For centuries, the Finnish sauna has been a place of cleansing, renewal, and connection. But beyond heat and steam, there is another layer that deepens the ritual: scent.
The aromas released in the sauna are not just about fragrance – they influence how we feel, how we breathe, and how we connect with the moment. Pine, birch, menthol, eucalyptus: each carries its own story, rooted in nature and tradition.
-
Birch: fresh and green, reminding us of midsummer leaves.
-
Eucalyptus: cooling, clearing, perfect for opening the breath.
-
Menthol: sharp, invigorating, creating a crisp freshness in the heat.
Adding a sauna scent is like painting with invisible colors. It transforms an ordinary steam into something memorable and sensory, an atmosphere that lingers even after the sauna is over.
At sauna/ing, our sauna scents are crafted to complement the heat, designed to be dropped into the löyly water or used as part of your wider sauna ritual. They are not perfumes, they are natural companions to the timeless act of bathing in warmth and steam.
Ritual tip: Next time, choose your scent according to your mood. Want to relax deeply? Go with pine or lavender. Want to awaken your senses? Try menthol or eucalyptus. Let the sauna become your personal sanctuary of fragrance.
