create your own scent routine
Courtney Jones
every morning i get up, make coffee, clean my desk, light a candle, and get to work. these are my ideal mornings- this is how i feel the most productive, powerful, and accomplished. my to-do list doesn’t have a chance.
you probably have some sort of routine that you follow- you get up, maybe grab a cup of coffee, brush your teeth, pack for work, etc. these daily routines are what build our lives, and whether you know it or not, smell plays a large role in your lifestyle.
scent is such a powerful tool you can use when you are building a space- you can choose specific notes, tones, and styles of candles to create the specific atmosphere that you are looking for. they not only transform a space, but also your feelings in that space and how you interact with it.
as mentioned before, i always light a candle when i clear off my desk and start work for the day. this scent is usually our oak + moss. it just feels right in my workspace- the darker woody notes and earthy tones just click for me. this space is very different than when i take a calming bath, or curl up with a good book on the weekend, or crawl into bed for the night. these spaces get their own scent routine that incorporate different blends that create the space they are meant to be.
to help you find the right scent for the routine you are looking for, we have create a quick guide highlighting some of our candles commonly used to create atmospheric vibes:
