Element-Inspired Fragrances

'Elementals' Fuse the Theory of Five Elements and Aromatherapy

— January 20, 2019 — Fashion
Fragrances are often identified by their grounding woodsy notes or their light and airy qualities but the element-inspired scents from Essence of Chi offer an entirely different approach based on the ancient Theory of Five Elements, aromatherapy and a careful balance of yin and yang.

Naturally, each of the 'Elementals' is based on one of the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Earth or Fire—which form the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine and are believed to be deeply connected to certain emotions and organs within the body. With these element-inspired fragrances, consumers are able to support themselves in rebalancing their Qi, or vital life energy.

These products are handcrafted in France and boast up to 25% natural essential oils that are blended with organic beetroot alcohol.
