Customized Perfume/Cologne Aromatic Blend
Different chemical constituents from plants that make up what we know of as aroma all have different therapeutic benefits. This means that everything from the smell of roses to tha t strain of weed you love so much, all have different benefits because of the different terpene profiles found in them. Terpene profiles are one of the primary reasons strains of cannabis are either uplifting and stimulating or sedating and relaxing. After learning much more about the individual constituents found in essential oils in my aromatherapy class, I began wanting to make aromatherapy blends using organic cannabis-derived terpenes and customized blends of organic essential oils. Artificial fragrances can be really harmful to body and come with side effects. Perfumes and colognes are some of the most common ways people use artificial chemicals that are damaging to their bodies regularly. These fragrances are commonly trying to poorly mimic what nature already provides us with in the form of plant essential oils. But, artificial fragrances harm us, while plant oils have long lists of therapeutic benefits when used therapeutically. Knowing this, we wanted to produce ethical, healthy perfumes and colognes made entirely out of organic plant oils. Since we are releasing these for May 4th, we decided to start out with a bunch of Star War’s themed cannabis terpene profile strains as well as some of our other favorites! Since everyone will be customizing their own blends, we will begin this by listing the different cannabis terpene profile strains we offer and their chemical constituents. Following that, I will list the constituents and their primary therapeutic properties. You will create your own blend according to not just the scent you prefer, but the benefits you are seeking from your aroma blend.

If you want a stimulating blend, you will want to choose a sativa or hybrid terpene profile and blend it with other uplifting oils. If you want your aroma blend to relax and calm you, stick with the indica strains and other calming essential oils in your blend.

If you’re prone to things like anxiety, stress, depression, inflammation, etc… then look at which constituents help most with these issues and choose terpene profiles that contain these compounds. Sometimes people just want a blend that smells really great to them, and that’s fine too. Aroma is a highly subjective experience. Creating your own aromatic blend is also. We recommend 1-5 different oils in your blend. You can choose a pure cannabis terpene blend or have it mixed with different ratios of our organic essential oils. We have a long list of different oils to pick from. I can’t list all of their benefits here, but feel free to ask us questions as you make your blend!
