Sweet, sublime summer! After many long months of rain and cloudy skies, I am ecstatic to finally enjoy some warmth and sunshine. From making tea pops to camping, there are so many enjoyable activities to squeeze into the short number of sunny months here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
With the arrival of summer, I find I need to change my hair and skin care routines, and I gravitate towards different aromatherapy scents than those that appeal during cool and overcast days. It is so fun to experiment with creating your own scents, and our new 5mL and 10mL roll top bottles are the perfect containers to store and apply your creations!
I am excited to share some of my favorite summer scents, designed to appeal to the senses and evoke the uplifting energy of the season. Each recipe fills one 5mL and one 10mL roll top bottle at a 2% essential oil dilution, so you can have one bottle for home and one bottle for on the go.
1. Summer Dreams Perfume
2. Carribean Cologne
3. Great Outdoors Aroma
4. Sacred Forest Scent
I find this floral-citrus blend to be soothing and uplifting, great for days when the heat seems to put folks on-edge.
Ingredients
This complex, spicy-sweet blend reminds me of summers spent in Florida and is my favorite fragrance for clearing inharmonious energy.
Ingredients
Refreshing and revitalizing, this blend has the added benefit of containing essential oils that help to reduce the annoyance of mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying insects.
Ingredients
Whether I’m in the woods or just wish to be, I find this resinous, evergreen blend to be centering and grounding.
