Our Most Popular Fragrances For Every Season of the Year
Fragrance oils are wondrous gifts from Mother Nature and they transform common spaces into exotic, mood enhancing settings.
Much like music, the notes formulating these oils create scents that are stored in the limbic system of the brain, forging lasting impressions that transport users to cherished moments long faded from recall.
Seasonal scents are specifically curated to be used at different times of the year.
They are inspired by changing landscapes, climes and the various mental associations aligned with each season.
They are deeply connected to sensory experiences and escape into moments from the tangled yet glorious past of youth, nostalgia and adventure.
The Character Of Seasonal Fragrances
Many people choose to switch their favorite scents to align with the seasons, seeking lighter scents in warmer months and heavier ones in winter that match their moods, environment, and personal preferences.
The weather greatly affects both how fragrances perform and how we perceive them.
Seasonal scents work because they mesh in a way that nothing else can with the memories and emotions each of us carry throughout lives that are triggered by their presence.
They are often lost to recall due to the stressful dust of every day life, but they are immediately revived with exposure to the weather and ambiance associated with each season.
They are the connective tissue that greatly influence warm feelings of nostalgia from seasons past.
Factors to consider when selecting seasonal fragrance oils include: desired mood; atmosphere and environment.
There was once a movie called “A Man For All Seasons” which concerned the life and times of a great man known as Sir Thomas More — fragrances too are for all seasons and are artfully curated to duplicate the essence of each of Mother Nature’s timeless and infinite varieties.
