How To Make Your Home Or Business Smell Like a Spa

From the wonderful woody My Way blend that wafts through the airy hallways of the 1 Hotel in South Beach to the Belagio Hotel Spa scent, step into serenity as our perfumers unravel the secrets to infusing your home or business with the tranquil ambiance of a luxurious spa and introduce 7 exquisite, newly-composed, spa-type diffuser oil fragrances that promise to transport to realms of relaxation and rejuvenation.

The Importance Of Having Moments of Calm and Relaxation

The dynamic nature of the modern consumer demands products and services that coincide with healthier lifestyles.

The awareness of health and well-being as integral to a life-long journey has inspired the customization of the contemporary spa, which is marked by an increase in the establishment of medical spas, mineral springs spas and mud baths, just to name a few. 

Relaxing at home is elusive and sometimes impossible during these terrible pandemic days and nights, but there is a comforting escape route available via the introduction of a calm and fresh fragrance streaming softly throughout a home and infusing all those it embraces with soothing, serene and peaceful thoughts.

What Is The Typical Spa Smell?

The typical spa smell is often characterized by a blend of several soothing and refreshing scents, with the following being the most common:

• Eucalyptus: This is perhaps the most iconic spa scent, known for its fresh, minty, and slightly medicinal aroma that promotes a sense of clarity and ease of breathing.
• Lavender: Renowned for its calming and relaxing properties, lavender's floral, sweet, and slightly herbaceous scent is often used to reduce stress and induce relaxation.
• Peppermint or Spearmint: These minty fragrances add a cooling, invigorating aspect to the spa environment, refreshing both the air and the mind.
• Citrus Notes: Scents like lemon, orange, or bergamot provide a clean, uplifting aroma that can energize and purify the atmosphere.
• Tea Tree: With its sharp, slightly medicinal scent, tea tree oil is valued for its antiseptic and purifying qualities, often used in spa treatments for its health benefits.
• Rose: Sometimes used for its luxurious, romantic, and deeply floral scent, rose adds a layer of opulence and relaxation.
• Sandalwood: Offering a warm, woody, and slightly sweet scent, sandalwood is known for its grounding and meditative qualities.

Often, these scents are combined in essential oil diffusers, candles, or sprays to create a signature "spa" aroma. The combination aims to evoke a sense of tranquility, cleanliness, and rejuvenation, making the spa environment feel like an escape from the everyday. The specific blend might vary from one spa to another, but the goal is always to create a calming, therapeutic atmosphere.

A Few Relevant Studies

A study published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine in 2012 involved pregnant women undergoing aromatherapy for the treatment of anxiety. Participants were divided into two randomly selected groups, where the first was exposed to aromatherapy and the second was given a placebo.

Results indicated that the aromatherapy sector experienced a much higher reduction in feelings of anxiety, tension and anger as well as heart rates than those from the control group.

What Exactly Is A Spa Scent?

A spa scent is many things to many people, but in universal terms, such fragrances are characterized by their ability to render sensations of calm, relaxation, warmth and indulgence.

An investment in lavender oil is the easiest way to transform an ordinary home into smelling like a spa, but for more complex authenticity, blended oils such as: cedar wood; orange; peppermint; geranium and ylang-ylang, provide a natural path to a home spa atmosphere with the help of dispersion via waterless diffusers.

Soaps, Sachets And Cleaning Products

Spa scents can also permeate a home via special soaps and cleaning products. A quality fragrance infused in a soap not only lingers on the hands, but also travels throughout the home.

The mundane ritual of washing one’s hands can add a small but significant touch by streaming home spa aromas to every room in the home.

Cleaning products that promote spa scents include those containing minty, pine, sharp and green eucalyptus and fresh, clean citrus elements.

Sachets infused with a chosen scent scattered around a home, inside pillow-cases as well as dresser drawers, contribute to the uniformity of the spa fragrance.

One tip for bringing a little bit of spa into the average home bathroom is a small touch indeed.

Simply soak the ends of a cotton q-tip with a favored essential oil and place it in the middle of a toilet tissue roll.

This works best when rolls are hung horizontally, but if they are vertical, a tiny strip of tape will keep the swab in place.
