Garden Smelling Guide 🌸
This guide was created to accompany The Zodiac Garden Discovery Set.
Here's how to use it:
- Smell each oil slowly: take your time with each bloom to notice its unique mood and character.
- Read the descriptions: use them as gentle pointers to identify key scent notes and emotional tones.
- Play the musical pairings: let each classical piece deepen your sensory impression of the flower.
- Experiment and layer: wear oils solo or combine them to create your own signature floral expression.
Let your nose lead you into the garden and your imagination do the rest.
