What Exactly Are Hotel Spa Scents?

Traditionally-speaking, a spa is defined as a site where mineral-rich spring water and sometimes seawater is utilized in medicinal baths.

Spa towns or resorts (including hot springs resorts) usually offer a choice of treatments, which are collectively known as balneotherapy.

The belief in the curative powers of spring water dates back to the ancient world, and today spas are found everywhere but are particularly prevalent in Europe and Japan.

The spa experience is all about pleasure and enjoyment and these sensations can be recreated in one’s own personal space.

Our hotel-inspired spa scents are intended to enhance and nurture feelings of relaxation, warmth and sheer indulgence.

Pleasant smells evoke lingering, positive mind sets, which in turn can reverberate up to an entire day and sometimes beyond.

Since the beginning of recorded history, certain scents have been favored as facets that can boost positive emotions, reduce stress and release negative energy. 

Murals, petroglyphs and frescoes indicate that scents were utilized and enjoyed in ancient Egypt, China, Greece and Rome.

Why Are Spa Scents Linked To Peace and Serenity?

Finding inner peace is a life-long quest exacerbated by the complex pace of modern life and its demands on work and quality of life and family that in tandem constantly propel us in diverse directions.

There is a world of science behind the idea of serenity that extends far beyond a state of relaxation.

It entails the mind, the body, the human spirit and a wide range of certain essential oils like: fresh greens; cooling eucalyptus; minty, cool peppermint; rich, intense jasmine; calming woods; mellow lavender and sweet, apple-nuanced chamomile.

The Psychology Of Spa Scents

Spa scents perfectly complement spa treatments, which ease stress, delight the senses and soothe bruised human spirits.

Thanks to modern technology and innovation, these fragrances can all be experienced in the privacy of your own residence any day of the year.

Fragrance oils are especially chosen to evoke a delightful deep state of harmony, serenity and relaxation.

While scent is the prime mover, its power is aided by comfortable surroundings and soft music, which soothe the troubled human as much as it does the savage beast. 

An understanding of how the human brain interprets scent to create physical and emotional responses is the force behind the psychology of fragrance.

There are many factors and their significance has increased over time in both the medicinal and cosmetic industries.

Our sense of smell plays an important role in the physiological effects of fragrance concerning stress levels, mood inducement and working capacity.

Fragrance can directly impact attitudes and memory formation, which occur in the limbic system of the brain, which controls memory and emotion.
