Elevate Your Routine with Luxury and Elegance
On July 24th, we celebrate International Self-Care Day, a perfect occasion to prioritise your well-being. The World Health Organisation describes self-care as something that "people do for themselves to establish and maintain health, and to prevent and deal with illness". This day emphasises the importance of self-care, reminding us to incorporate healthy practices into our daily routines, regardless of time, season, or circumstance.
Today, we at Floris London encourage you to embrace self-care in your daily routine, even if it’s as simple as taking a soothing bath.
“Self-care means giving yourself permission to pause.”
WAYS TO UNWIND
At Floris London, we believe in the transformative power of fragrance as a form of self-care. A thoughtfully selected scent can uplift your spirits, soothe your mind, and evoke cherished memories. Different aromas possess unique qualities that have the potential to reduce stress, soothe anxiety and promote better sleep, making aromatherapy a valuable practice for relaxation and unwinding.
Our extensive range of Bath & Body and Home Collections allows you to create a serene atmosphere in any setting. Whether indulging in a calming bath with our Stephanotis Bath Essence or enhancing your space with the tranquillity of a scented candle, Floris London provides the perfect scents to enrich your self-care routine.
CALMING SCENTS TO HELP YOU RELAX
We have compiled a selection of products for the ultimate self-care day, from calming fragrances to luxurious bath essences. Each product contains properties considered to promote a healthy mind and body including lavender, clary sage and jasmine.
FRANKINCENSE
Frankincense, sometimes referred to as olibanum, is a common type of essential oil that has been used in aromatherapy for centuries. Its woody and spicy aroma has the potential to deepen the breath and reduce feelings of anxiety alongside potential anti-inflammatory benefits.
Floris London's Vetiver entices with aromatic heart notes of cinnamon, clove and invigorating coriander blending with the earthy and smoky essence of vetiver. The warm spices contrast with the deep and long-lasting base notes of amber, soothing frankincense, rich patchouli, and comforting sweet tonka bean, creating a captivating and inviting olfactory journey.
LAVENDER
Lavender is one of the most popular scents for calming and relaxation due to the potent linalool, a fragrant alcohol found in lavender extract. Lavender is often used in sleep-aiding products and is said to improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system.
Lavender is featured in several Floris fragrances, including the iconic No.89. Orange and bergamot blended with lavender and neroli give No.89 its classical cologne aspect. Warmed with a touch of spicy nutmeg, the floral heart is underscored by the dominant woody accord of sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver. This is a quintessentially English fragrance.
NEROLI
Neroli, produced from the small white blooms of the bitter orange tree, is considered to have calming and uplifting effects due to its delicate floral scent with a hint of citrus. In addition to mental well-being, Neroli is also rich in antioxidants and is said to contribute to healthy, glowing skin.
CLARY SAGE
Clary sage is a flowering herb native to the Mediterranean and produces a sweet, musky and herbaceous scent. When used in aromatherapy, Clary sage is said to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Platinum 22 is the only Floris fragrance to include Clary sage, making it a truly original scent.
YLANG-YLANG
Ylang Ylang is full of soothing and uplifting qualities including linalool, similarly to lavender, and Geraniol, said to include benefits such as anti-septic and antioxidant.
Ylang Ylang is featured at the heart of some of our floral fragrances, including Bouquet de La Reine and Edwardian Bouquet.
ADDITIONAL SCENTS
Other scents perfect for the ultimate in self care include White Rose, Night Scented Jasmine and Sandalwood, which alongside the Sandalwood fragrance, is featured in our home collection as Sandalwood and Patchouli.
Celebrate International Self-Care Day with Floris London by prioritising yourself and discovering the joy that comes with self-care.
