August is a funny month. It’s still cold enough that you’re clutching your morning coffee like it’s your best mate, but there’s also that tiny hint of Spring in the air. The days are a fraction longer, the sun feels a bit friendlier, and suddenly you start thinking about packing away the heavy coats (even though you’ll probably need them again tomorrow).
Winter has it charms – cosy nights, comfort food, and excuses to stay in – but it can also leave you feeling a little flat. Dry skin, low energy, and a touch of the winter blues can sneak in. That’s when fragrance can help make a difference. The right season can reset your mood faster than you can say, “Why is my heater bill so high?”.
WHY FRAGRANCE MATTERS WHEN SEASON CHANGE
Fragrance isn’t just about smelling nice, it’s about how it makes you feel. Think of the ocean breeze that clears your head or the smell of fresh coffee that convinces you to be a functioning human. As the season shifts, the scents you choose can help:
· Wake up when you’d rather hibernate
- · Calm the chaos when you to-do list is out of control
- · Give you the quiet confidence, even if you’re winging it
Winter Scents: Comfort for Your Soul
In Winter, we naturally reach for fragrances that feel like a hug in a bottle – woody, spicy, and al little floral. They’re grounding, warm, and cosy.
Our Life Story™ Eau de Parfum hits that sweet spot. It’s citrusy enough to feel fresh, layered with spices and woods that feel like wrapping yourself in your favourite blanket. Basically, it’s the fragrance equivalent of Netflix and a doona.
Winter fragrance tips: look for warm woods, soft spices, subtle floral to lift your mood and help comfort your senses.
Spring Scents: A Fresh Start
By Spring, we crave lighter, brighter fragrances – the ones that feel like opening the windows after months of liberation. Citrus, eucalyptus, and airy florals act as a seasonal reset for your mind and body.
- Calm body mist – can help clear mental clutter so you can focus.
- · Confidence body mist – can help energise and gives you that “I’ve got this” vibe.
