STEP 5 - AROMAS OF THE SEASON

broken image

For many of us, when we smell an AROMA OF THE SEASON—pumpkin pie, cinnamon, warm sugar cookies, a freshly cut Christmas tree—we experience a sense of peace and joy.
 
This is not surprising. One of the most well-studied areas of aroma research is the effect of SMELL on emotions and mood. For example, there is convincing evidence demonstrating that simply inhaling the AROMA of an ESSENTIAL OIL is effective for calming nervous or anxious feelings in a variety of settings. 
 
This is why we enjoy the AROMAS OF THE SEASON so much. We link those beautiful AROMAS with holiday memories of time with those we love dearly: sitting by the fireplace, opening presents, traveling, and eating a yummy holiday meal.
 
During the HOLIDAY SEASON, many like to experience the AROMA of DOUGLAS FIR, CARDAMOM, CASSIA, CEDARWOOD, CINNAMON, CLOVE, FRANKINCENSE, GINGER, JUNIPER BERRY, MYRRH, WHITE FIR, and WILD ORANGE Essential Oils.
 
Enjoy the delightful fragrances of our limited-time HOLIDAY BLEND. This enchanting blend of Wild Orange, Nutmeg, Pine Needles, Cassia, Cinnamon Bark, and Vanilla promotes a warm holiday embrace and will fill your home and senses with the most inviting fragrance of the season.
