One Thousand and One Nights, scents of the Orient
Falling stars, grains of sand, warm skin.
Summer nights have something magical about them; the warm wind brings distant scents and evocations. Many, at this time of year, enjoy playing with the warm and sensual notes of the East. So, we thought we'd tell you a bit about the properties of these mystical and enveloping oils and keep you company as you gaze at the stars and make wishes.
An Arabian legend speaks of jasmine flowers as "stars fallen to earth": they release their maximum fragrance at night and are therefore linked to the two nocturnal celestial bodies par excellence, the Moon and Venus. These celestial bodies govern the balance of the female organism, both from a psycho-emotional and reproductive point of view. Jasmine essential oil is a secret ally for those who intend to re-establish a balance between mind and body, dancing between heaven and earth.
Patchouli It is the sweet scent of India, a persistent and warm oil that acts on the nervous system, reducing anxiety and tension. A powerful aphrodisiac, Patchouli was considered a plant linked to Eros since ancient times. It is a particularly persistent base note, providing strength and stability.
The earthy vigor of Patchouli and the spicy, sweet fire of Cinnamon meet the sparkling Lemon.
Light, earth, space: primordial energies.
A relaxing and sensual synergy of essential oils, to reconnect with our gut, heart, and feet.

Harmonizing, Myrrh serves to balance the spiritual and material worlds, giving us strength and optimism, and particularly helps people who are afraid to reveal their feelings. It makes us humble and devout, predisposing us to receive energy and love from others.
