The hero of our Nourishing Hand Duo and complimentary Aromatic Candle, our Bergamot, Neroli, Cedar fragrance shows top notes of bergamot and tangelo; heart notes of lavandin and neroli; and base notes of cedar and orange flower for a wooded, warm, floral and resinous aroma with sweet herbaceous overtones.
The benefits
Bergamot
Extracted from the rind of bergamot fruit, this essential oil is refreshing and rounded; sweet but complex; with floral, herbal, and resinous undertones. It is known for its ability to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and fatigue and increase positive mood.
Studies have shown that inhaling bergamot signals the brain to release dopamine and serotonin, which slows the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and has a calming effect on the mind and body.
Neroli
Neroli oil is steam-distilled from the flowers of the orange blossom tree, which must be handpicked due to their delicate nature. Neroli oil emits a rich and exotic floral scent with sweet citrus overtones. It is known for its soothing qualities and ability to promote feelings of relaxation, stabilise blood pressure and reduce pulse rate.
When inhaled, neroli oil has been shown to have a calming effect on mood by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
Cedar
Distilled from the needles, leaves, bark, and berries of cedar trees, cedarwood oil has a warm, woody, herbaceous and comforting aroma.
Inhaling cedarwood oil is known to improve cerebral activity, relax the body, enhance concentration, decrease hyperactivity, ease tension and clear the mind. This grounding aroma promotes emotional balance and calms the nervous.
