Aromatics - Why and What

Why would you need aromatics and what purpose do they serve.

My short list would include the following reasons. I'm sure I may have missed a few but this covers the most common ones at least.

• Covering up that sudden oder?
• Masking that annoying gym bag?/sports gear?
• Changing the mood?
• Sleep aid?
• Clearing the mind?
• Preparing for ceremony?

And the list goes on! There are so many reasons to spray, mist, diffuse, or otherwise introduce a different aromatic into your living (working or commuting in your car) environment. We even try to sneak a bit of aroma into our work environment.My personal favorite reason is not on the list. Just because I can. It smells good and that makes me feel good.

We all have a boundless sea of products to choose from. Some are natural and others expertly developed in a lab from synthesized compounds engineered to have mass market appeal and be mass produced cheaply. But I don't swim in that pool, I'm on natures side so I stick to essential oils. When you are talking about Artisan crafting, no two people who blend their own synergy blends are alike. I focus on what I do so I cannot speak for others. When I craft I use pure essential oils and I create products that are in harmony with nature and are all Vegan friendly.* I select oils that "speak to me".

You can see the full selection on the website under Aromatic Mists. I have tried my best to describe the scents as clearly as possible for you. While there is a wide selection they tend to get grouped into some similar characteristics:

• Floral : These tend to be soothing and impart peaceful feelings
• Citrus ; These tend to uplift the spirit. Think about it, it's hard to frown when you are peeling an orange. 
• Forest - These are stronger and lingering and tend to fall into the range of protection or grounding.Think about standing in a forest and how the tree roots deep into the earth and stands strong and tall reaching for the sky.
• Herbal - These tend to be crisp and bold and are clarifying. 

Now this is a very simplistic guide to what can be a very complex process. Blending essential oils into a synergistic balance takes practice and there are many who go through very advanced training on the art of blending. Some of the blends I have created for Tres Spa took many months to finally balance. One took me over a yer and a half before I had it the way I intended it.

* Why Vegan Friendly? I am not a full Vegan but I do admire those who are. I have a great respect for those who practice any lifestyle that is in harmony with the world around us. They are my "toughest" customer and I figure if I can make them happy, the rest of us would be happy too. A side benefit for my Non Vegan customers, you can always claim your skin care is Vegan if it's Tres Spa!
