The Sense of Smell in Humans is More Powerful Than We Think.


Smell is a chemical sense tied to the emotional centre of the brain called the olfactory bulb, structure located in the forebrain of vertebrates that receives neural input about odours detected by the cells in the nasal cavity. It a powerful sense, it can make us salivate, change our heart rate, attract us to a mate or stir our memories to the pleasurable times in our lives. Smell can also make us buy. Smells are linked with emotions. "The quickest way to change emotions is with smell."


Essential oils are often more concentrated than artificial fragrances, and the aroma can be much more powerful without being overwhelming. Moreover, many essential oils offer therapeutic qualities that could help you relax after a long day or boost your energy levels.


Why choose an Essential Oil Candle instead of an Artificial Fragrance Candle?

Essential oils are natural, aromatic extracts obtained from plants. They're made by steaming or pressing various parts of a plant (flowers, bark, stems, roots, petals, leaves or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce the natural fragrance. It can take several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil. These oils contain the essence of aromatics found in different botanical species. They are powerful yet gentle, offering a natural solution to many wellness needs.


On the other hand, artificial fragrance oils are often made from synthetically produced chemicals formulated to mimic a natural scent. Not only can these be overwhelming if used in candles, but can cause headaches, nausea, wheezing, skin rash, itchy eyes, fatigue in some people and migraines.


Furthermore, artificial fragrances aren’t able to provide the same therapeutic benefits as essential oils do. Essential oils offer a wide range of benefits that can help you relax, or rejuvenate depending on the oil and its properties. This versatility means that essential oils can be used in a variety of ways to benefit your health and well-being – something that synthetic fragrance simply cannot replicate.


Never underestimate the power of lighting up a 100% Natural Aromatherapy Candle. The warm glow and the gorgeous natural aroma that will greet you as you enter the room invokes a romantic vibe, which is both meditating and magical.
