5 Aromas to Put You in a Spring State of Mind
1. Lavender
One of the most versatile essential oils, lavender is often used as a sleep aid and because it creates a sense of calmness. Lavender is a soothing scent that brings the feel of a sunny, spring day walking through a meadow. You’ll find this scent in many of our aroma kits:
- Lavender Dream is part of our collaboration with Laneige
- Dusk is a blend of lavender, lime, and vanilla found in our Canopy x Open Spaces kit
- Lull is a lavender-vanilla blend designed for our Little Dreams nursery humidifier bundle
2. Cedarwood
The warm scent of cedar has long been used to help alleviate stress. The rich, calming aroma can help you feel centered and grounded, so you can keep up with the hustle and bustle of a busy season. Here’s where you’ll find cedar essential oil:
- Herbal Musk warms up a sage and hemp blend as part of our new Bloom by Canopy kit
- Midday is a sage and cedarwood blend found in our Canopy x Open Spaces kit
- Orange Neroli is a stimulating blend of neroli, cedarwood, and citrus that comes in our Canopy x Curie kit
3. Bergamot
With a pleasantly warm and almost citrusy scent, bergamot is often used to ease agitation and restore balance to the senses. If you enjoy a cup of Earl Gray tea, you’ll love adding this oil to your diffuser in one of our special blends:
- Unwind is Canopy’s signature scent, a blend of bergamot and tea blossom
- Beach Flower is a bright, beachy scent that combines bergamot, blue agave, and sweet cactus as part of our Coastals by Canopy kit
- Dawn contains bergamot and tea blossom for an energizing addition to the Canopy x Open Spaces kit
- Grapefruit Cassis is a sweet, invigorating blend of pink grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon found in the Canopy x Curie kit
4. Chamomile
You’ve probably heard about the restorative nature of chamomile tea, which is often used to help induce sleep and alleviate mental and emotional distress. Chamomile essential oil has many of the same benefits, creating a sense of relaxation and providing the basis for deeper and more restorative rest. Chamomile is part of Salt Cave, a warm, soothing blend in the Rituals x Canopy kit.
5. Greenery
While flowers are considered the stars of the season, refreshing green scents and rich herbal scents can also give you a slice of nature. Eucalyptus oil helps ease decongestion so you can breathe easier. You’ll find it in Greenhouse, part of the Canopy x The Sill kit, and Botanica in the Prose x Canopy kit. The Greenhouse blend also features ivy, another oil recognized as a decongestant.
