112. Grounding Perfumes for Stress Relief | Nectar Atelier

👋 Hi fragrance friend,

Stress can make us feel overwhelmed and shut down in ways we don't always notice right away. It can make the world feel smaller, the senses muted, the body less available to us. In those moments, anything that gently reconnects us to ourselves: a breath, a texture, a scent — can help reopen what stress constricts.

Scent can be part of this noticing and grounding of our being. It can become an anchor, a way of staying close to the body, of recognizing when something moves inside and when a bit more space in the heart opens.

There are stretches of time when the inner landscape shifts in small, almost imperceptible ways. A fuller breath, a little more room to feel, a sense that something inside is finding a new rhythm or a new expression. I've been noticing those subtle changes in the wake of change with fragrances that meet us in that space of possibility: the elegant vanilla of Spiritueuse Double Vanille, the warm, resinous glow of Amouage Existence, the comforting cacao of Gourmand Coquin.

If you're moving through a time of subtle shifts, I hope you find a fragrance that stays with you in a way that feels comforting and lets the day move with a touch more ease.

🕊 With kindness,
Flor at Nectar Atelier
