In an aromatherapy massage, the oil choice is half the session — yet most of what is written about oils is overblown. This guide introduces the six oils we use most, with realistic effects: which one for which feeling, and when to avoid which.
Lavender: the evening classic
The most requested oil, and it earns its fame: its calming scent visibly speeds up the unwinding in evening sessions. Planning a before-bed session? Start here.
Mint: freshness and focus
Cool and sharp, it leaves you feeling awake — the midday oil. Skip it late at night; in some guests it stretches alertness.
Eucalyptus: clear breathing
Its camphor-like scent opens the nose — loved in spring and by people working long hours in air-conditioning. The scent is strong; sensitive noses should ask for a light blend.
Chamomile: the gentlest option
Soft, sweet, soothing. The safe harbour for scent-sensitive guests and aromatherapy first-timers.
Ylang ylang: intense and exotic
Floral-sweet and distinctive. Those who love it, love it passionately; we suggest a low dose for first tries. Also the classic of romantic couples' sessions.
Orange: a cheerful opener
Citrus gently lifts the mood — a good companion for morning sessions and grey winter days.
Can't decide?
No problem — before the session we let you smell three or four oils and pick together what fits your day. Always mention skin sensitivities and allergies; every oil is diluted in a carrier. Details on our aromatherapy page.
