Unearth the aromatic essence of shabby chic through these 5 enchanting scents that transport to a realm of sophistication and enduring beauty.

Rustic Chic Fragrances

The word, rustic, conjures the image of a sturdy log cabin hidden among the pine trees and surrounded by the glorious forest with all its magnificent muted hues of green, brown and grey.


The word itself derives from the Latin, rusticus, meaning peasant.


It evokes a multitude of outdoor smells and sensations as well, ranging from the warmth of a crackling open fire and burning woods to the delicious scents of dark, damp woodland and charred cedar interlaced with the fresh crisp scent of green.


Rustic fragrances symbolize the beauty of imperfection and rough edges, which are the authentic textures of life in its simplest form.


Why Are Rustic Chic Fragrances So Popular?

 

Warm, smoky, woody elements appeal to both men and women albeit they are usually associated with masculine scents.

 

They are also very popular among eco-conscious consumers who seek scents made with natural ingredients.


Some particularly favored elements include: buttery sandalwood; dry, balsamic cedar wood and green, slightly sharp vetiver.

 

Rustic fragrances suggest warmth and intimacy, and are evocative of nostalgic memories of fresh chopped wood, family camping trips and general feelings of comfort and happiness.  

 

The essence of rustic fragrance creation (and furniture) permits the beauty of nature to shine resplendent in the home.

 

The scent becomes essential to a calm relaxing ambiance that is emotionally tied to the earthy, organic fabric and character of the great outdoors.

 

There are manifold scents within this category because there are so many diverse notes that can be incorporated into a rustic fragrance.


These can include:wood; dirt; herbs; grass; moss and running water, just to name a few.  

 

Rustic Scent and Decor As Part of Interior Design


Bringing the outdoors inside with a fragrance represents a creative fusion between tangible elements such as: wood; burlap; metals; jute and stone with imperceptible sensory touches like scent that speaks of warmth, home, hearth and family pleasures.

 

Large windows create a smooth link between the two realms.


Simple, home spun and intensely beautiful in its own way, rustic interior design has rugged lines, and furniture represents the quintessential American spirit for a number of reasons.


For one, it allows for each piece to stand on its own individual merits, and for another, it reflects the assimilation of of the early settlers who left all things behind in their arduous trek to the New World.


Fragrances laden with woody and animal notes, such as creamy sandalwood, erotic musk and slightly floral feminine touches, are the perfect complements to rustic interiors, and they can also assume woody aspects when blended with dry balsamic cedar and lush, noble vanilla accords.


The complexity of these scents can range from soft and subtle to bold and robust.


Achieving That Perfect Rustic Aesthetic


The focus of rustic interiors is on the material and not the design, and in perfumery, formulations stress the fragrance and not the packaging or bottle within which it is housed.


Rustic creations are unpretentious and warm, and speak a language of security, comfort and relaxation among life’s simplest pleasures. Rustic scents are unpretentious and often robust.


They can transform any room in a home into a welcoming cloud that the human mind, nose and heart receives like a healing touch or sweet embrace. 


The Power of The Trees in Rustic Fragrances


The natural beauty that is manifested in the many trees of the forest, which include but are limited by:
balsamic pine, spicy, woody oak, sweet, green Douglas Fir, dry cedar and clean, refreshing evergreens, offer a protective canopy against the storms of life that haunt troubled spirits as well as safety, comfort and serenity. 


Pine, particularly, is believed to positively impact mood, positive thinking and lessen stress levels.


Their related scents are grounding, spiritual and rejuvenating and their many properties have been known and used for centuries in ancient cultures, both to quell the power of evil spirits and heal wounded spirits.


The following represent a partial list of some of our most popular rustic fragrances.
