Wellbeing starts with the little moments - and sometimes, all you need at the end of the day is a moment for you. Products containing some of the best essential oils can make your “me-time” extra special, helping you de-stress, re-charge, and feel like your best self – ready for whatever the day throws at you.
Scents that make sense
Essential oils have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal properties as well as their allure. Ancient scriptures from all over the world discuss the healing properties of plant extracts, and as the therapeutic powers of essential oils are studied in laboratories today, modern science is confirming what ancient wisdom says. A number of essential oils have been scientifically proven to help relieve headaches, improve sleep, and reduce stress and anxiety. Combinations of different oils are ideal for treating a variety of ailments, boosting the immune system, or enhancing your wellbeing and frame of mind.
NEOM Organics Essential Oils – natural fragrance with true benefits
Add some glamour and luxury to your daily routine and downtime with the new range of precious oil blends from NEOM Organics London, so you can unwind in style, create the perfect atmosphere in your home, or get that much-needed energy boost.
With our hectic lives making downtime a rare luxury, it’s time to get some expert advice. Allbeautyhq spoke to NEOM Organics London brand founder Nicola Elliott to find out her top recommended essential oil blends for every mood.
Black Pepper & Bergamot
An essential oil blend to reduce anxiety and uplift your mood, this exotic essential blend oil works hard to soothe your soul and give you a calm, content mind. Bergamot also works to boost your energy levels - this citrus fruit has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine to stimulate the flow of energy in the body and relieve tension. The warm, spicy scent of black pepper combines with the refreshing citrus of bergamot for a soothing and energy-boosting effect that will have you feeling confident and at your best.
Nicola says: “This blend is POWER in a bottle, an intense scent that I just love, and really helps you banish butterflies to feel confident and uplifted. Warm and spicy pepper with woody bergamot bring that warmth and intensity to your space and fill it with aromas that feel super special and rare. It’s so soulful, and the heat is balanced with sweet, smoky cardamom oil and 13 other oils to give the richest possible scent”.
Use it when: you want to manifest a powerful day
Just because you aren’t feeling low doesn’t mean you can’t get some vibes going! Errands, working from home, whatever deserve to be super scented just as much as any other time. So, get the confident scents on the go.
Tuberose, Cedarwood & Ylang Ylang
An essential oil blend for confidence, libido, and relaxation, Tuberose is an essential oil that reduces anxiety, boosts the libido and builds confidence.
Cedarwood is derived from various parts of conifers like pines and cypress trees. It has antibacterial properties and is known to calm the mind and help you sleep well at night, so you’ll feel well-rested and ready to take on the day.
Ylang Ylang is a small yellow flower of the Cananga tree which is native to India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and parts of Australia. Ylang Ylang essential oil is used to treat headaches, reduce inflammation and alleviate anxiety.
The delicate combination of these three scents is a match made in heaven, allowing you to de-stress and feel your best in no time at all.
For Nicola, this essential oil blend will have you “feeling like... the most luxurious and sensual you. The power of these precious blends to transport you to another place is just incredible, and this honey-sweet bouquet of scents is an instant passport to a lush, tranquil garden where you feel totally de-stressed and just YOU. It’s the ideal vibe for the coming months and I can’t wait to be enjoying long evenings with this blend in my Wellbeing Pod.”
Use it when: it’s been an especially long day.
There’s nothing like stepping into a warm, relaxing haven after a long day, and you work hard to create the perfect space with decor, colour and furnishings (and a thousand hours on Pinterest) so why not pay attention to the scent in the room too? Give it that extra de-stressing feeling with a precious blend that first and foremost hits you with irresistible scent, diffusing out perfectly balanced layers of Ylang Ylang, Tuberose and other sought-after oils.
Ylang Ylang, Vetivert & Tonka Bean
An essential oil blend for headaches, calmness, and better energy, Vetivert essential oil comes from the roots of a grass from India that can grow up to five feet tall. This essential oil is also known as the ‘oil of tranquillity’ and its sensuous, grounding, earthy fragrance lives up to its name, imparting a soothing sense of peace.
The Tonka bean comes from a large tropical tree native to Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. Its vanilla-like fragrance gently uplifts the mood and acts as a great complement to the sensuality of Ylang Ylang, and the stillness of Vetivert, in this sumptuous blend of organic essential oils.
Nicola describes the blend; “Feeling like… the most confident and decadent you. I love this blend after a heavy day - it’s rich, exotic and gives me permission to completely relax and say BYE to the day. It helps you reach that warm, contented bubble you get when you’re on holiday somewhere warm and it’s SO needed right now. Who doesn’t want that in their living room?”
Use it when: you’ve got time for yourself.
It may seem like everyone is ramping up the IRL socialising, which is brilliant news, but between work, getting out and about, kids’ social lives, gyms, and everything else (how on earth did anyone do it before?) it’s important to take time for just YOU. Not because you’re burned out, just because you need it. So, when everyone’s out, pick out a precious blend that will just make you feel like you’re making the most of that time to yourself. While they’re fun to share with the whole household, sometimes it feels great knowing that your favourite scent is just for you.
Jasmine, Bergamot & Geranium
This is an energy-boosting essential oil blend to lift your mood. Jasmine essential oil is renowned as an energy booster and has also been known to help reduce symptoms of PMS, including headaches and cramps.
Geranium essential oil is a mood enhancer, and its anti-inflammatory properties can help manage pain and soothe tired limbs. When you combine jasmine and geranium with soothing bergamot, you get a power packed blend of essential oils that are sure to boost your energy on the longest of days.
Nicola says this blend will have you feeling like “bad vibes can’t touch your bubble. That rebooted, refreshed contentment when you’re on holiday - but in a bottle. Like all of us, I’ve been missing the vacation version of myself, and this gorgeous summer breeze blend helps me find just a little bit of that secret garden feeling in my own home - the exotic florals are just present enough in the blend to feel like a gentle breeze is bringing you back to your best self.”
Use it when: you’re in a sunny day frame of mind.
There’s nothing quite like the natural energy boost from the first days of spring and summer, when the sun is FINALLY shining, and you just want to get out and about. If only that feeling could be bottled, right? Keep the sunny vibes going with this perfectly balanced blend of essential oils.
Orange Blossom & Neroli
This is an essential oil blend for better sleep, energy and uplifted spirits.
Orange blossom and neroli essential oils are both made from the delicate blooms of the bitter orange tree. The difference between them comes from how they are extracted. Orange blossom essential oil provides a slightly heavier, honeyed floral scent than Neroli. Neroli adds a lighter, herbier, note to the blend. Orange blossom and Neroli essential oils are ideal for uplifting low spirits, calming nerves and helping you get a good night’s sleep.
The freshness of this scent blend makes it perfect to make your home smell inviting, explains Nicola. “Feeling... centred and content. Sometimes I just want to create an atmosphere in my home, which feels especially luxurious and exciting as we prep to have people round again - and this super-comforting blend helps create that welcoming, relaxing vibe where you feel cocooned in a blissful bubble.”
Use it when: you’re feeling house proud.
It’s going to feel so special that first time you welcome family or friends back into your home, and will probably feel like a novelty for a while, including being in ‘hosting’ mode! But one super-easy way to treat guests (and yourself) is to have a beautiful, precious blend that will be the perfect background to your long-awaited catch ups. Just because, everyone needs a little extra right now.
Grapefruit, Mandarin & Eucalyptus
An essential oil blend for energy and focus, this powerhouse of a blend of essential oils is a must-have for days when you need that extra energy boost. In aromatherapy, grapefruit essential oil is typically used to reduce stress, enhance mood and improve circulation, leaving you feeling switched on and ready for action.
Eucalyptus essential oil is packed with health-boosting benefits, and is great for easing symptoms of allergies, colds, and other respiratory illnesses. This essential oil can also help you get a good night’s rest and wake up feeling refreshed, as it relieves congestion.
Mandarin orange essential oil is a hard-working energy booster that supports your immune system and adds a touch of sweetness to the blend.
Nicola says this essential oil blend of zesty grapefruit, enlivening mandarin & clean eucalyptus will have you “feeling like… you with a kick-start. That feeling when it’s the first sunny morning of the year, and you just feel that extra bit HELL YES. I can’t wait to have this blend diffusing in my living room, scenting the space with complex citrusy goodness that refreshes and cleans the air “
Use it when: you need to keep the energy going.
If you are planning on revitalizing your home and want to get your house smelling fresh and bright again, it’s time to set these fragrances free in your house. The combination of energising citrus and anti-microbial eucalyptus will keep you fresh, invigorated, and full of zest throughout the day.
