Summer is the season to get active. But camping, gardening, and long nights under the stars are too often invaded by pesky mosquitoes. Fortunately, some incense scents act as natural insect repellent. These helpful scents emit compounds that mosquitoes dislike, while filling the air with a refreshing aroma.
Sunny days feel good. But summer also makes homes feel hot and humid. Your house may need reshening more often to keep the air from smelling stale. Burning incense like lavender, sandalwood, jasmine, or citrus scents can freshen your home and lift your mood in the process.
Working hard in summer is exhausting. Busy days and long nights can leave you physically and mentally drained. The scent of incense brings you back to mindfulness. Soothe your senses and feel grounded again with scents that promote inner peace.
Scents help us form memories. And summer is the perfect time to create new ones. Transform your backyard into a date night destination and enjoy food, candles, and dreamy incense scents under the stars.
