Olfactory Mixology and the Benefits of Aromatherapy
Each Farwilde candle contains a unique, original blend of carefully resourced, plant-derived essential oils. These blends, or “recipes,” have been honed to maximize the olfactory experience, each and every time the candle burns.
Additionally, all of our fragrances have been crafted with the principles of aromatherapy in mind. Careful research into the potential benefits of certain oils, guides our process of pairing and mixing oils as we develop each signature fragrance.
Some of the oils found in various Farwilde fragrances, may provide the following benefits:
Lavender – elicits or enhances rest, relaxation, tension-release (candles #25, #83)
