Botanical Origin and Unmatched Purity

Detailed Composition of Essential Oils

• Frankincense (Boswellia carterii): Obtained from the resin of the frankincense tree, it is valued for its deep and meditative aroma, traditionally associated with calm and spirituality.


• Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata): With its exotic and floral fragrance, ylang ylang is known for its relaxing qualities and may help reduce feelings of stress.


• Ocotea (Ocotea quixos): A less common oil, with a warm, slightly spicy aroma that contributes to the complexity and uniqueness of the blend.


• Basil (Ocimum basilicum): Its fresh, herbaceous aroma is invigorating and is associated with supporting concentration and reducing mental fatigue.


• Lime (Citrus aurantifolia): The bright, citrusy touch of lime brings a feeling of freshness and energy, uplifting the mood.


• Peppermint (Mentha piperita): Known for its stimulating aroma and sensation, peppermint is a popular choice for promoting concentration and clarity.


• Rue (Ruta graveolens): With a strong, herbaceous aroma, it is used in perfumery and for its distinctive aromatic properties that add a complex earthy note.

Aromatic Profile: A Symphony for the Senses

The aromatic profile of Common Sense is an intriguing blend of fresh, citrusy, floral, and earthy notes. At first, the cheerful and stimulating notes of lime and peppermint are perceived, giving way to the spicy warmth of ocotea and basil. Ylang ylang adds a floral sweetness, while frankincense and rue anchor the fragrance with their deep, resinous undertones. The result is a balanced and sophisticated aroma that may help evoke a sense of harmony and focus.
