How long has it been since you last connected with nature? The saying ‘people should stay where there’s no ceiling’ has brought the trend of camping from spring to summer.
The popularity of camping is foreseeable; the fast-paced life and the unfavorable environment make it hard to breathe. People need to escape the city and return to the mountains and fields for a brief relaxation. And in the current situation where the pandemic is becoming normalized, outdoor activities are restricted, and long-distance travel consumes time and money. Camping within a radius of a hundred miles from the city is indeed a new way for us to feel nature and listen to the whispers of the wind.
The essence of camping lies in immersing oneself in the wilderness. Perhaps it’s staring at a fish you don’t recognize; perhaps it’s gazing at the brilliant starry sky in the wilderness; perhaps it’s the morning bird chirps; or perhaps it’s just setting up a tent on the park lawn, having a simple picnic. But who cares? What we care about is being able to immerse ourselves in nature and feel the breath of life.
What we care about is inviting three to five friends on weekends to set up camping gear according to our aesthetics and interests; it’s completing a primitive cooking session against the backdrop of the sunset, drinking and chatting under the stars, and having a relaxing social interaction; it’s the brief healing brought by building an ideal life…
Camping is great in many ways, but there are two downsides: being greatly affected by natural factors, sudden summer rainstorms, strong winds, mosquito bites, etc., and too many people at the camping site!
Today, I want to talk about how to achieve ‘camping freedom’ through perfume, allowing you to ‘camp in the clouds’ anytime, anywhere.
Smell is one of the carriers of memory. The forests, wilderness, starry skies, grasslands, beaches, and streams you have experienced are all sealed in your mind through scent. Just need to open the scent switch, and you can vividly present them.
The essential conditions for perfumes that can bring us camping experience are to have the atmosphere of nature, with fresh, pure, and vibrant fragrances.
What’s the scent elements can create a natural feeling very well:
- Green leaves: grass, various green leaves, plant stems, moss, etc.
- Herbal: mint, basil, rosemary, etc.
- Citrus: lemon verbena, orange blossom oil, bitter orange, etc.
- Others: wild berries, wild berries, aquatic elements, etc.
