All your senses can be totally satisfied with the Jacuzzi experience. Smell in particular is related to aromatherapy, derived from the scientific study of herbs and influenced by ancient techniques of treating the body with aromatic oils and fragrances which scents have a positive influence on both the body and mind. The first to study this was Teofrasio, a student of Plato and Pliny the Elder in the treaty “Naturalis Historiae”. Official science, however, began to speak about aromatherapy only at the beginning of the 20th century. The term was coined in 1928 by Renè Maurice Gattefosser, a research pharmacist in the perfume industry. There are many essences which, through relaxing sensorial emotions, help us to find a better balance between ourselves and the surrounding world. Lavender, for example, stimulates relaxation, cheerfulness and a good night sleep – there’s nothing better is there! Rosemary sharpens attention, mint awakens and invigorates, rose brings calm and balance, tuberose accentuates sensuality, citronella encourages concentration and incense gently calms you.
With so much choice, you could have a scent for every mood. What’s your favourite scent?
