Humans are forever seeking ways to capture the essence of memories. Beyond simple recollection, we seek avenues to bring us back to the feelings that bloomed within us during special moments. Out of all the methods of creating those pathways of memory, harnessing the olfactory system is perhaps one of the most powerful. How many times have you caught a whiff of something and been instantly transported? Pass an off-brand breath mint my way and I am suddenly 8 years old, riding in the backseat of my grandparent’s car, reaching up for one of the mints that were always in the glove box.
With Summer nearly here I find my thoughts drifting ahead to all the precious things that come with it. Long golden afternoons at the river, berry picking, barbecues with friends, nighttime bike rides, and camping trips. Quietly, I also find myself wondering how to preserve that radiant summer joy and contentment. Because, though it hasn’t yet arrived, I already know that summer will be over too quickly and that here in the Willamette Valley that means the beginning of the cool, dark, and wet months. This summer roll-on perfume recipe felt like a perfect way to encapsulate the magic of the season. Whether it be used as a highlight for your sunny days or to bring warmth to the rainy ones, this blend combines warming, bright, herbaceous, and floral essential oils in the hopes of that it brings you uplifting jubilation and delight year-round!
