Hello Love,

What a blessing it is that you’ve found your way here.

Working with the plant kingdom is a potent and beautiful path reminding us of who we truly are, and botanical perfume is a fragrant reminder of this sacred connection.

Perhaps you think of this as something simply to wear, a way to smell good.. but it’s so much more than that. This is a relationship. An ally. A subtle tool to support you on many levels.

To deepen your experience and receive its full benefit, here are a few things you should know:

Scent bypasses the rational mind making it one of the most effective ways to reprogram the subconscious. Scent is the only one of the five senses that has a direct line to the brain’s emotional control centre without first being processed through the thalamus (the brain's relay station). This makes the response to smell immediate, visceral, and deeply emotional.

Plant derived aromas take this even deeper. Essential oils are said to be the soul of the plant and work not only biochemically, but vibrationally as well. Carrying unique codes in their fragrance to shift our energy bodies and remind us of our connection to our soul + spirit as well as our relationship with nature. When used intentionally, scent rewires the neural pathways and the energy channels.

As you anoint yourself, taking in the aroma while holding your intention, you are programming your subconscious to create association between the two. In time it will become an autonomic response, bringing you ease-fully into your intention.

A common example of this, is the aroma of coffee in the morning signalling to you that it’s time to wake up and start your day. Or, an incense that you use during meditation - you begin to associate this smell with meditation helping to drop you into that space easier because your body remembers it. Perfumes can do the same, with/for absolutely anything you desire.

So now it’s your time to build a relationship with your Botanical Perfume. Take a moment to set an intention or a wish for this aroma. This may come through words, feelings, images, colors etc. It may also evolve over time - know that this is a sacred thing between you and the plants, you can’t get it wrong! Every time you put on your perfume, make a moment to connect with this intention. Rolling the perfume onto your inner wrists, rubbing them together and smelling the aroma. This is where the brain starts creating the association to the scent. These perfumes are also blended for therapeutic benefits, you may find that you like to put them on even before bed, or for a specific part of your day.

Cultivate ritual of not only beautifying yourself, but embodying the person you want to be.

Remember - every day deserves to be beautiful, and you are filled with beauty, anoint as such.

Enjoy the aromatic journey.

With Love and Gratitude,
