Farida's Top 5 Tips on How to Incorporate Scent into your Spa or Salon

1. First impressions usually last the longest. Leading spas and hotels in the world spend time and money investing in unique signature aromas for vaporising, creating scents that invoke their clients as soon as they walk in.

2. The human nose is a powerful tool in assessing what the body needs and desires. Involve the client in choosing different products through the sense of smell, therefore pure, high quality aromatic products are essential to facilitate this process.

3. Touch and smell combined allow these powerful blends and oils to infiltrate the skin through massage, soaks, compresses and scrubs, breaking down any barriers and allowing one to melt into a relaxed state.

4. Mists are a powerful tool to further incorporate the sense of smell at another level. Mists allow you to cleanse the atmosphere as well as enhance treatments, by providing clarity and focus through the aromas and the freshness of the spray.

5. The focus for a lot of spas these days are complicated beauty and skincare products but a simple aromatic blend, enables the spa to provide their customers with a wonderful and therapeutic spa experience, leaving the aroma wafting over the skin throughout the day, soothing and uplifting one’s senses.
