Main Aromatic Composition

The richness of Gentle Baby lies in its complex combination of essential oils, which include:

• Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora): Provides a woody, sweet, and slightly floral note that helps soothe and enrich the aromatic profile of the blend, promoting a sense of peace.
• Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile): Its sweet, herbaceous, and fruity aroma is famous for its extremely relaxing and comforting qualities, making it ideal for moments of serenity.
• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): An aromatherapy classic, lavender is appreciated for its floral, fresh, and sweet aroma that promotes relaxation and rest.
• Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii): With a floral and rosy aroma, similar to geranium but with its own nuances.
• Lemon (Citrus limon): Its fresh, uplifting citrus note adds a touch of joy and clarity, balancing the floral and woody notes.
• Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata): Known for its exotic, sweet, and narcotic aroma, ylang ylang is valued for its ability to create an atmosphere of deep calm and reduce feelings of tension.
• Jasmine (Jasminum officinale): A precious oil with an intensely floral, sweet, and exotic aroma, traditionally used to inspire feelings of love and optimism.
• Rose (Rosa damascena): Rose oil, with its supremely floral and romantic aroma, is one of the most revered in aromatherapy for its comforting and uplifting qualities.
