Scent is deeply evocative and forms our personal signature in the world. The key to wearing a beautiful scent is mindfulness: choose clean fragrances and moments to enhance your mood and space.
“Scent should invite those close enough to want to linger.”
Amber shares six tips for when and how to apply your fragrance + recommendations for the best natural scents that offer circularity, ingredient transparency and smell incredible.
Anointing
Blending aromatic oils with intent is personal and powerful. Anointing can be used on pulse points for therapeutic purposes. Apply a little sandalwood on your third eye for protection, lavender on your wrists and temples to soothe and calm, and a drop of rose on your heart to soften and centre. Ideal for travelling, a yoga class or when you’re on meditation retreat.
We recommend:
Bodha Vibration Perfumes. Perfume oil for creating the feeling you want. Complex living fragrances hand blended that stay close to your skin.
Sarah Dwyer Rosa Oil. A concentrated blend of precious plant extracts.
In your hair
Spraying your hair creates a halo scent effect. This personal touch offers you a direct personal experience and you can use a fragranced hair oil or spray. Wear for a night out in a crowd, think hot sweaty dance floors and loud fun gatherings. Leave an impression in the night air.
We recommend:
CZE Perfume Hair Oil . A lightweight blend of sandalwood, pineapple, fig and saffron delivering a silky nourished feel.
On your skin
Try some different places to spray – the soft creases of your inner elbows, the back of your neck. Evocative and erotic – tune in and create a quiet seduction, let scent be an invitation.
We recommend:
The Olfactory Perfumes. Rooted in nature and refined by intention these fragrances are a blend of organic essential oils and traditional ingredients of ambergris and oudh.
On your clothes
If you’re pregnant or have skin sensitives it’s nice to not miss out on wearing a fragrance. Simply spray a scarf or jacket and let the wind infuse and carry it as a love note. Perfect for when you’re feeling hormonally sensitive but still want a pick up or to catch a scent on the breeze.
We recommend:
Sana Jardin Perfumes. Sana Jardin is a socially conscious, luxury fragrance house with the vision to use clean and sustainable perfume as a vehicle for social impact and the economic empowerment of women.
Infused as massage oil
A beautiful way to connect and listen to your body, an aromatic massage oil is calming and soothing. Use essential oils to ground, centre and receive the benefits of the scent working therapeutically through your skin. Use this when you feel inward and needing some cocooning.
We recommend:
Embody Me Daily Oils. A luxurious bodycare range blending nutrient-rich botanical formulas and natural fragrances to deeply nourish and hydrate your skin, while enhancing feelings of courage, joy, peace and kindness.
Layer your fragrance over the day to create your own scent
Start with something soft and then layer as your mood shifts and transforms. Add an anointing oil behind your ears for an afternoon lift and then a warming spray to meld as the sun goes down. Be enveloped over the journey of a day, ideal for when you’re transitioning from events and meetings into more intimate spaces and relations.
We recommend:
Abel Fragrance. Conscious fragrance, blending biotechnology and master perfumery with 100% natural ingredients for a revolutionary scent journey.Each unisex Abel fragrances is designed to blend harmoniously with the whole range so find your favourites and mix, or enjoy few drops of an Absolute Essential Oil blends to anoint when needed.
Absolute Essential. We love Pink Iris for the afternoon and Black Anise for late night meets.
