Cinnamon, nutmeg and pine - just some of the smells that make us instantly think of Christmas. But did you know that festive essential oils like these can do wonders for your wellbeing too? From helping you to feel a little more relaxed (which is always welcome over Christmas) to helping boost your mood - and even help you sleep - here are six festive scents we LOVE to get you in the festive spirit, and give you wellbeing a boost too…
Cinnamon Essential Oil
Reminiscent of cosy winter days, cinnamon essential oil is not only a sweet and spicy scent that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside… it's also known and loved for its soothing abilities. Research (like this study) has even found it helps to reduce feelings of stress.
Keen to give it a try? See hello to our Christmas Wish Candle. A feel-good festive favourite that smells just like a home-baked Christmas pudding, this scent blend is familiar and nostalgic - thanks to the expert (and 100% natural) blend of cinnamon alongside mandarin and tonka bean.
Pine Essential Oil
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a fresh pine tree at Christmas right? Pine essential oil is an invigorating festive scent will instantly create an uplifting atmosphere - while also having a positive impact on your mood too. This is because pine is known to have an mood-boosting effect and can even help to reduce feelings of stress.
Try diffusing our Perfect Peace Essential Oil Blend through your Wellbeing Pod and fill your home with this fresh and uplifting scent. You’ll feel the tension melt away in moments. We also love this for its head-clearing nature.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Rich in history, frankincense essential oil is a woody scent that has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for years. Not only does it smell warm and spicy, but it is also known to have a grounding and calming effect and can help to reduce tension and lift your mood - perfect for all the chaos Christmas often brings.
The perfect frankincense candle for your nights in? Definitely Cosy Nights which welcomes a smoky and stress-busting blend of frankincense with sandalwood and nutmeg - perfect for helping you to reset and recharge. Bliss!
Myrrh Essential Oil
Myrrh essential oil is another long-standing favourite that’s been used for thousands of years. Sweet and also slightly smoky, it’s often blended with citrus essential oils to create an uplifting scent, just like in our Perfect Peace collection. In this, myrrh is expertly blended with pine and lime peel to create a fresh and invigorating take on your usual Christmas scents.
Not only does myrrh make a wonderful addition to a festive fragrance blend, but it can also help to promote feelings of relaxation too - and we’re all about a little R&R.
Nutmeg Essential Oil
Did you know that nutmeg essential oil not only smells delicious (like a toasty warm fire with a hint of sweetness) but it can also elevate your mood? Research (like this study) found it could improve your mood, and it’s also believed nutmeg can reduce tension in the body and promote feelings of relaxation - perfect to help you prepare for a better night’s sleep.
