Experience the Italian adage at home. Our proprietary fragrance blend featuring rose essential is designed to enhance the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to promote happiness. Serotonin modulates Alpha brainwaves and is usually present when we are daydreaming or practicing mindfulness. With its romantic and warm floral profile, Dolce Far Niente is a purposeful aroma to light while savoring the present moment. The Studies Human:Inhalation of rose essential oil has been shown to elevate feelings of relaxation and improve mood. Clinical work demonstrates rose aroma can increase parasympathetic activity and reduce heart rate, while also being associated with elevated serotonin signaling in the brain.¹ EEG studies report that floral aromatics, including rose, enhance alpha brainwave activity — the state linked with relaxed alertness.² Preclinical:Animal studies suggest rose oil constituents (e.g., citronellol, geraniol) modulate serotonergic pathways, supporting its traditional use for calm and emotional balance.³ Sandalwood oil, often paired with rose, has also been studied for its ability to engage the limbic system, with human EEG data showing increases in alpha activity consistent with meditative relaxation.⁴ The Details Olfactory Family: Warm Floral TOP: Rose MIDDLE: Sandalwood BASE: Violet For a glimmer of bliss.
