Cedar and Myrrh | August 2026
As the fierce heat of summer slowly fades away in August, we stand at the turning point of the seasons.
In this season of transition, as we move past bustling days to prepare for autumn, the night sky offers us a quiet gift. From twinkling shooting stars to a round full moon, it is a season to look up at the night sky and catch your breath for a moment.
Let go of complex thoughts and reclaim your own rhythm of breath aligned with nature through the 'Late Summer Reset' campaign. Discover four nighttime rituals designed to complete your absolute rest throughout the month.
A Light Pause in Daily Life
As the first week of August passes through the season of bustling routines, this is a small yet brilliant starting point to add a quiet punctuation mark of relief to your weary breath. To lightly open the door to August, we suggest a ritual where you can feel soft scents and warmth.
Without any elaborate preparation, the very moment you lightly glide the Aromatherapy Roller across your wrists or the back of your neck, unfamiliar noises fade away, and a secluded forest unfolds solely for you. Tucked lightly inside your bag, this small glass bottle does not linger heavily like a perfume; instead, it meets your skin's warmth and seeps into your breath in the closest, softest way possible.
As you smooth out the texture of a busy day, bring the wrists you rolled it on together and gently rub them to add warmth. Bring those hands close to your nose, take a deep breath in, and let go of tangled thoughts as you exhale slowly away from your hands. That single, serene exhale is all it takes to turn off the switch on a tiring day and gently step into the deep August ritual.
