A fresh, energizing aroma! The combination of cloves, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary is perfect for protecting against viruses in winter. Two drops in 100 ml of water in the diffuser are enough to stimulate the immune system and good mood :)
The scent of frankincense is definitely calming and can really lift your spirits. It's also great for colds. Marshmallow oils are wonderful; they're fantastic to have and use for a variety of purposes. I'm really glad I learned about the many benefits of essential oils!
A very aromatic essential oil, the feeling on the skin is very pleasant when used mixed with a base oil (I currently use camellia or evening primrose, both from Alteya Organics) and I can already see a good effect even after a short use.
I love the scent! Great benefits for the face, I will definitely order again
