Scents and SensibilityEveryday we use our sense of smell to help evoke particular moods. Surrounding ourselves with pleasant scents can actually improve one's overall well-being. For example starting the day with a fresh scented shampoo or enjoying a romantic dinner with a lit candle.
At Cielo Spa Boutique, Santa Barbara's Day Spa and retreat for Busy Moms - we find ourselves obsessed with the Votivo "Red Currant" Candle. The Red Currant is the most popular scent offered by the candle company. It has hints of glazed fruit, sugar cookies, tart red currants and is topped off with a vanilla bean ice cream fragrance.
In France, vanilla is used to make perfume straight from the vanilla pod. Many women wear vanilla-scented perfumes simply because they love the smell, not just to attract men. Research has shown a positive response in brain chemistry lending a feeling of calm when scents like vanilla are added to one's body lotion, perfume or aromatic candle.
Votivo means "to express a vow, wish, or desire." It is our wish at Cielo Day Spa that you find happiness in whatever you do and take time to stop and smell the candles!
