Surround yourself with sensual scents

I cannot believe it has been about a year since I last wrote about adding fragrance to your home to lift the lockdown mood.

I have discovered some stunning mood enhancers in recent weeks.

After what seems like a lifetime in lockdown, our living and workspaces need a burst of freshness!

Mervue

Fill your home with the uplifting fragrance of a Mervue vegan rose geranium aromatic candle. Some earthy base notes combined with heart warming petitgrain and lavender, enhanced with the delicately fragranced rose-scented geranium, produce a wonderful floral aroma suitable for any room in your home. A vegan and cruelty-free product and packaging, it has been inspected and verified by the Vegan Society and Leaping Bunny organisations. It’s available in selected pharmacies, for €25.

Blumain Diffuser

Made in Ballydesmond, Blumain Organics is a great collection of natural skincare and fragranced candles and diffuser. Why not indulge in a Lemon Grass & May Chang Reed Diffuser, for €30? Enjoy weeks of continuous fragrance with this fresh and zesty diffuser. Perfect for the office or kitchen, the fragrance is potent and the I find that lemongrass is very vibrant and quite stimulating so I think this is for any active space. You can order online at blumainorganicskincare.ie.

Green Angel

Introducing Green Angel fragranced room sprays. Available in five sensual varieties, these sprays will hit all the right notes with your nostrils, but the essential oils within could help to ease stress, anxiety and encourage restful sleep.

Part of the Precious Oils Collection, floral-based neroli is a soothing scent made from distilled petals of the orange blossom tree, it will help melt away those busy days at work. To improve your mood, jasmine is an exquisite essential oil, while ylang ylang relieves anxiety and will help when you need some relaxation and proper rest. See greenangel.com.

Faith in Nature

What is better this time of year than an invigorating scent which will kickstart your beauty routine as we come into the new season? Faith in Nature is an eco-friendly beauty brand that was founded in 1974 by aromatherapist Rivka Rose and is famously known for its naturally scented products.
