Why You Need a Fall Scent Restock

Fall smells like vanilla cookies, soul-filling hugs, sultry citrus and a caffeine wake up call. It’s the coziest time of the year, and the perfect moment for a self-care scent refresh. As the seasons shift, there’s something magical about transforming your home and self-care rituals with fresh, warm scents. Fall doesn’t just bring cooler air and cozy sweaters; it invites us to embrace the sensory warmth of the season. But have you ever thought about how changing your scents in the shower can do more than just refresh your skin? The right fragrance can evoke powerful emotions, help you focus, awaken energy, or soothe the soul—affecting how you feel on a deeper level. 

Scents are deeply tied to memory and emotion. Research shows that the olfactory system is directly linked to the brain's limbic system, which governs mood and memory. That’s why a whiff of vanilla can instantly remind you of a comforting home scenario — like cookies baking in the oven, or the scent of citrus can make you feel energized and ready to take on the day. When we consciously change our scents to align with the seasons, we’re not just switching up our routine—we're inviting new experiences, emotions, and even new energy into our lives.

Think of Fall as your chance to do a sensory reset. Just like decluttering your space or changing your wardrobe for fall, introducing new scents into your routine brings fresh energy for your body, skin and soul.  And, incorporating seasonal scents into your self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. Try a body wash that smells like vanilla cookies like Shea + Rice Flower to fill your space with peace and harmony, or indulge in our calming Green Tea + Cucumber + Aloe Whipped Scrub. They can transform your shower into a daily escape. Whether you're after a citrus boost, a calming respite, invigorating scrubs or sultry lather,  these seasonal fragrances work with your mood and help you stay grounded so  you can breathe in the season.
