Elenatura children's fragrances
Most people in this day and age can surround themselves with smells that are pleasant to them. Some of the most popular scents are freshly mown grass, freshly ground coffee, roasted almonds, roasted garlic, grilled sausage, the air after a short summer rain or a breeze of sea air.
In Britain in the 1950s, a number of elderly men and women were interviewed who could still remember the time under Queen Victoria. Despite the very different life stories, they all agreed on one thing: it stank. By the middle of the 19th century, 2.5 million people were already living in London. The contents of their toilets and rubbish bins for the most part ended up in the Thames. Especially in warm weather, the smell became unbearable. The hot summer of 1858 even went down in history as "the Big Stink". Afterwards, the construction of an extensive sewage system was started, which is still in operation today. But the air was also of poor quality. The black smoke of countless coal stoves smouldered from the chimneys of factories and apartment buildings. The smog was often so thick that the coachmen only dared to move forward at walking pace.
The dramatic pollution was a side effect of industrialisation that most people could not escape. However, this did not lead them to get used to the stench. On the contrary. Especially in the interpersonal sphere, it was already important to not give offence with one's body odour. In the mid-19th century, some contemporaries started to divide the population into "washed" and "unwashed". The penetratingly pungent smell of Victorian soap was even associated by many with social advancement. A new process for the artificial production of soda made soap a mass product in the 1860s. This soap was used to wash not only the body, but also clothes and home textiles. The new cleanliness had the positive side effect that it also smelled more pleasant in one's own four walls. This in turn led to people being able to enjoy their evening at home more. This has not changed to this day.
Whether we feel good is strongly influenced by smells. Since our sense of smell is directly connected to the limbic system, smells hit our subconscious directly and without pre- warning. Even if we hardly notice the scent, it can immediately trigger emotions or revive long-forgotten memories. This is why fragrance blends are so effective. We remember beautiful experiences particularly well when they are associated with a fragrance. Elenatura has selected essential oils with low concentrations to suit the needs of little ones. With Elenatura's fragrance companions, children can make their first experiences with scents and associate carefree laughter, fun and joy with favourite scents.
