Summer’s here — and it’s not just about sunshine. It’s your cue to reset, smell the roses (and the lavender), and feel good from the inside out.
Summer 2025 is shaping up to be the season of intentional scent experiences. From mood-boosting body care to travel-ready aromatherapy, fragrance is taking centre stage not just as a beauty choice, but as a powerful tool for wellness. Whether you’re looking for an herbal focus balm to sharpen your clarity or a relaxation balm for recovery, aromatherapy is your go-to self-care companion.
At Scentered, this is exactly what we’re made for — intentional, portable, mood-boosting aromatherapy that fits seamlessly into your everyday routine. For us, scent isn’t just fragrance — it’s a daily self-care ritual for feeling calm, grounded, and centred.
✨ What’s Trending in 2025:
• Mood-enhancing fragrances that support emotional well-being
• Sophisticated rich scents with warm, indulgent vibes
• Citrus notes rising in popularity for their clean, vibrant energy
• Fresh florals with a twist — think rose with depth and edge
• A return to classic, clean notes that feel timeless and grounding
Here are the top summer scent trends and how our natural aromatherapy products help you tap into each one, mindfully.
1. The Summer Mood
Gourmand scents are trending hard this year, but 2025’s take is more refined — made to feel skin-close and effortless.
Try: Escape Aromatherapy Balm or Aromatherapy Candle – a warm, comforting blend featuring rich oud, smoky frankincense, and creamy sandalwood. These luxurious, grounding notes create a sophisticated gourmand vibe that feels indulgent without being sweet. The perfect calming balm for unwinding at the end of the day.
2. Green and Grounded
With the rise of nature-based healing and encouraging more time spent outdoors, citrus and herbal notes are having a moment. These scents offer a vibrant way to reconnect with nature and calm the nervous system after a screen-heavy day.
Try: De-stress Balm – a soothing stress relief balm with chamomile, neroli, and mandarin that brings gentle focus and clarity.
3. Sunshine in a Scent
Functional fragrance is on the rise — scents that don’t just smell good, but actually lift your mood. Bright, citrusy blends are ideal for summer with their energising and joy-boosting effects.
Try: Happy Balm – packed with grapefruit, lemon myrtle, and spearmint, this feel-good blend is like a sunny day in stick form. It’s your go-to relaxation balm for recovery after long summer adventures.
4. Scent for the Heart
This summer, connection is everything — and scent can set the tone. Layered, grounding blends help you slow down and open up. Think soft florals and earthy woods that invite emotional warmth and self-love.
Try: Love Balm – a warm, heart-opening floral that wraps you in comfort. With notes of rose, patchouli, and cedarwood, this soothing, sensual blend is the ultimate love wellness balm — crafted to nurture body and mind.
5. Focus and Clarity
When summer gets busy and your mind feels scattered, refreshing, uplifting scents can help you zero in and stay present.
Try: Focus Balm – a clean, energising herbal focus balm with mint, rosemary, and clary sage to promote mental clarity and calm attention.
6. Sleep Like It’s Vacation Every Night
Longer days and late nights can disrupt sleep routines. A calming scent ritual is one of the easiest ways to signal to your brain that it’s time to unwind.
Try: Sleep Well Balm – infused with lavender, ylang ylang, and palmarosa, this soothing sleep relaxation balm helps you wind down gently.

Try: Daily Ritual Collection – a curated set of travel-size balms designed to guide you through the emotional arc of the day. From morning clarity and midday calm to joyful moments, mental resets, restful evenings, and heart-centred connection, each balm is a pocket-sized pause that helps you stay centred, no matter where life takes you.
