From Brew to Bottle: The Wellness Ritual of Tea-Based Perfumes

Now we are settling into the cooler months, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and slow down a little to embrace comforting rituals. As you start to swap the iced teas for warming teas and cosy blankets, your scent choices will change as well.

Most of us favour grounding and calming fragrances during this season, and one of the most memorable and soothing ways to complement your overall wellbeing is through tea-based perfume.

Here at Scent Life, we’re incredibly passionate about deepening the connection between your choice of fragrance and self-care. We have chosen to curate a collection of wellness fragrances inspired by our favourite blends of tea to help bring the same level of comfort into your everyday as you’d get from tea.

We’re going to have a look at our tea-based perfumes and how scent and wellness go hand in hand to create a beautiful daily fragrance ritual you can enjoy all year round.

What are Tea-Based Perfumes?

Echoing the teas that have inspired our stunning range of delicate fragrances, our tea-based perfumes have layered scents designed to soothe and comfort you on even the chilliest winter morning.

Notes featured in our perfumes include green or black teas, sweet florals, soft woods, and a flutter of zesty citrus that are all subtle yet soothing, making them an ideal partner in meditations or moments of mindfulness.

Our fragrances are also designed to capture moments as well as be a comforting scent throughout the day. For example, our Tea in the Woods fragrance captures the very essence of enjoying your favourite blend deep in the serene woodlands.

The Scent and Wellness Connection

Not many people realise that the scent we surround ourselves with can entirely shift our state of mind for better or for worse. Tea is rich in L-theanine, which is best known for its ability to promote relaxation without the effect of drowsiness.

This is one of the reasons why we chose to create a range of tea-inspired perfumes designed to harness this ability to help the wearer reduce stress, enjoy calming scents, and improve mindfulness.

One of our popular scents is Manuka Memories, which is a beautiful example of self-care with scent. It’s pretty well known that Manuka honey has wonderful healing abilities and a delightfully gentle sweetness that acts as a cocooning fragrance for the wearer to keep them comforted throughout the day.

In a similar fashion, Chai Dreams has a whole host of delicious spices littered throughout its notes that help to capture the essence of Autumn as a whole. It can be incredibly comforting for a person to have different seasonal fragrances to help them relive their favourite memories of the season simply through smelling their go-to fragrances.

How to Integrate Perfume into Daily Rituals

Creating a mindful perfume ritual is nowhere near as difficult as you might think. Just identify moments where you’re already at peace or practising a moment of mindfulness, and try to work your signature scent into the mix.

Morning Beginnings

Start your day with a spritz of one of your favourites like Zesty Earl Grey on your pulse points. Allow the fragrance to awaken your senses and say good morning to a new beginning.

Remaining Grounded

Try to find a little time around midday for some yoga, gentle stretching, meditation, or even journaling. In this moment, apply something soothing like Manuka Memories or Vanilla Breeze to your wrists and collarbone. Take a second to breathe deeply, inhaling all of the sweet fragrances around you and allowing yourself to remain present in the moment.

Evening Wind-Down

Forget Me Not, Chai Dreams, or even Amber Saffron make a beautiful bedtime companion. Simply mist your pillow with a delicate layer of fragrance and allow the scent to ease your mind of mental clutter as you settle into the land of slumber.

Create Your Own Mindful Perfume Experience This Autumn

Autumn and Winter are the ideal times to start bringing in mindful moments throughout the day to appreciate the wonderful life you’ve been given.
