SCENTS & RITUALS
Scents As Self Care
As the new year begins, self-care doesn’t need to come in the form of big resolutions. Sometimes it’s as simple as changing the atmosphere around you, using scent as a tool to reset, refocus or slow things down.
Rather than adding more to your routine, scent can act as a quiet signal, helping mark new beginnings, shift energy and create moments of care throughout the day.

Using Scent Intentionally
Different moments call for different kinds of care. Using scent with intention helps support how you want to feel: grounded, clear or reset.
Iced Matcha’s tea leaves invigorate and awaken, ideal for easing into the day or stepping away from noise. For clarity, Shinrin-Yoku brings the outdoors in with clean woods and soft earthiness, while Sage’s herbal notes help clear the air and signal a fresh start.

The Gym Reset
Movement is self-care too. A good recovery routine helps ease tension, prevent soreness and reset both body and mind. Finishing with an all-over oil and simple skincare helps rehydrate the skin, soften tired muscles and turn recovery into a moment of care.
Incense, Intentionally
Rooted in centuries-old traditions, burning incense offers a simple way to slow the pace of the day. Lighting incense becomes a deliberate act, a few quiet minutes to step away from distraction, breathe deeper and allow scent to shift the atmosphere around you.
Even after the stick or cone has burned out, the scent lingers, softening the room and encouraging a slower rhythm to return to whatever comes next.
Used intentionally, incense becomes about creating space: a pause that’s felt long after the smoke has cleared.
