In this video I’m sharing the fragrances I genuinely reach for when I want to improve my mental wellbeing. I really do see fragrance as a form of therapy sometimes—not in a “this fixes everything” way, but in a grounding, calming, soothing way that can help me feel more relaxed and serene when I need it. Every scent in this edit has a really natural feel to it, and most of them mentally transport me somewhere: a forest, a cloudy beach in a cosy jumper, or even a clifftop yoga retreat with Palo Santo burning. I talk you through the exact vibes and notes that make each one feel comforting—creamy sandalwoods, clean musks, crisp green woods, soft tea-and-floral blends, and warm woody scents that feel rich and grounding. If you’re someone who gets overwhelmed by heavy fragrance when you’re anxious, I also share a few “second skin” and fresh-out-the-shower options that feel clean and serene. And if your mood feels heavy, I give my little tip: try something light and airy for a bit of mental clarity.
