Forest bathing without ever leaving the house.
There are proven health benefits to time spent outdoors—lower cortisol levels, less risk of disease and hospitalization, and better pain management. But where there is a tangible benefit, there is also a woo-woo way to get there. The term “forest bathing,” letting yourself literally soak in nature, is all about absorbing its sights and sounds and smells. It’s wellness-coded but it’s also been done since the beginning of time. Even being surrounded by images of trees or water or wildlife can be calming, and so can being enveloped in its smells. Inhale, settle in, and talk a walk on the inside.
Susanne Kaufmann, Mountain Pine Bath Oil
The warmth of your skin and the temperatures outside intensify the smell of many perfumes, including this creamy, ripe fig rounded out with coconut and dry, blond woods.
Evermore, Grove Earth + Aged Pine Candle
It’s impossible not to inhale the scent of wild, heady jasmine deepened by clove, tobacco and musk.
Byredo, Gypsy Water Body Lotion
IT’s like the scent of a blazing sun touching the sand when the clock strikes noon. This smells like a vibrant heat that becomes stronger as saffron, sandalwood and incense sink into your sink.
D.S. + Durga, Bowmakers Eau de Parfum
Notes of peach, bergamot, wild orchid, crisp linen, and sequoia wood — a fresh start to the season.
L’Objet, Bois Sauage Eau de Parfum
A fragrance based on the exhilarating connection of people when senses are heightened and the world comes alive. Made to inspire you to live for the moment and let yourself go.
