Who doesn’t love a bit of aromatherapy? From relaxing fragrances to reviving scents, some smells have an incredible power to soothe your body and mind, whilst others can leave you feeling uplifted and energised. So, if you’ve been feeling tired, stressed or anxious lately, keep reading. I talk you through six scents that can ease those tensions and provide natural relief. Ready? Here wo go...
1. Relax With Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-ylang is a popular ingredient in aromatherapy, featuring in many candle and shower gel recipes – and it’s no surprise why. This yellow, star-shaped flower is said to help to reduce stress, rebalance your body’s energies and restore peace of mind.
If you want to enjoy the full benefits of this relaxing ingredients, why not explore Molton Brown’s Relaxing Ylang-Ylang range? Opt for their candle or aroma reeds to create a relaxing atmosphere in your house, or add a touch of luxury to your bathing ritual with their shower gel and body lotion.
2. Recharge With Black Pepper
As it turns out, black pepper isn’t just a tasty addition to your favourite dishes. It can be distilled into a warming and spicy oil that, when used in aromatherapy, helps to boost your body’s natural defenses and give your muscles time to recharge.
To enjoy all of the benefits of black pepper, as well as herby coriander and earthy vetiver, give the Molton Brown Re-Charge Black Pepper collection a try. Featuring a bath & shower gel, body lotion, body scrub bar, scented candles and more, you’re sure to find the aromatic product that suits you.
3. Find Harmony With Rose And Rhubarb
Feeling anxious? Restore a sense of calm and harmony with rose and rhubarb. The delicate combination of vivacious fruit with soft floral aromas is the harmonious blend you need to restore your sense of inner balance.
That’s why we love (and have treated all you Glossies to) the Molton Brown Delicious Rhubarb & Rose Bath & Shower Gel. Its tantalising blend is the perfect addition to a relaxing bath and an invigorating shower – it offers the best of both worlds!

4. Awaken Your Senses With Orange Bergamot
Boasting a light citrus scent with floral notes, bergamot orange’s zestiness is said to awaken and energise your spirits - perfect for those sluggish mornings when you really struggle to get out of bed!
I’d recommend using the Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot Bath & Shower Gel in your morning shower, or spritzing their Orange & Bergamot Eau de Parfum onto your skin before leaving the house. Its awakening properties will help you to start the day feeling more lively and ready to take on the world. It's amazing what a little at-home aromatherapy can do!
5. Refresh With Cypress And Fennel
Some days we all just feel a bit off, without really knowing why or what to do about it. If that’s the case, try using a cypress or fennel based product as part of a DIY aromatherapy session. Whilst fennel is known to encourage your body’s natural detox process, cypress is said to help rebalance your emotions. Breathe in a combination of the two and you could be left feeling soothed and refreshed.
Molton Brown’s Coastal Cypress & Sea Fennel range transports you to the Australian coast so you can lose yourself in the soothing waves of this refreshing fragrance. Choose between a shower gel, body lotion or eau de parfum.
6. Feel Bold And Confident With Geranium
With its sweet, uplifting floral scent, geranium is known to enhance your general sense of well-being. In some cases, it can help to enhance concentration levels, improve cognitive function and balance your emotions, so you feel more in control.
Luckily for you, Molton’s Brown Geranium Nefertum fragrance is a unique blend of minty geranium, crisp green fig leaf and warming labdanum notes. Whether you choose their bath & shower gel, eau de toilette, body lotion or deodorant, this bold, multi-faceted scent is exactly what you need to feel more confident.
