Otoño Collection

Our otoño collection candles include lavender, geranium, cinnomon, and vanilla. Vanilla is blended with the other fragrance oils because vanilla brings a warm and calming aroma. Vanilla is very special to Artes Muertos because of it's history. Vanilla originates from Mexico and now vanilla is grown in other tropical areas such as Madagascar, Indonesia, Tahiti, and other areas. Vanilla is a hard plant to have. It requires a lot of maintanance and has to be pollinated by hand. So many detials go along with it. Which is why I rather move on to why it can be beneficial. Vanilla is great to smell to promote a calmness environement because it riches the room with a warm, comforting, and calmness scent. Vanilla can be a common scent that reminds people of good memories. Now I know, I have been surrounding vanilla too much. It's because Vanilla is a fragrance that goes well with any scent. Vanilla is so easy to mix with like I have wither geranium, lavender, and cinnamon. Cinnamon with vanilla gives the room a beautiful holiday feeling. Lavender is such a strong scent that I personally don't like it but I do like it mixed with vanilla because I feel it calms the scent of lavender. Lavender and vanilla give it a sweet and relaxing scent. Geranium is not an average rose scent. The geranium I use is more citrus with a soft rosy-floral scent. 

Is cinnamon a good scent to smell? That warm, spicy, yet sweet scent is good to smell because it gives off a holiday scent, although it is good to have year round. Cinnamon is believed to help with sadness, depression, feeling faint, and exhausted. Does this really help? Well, I can tell you I feel happy when I test this scent. It makes me feel like fall and winter are in my room and I feel content. Geranium is said to help to de-stress, help with anxiety, sadness, and fatigue. It seems to help because of the citrus scent it has. Citrus is known to help with alertness. Geranium has a citrus undertone but it is accompanied with a soft rose and floral scent. Geranium with vanilla is a wonderful scent to have together. So lavander is said to be anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. What does that mean for smell? I just know studies have shown to help with relaxation. But why? After much research, I found it is about the scent affecting the limbic system. That part of the brian helps regulate the nervous system which helps regulate emotions. I liked to use lavander to help me calm down or sleep but the scent to me is very strong. That's why I blend vanilla. I feel that vanilla helps calm down the strong scent of lavander. I feel both scents give such a beautiful scent in the room. The last candle I have is a pure vanilla candle. That is for anyone who needs something simple. These candles are perfect for year round but they give fall a special feeling.
