful pathway for maintaining and recovering health. In fact, the human sense of smell is 10,000 times stronger than any of the other senses! You can unlock this immense potential with just a few drops of a properly blended scent. No wonder perfumery can be such a scentsual experience!
Enjoy this perfume blend straight from The Herbal Academy's brand new Natural Perfumery Course.
This calming and balancing blend encourages us to find joy in the changing seasons and to live each day with gratitude.
This lovely perfume blend features:
Neroli (Citrus x aurantium var. amara) - A light and floral top note, neroli is said to be calming and stabilizing to the heart and mind. It encourages lightness, lifts sorrows, and brings joy, calm, and peace.
Sweet orange (Citrus x sinensis) - Sweet orange is known to be harmonizing and soothing to anxiety. In Ayurveda, sweet orange is considered vata-balancing, making it a great choice for autumn, the season when vata is most likely to be out of balance.
Rose (Rosa spp.) - Floral, rich, and sweet, rose serves as this blend’s middle note and it promotes healthy spiritual and emotional boundaries and protection.
Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) - This deep and floral base note is known for its relaxing effects, which quiet the mind, heart, and body.
