7 Best Aromatherapy Scents and Their Benefits

Have you ever noticed how a certain scent can instantly change your mood? That’s not just a nice surprise—it’s the power of aromatherapy at work.

Aromatherapy uses natural plant-based scents to support your emotional and mental well-being. And it’s not just about essential oils in a diffuser. Your air + fabric spray, candle, or even car freshener can carry those same benefits—especially when every ingredient is 100% plant-based, like ours.

This guide walks you through 7 of the most popular aromatherapy scents, what they’re known for, and how to use them in your everyday life.
