Sauna Scents – Aromas for a Cosy Sauna Atmosphere
Sauna scents add a selected aroma to the sauna environment and give each session a distinctive fragrant accent. Depending on personal preference, you can choose fresh citrus and mint notes, gentle lavender aromas, rich woody scents or fragrances inspired by coniferous forests.
Our range of sauna scents includes essential oils, fragrance concentrates, essences, hydrolates, aromatic gels, wood shavings and other products. Different formats make it easier to choose a suitable option according to the type of sauna, available equipment and preferred fragrance intensity.
Different Types of Sauna Scents
Products intended for scenting the sauna environment vary in composition, fragrance intensity and method of use. Before using any product, read its label and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding dosage and application.
Canadian cedar shavings have a rich woody aroma. Depending on the instructions for the specific product, the shavings may be placed in a special fabric pouch, ceramic container or another vessel suitable for sauna fragrances.
Sauna essences and fragrance concentrates are concentrated aromatic products that usually need to be diluted with water before use. The fragrance intensity can be adjusted by changing the recommended dosage.
Essential oils have an intense aroma and are therefore normally used in small quantities. As essential oils do not dissolve in water on their own, they should only be used as directed on the product label. Never pour undiluted essential oil directly onto hot sauna stones.
Hydrolates generally have a milder aroma than essential oils or concentrated essences. Their exact method of use depends on the intended purpose of the product. A hydrolate may be suitable for sauna water, an aroma bowl or another application specified by the manufacturer.
Aromatic gels offer a convenient way to add fragrance to the sauna environment. The container is usually opened and placed in a location recommended by the manufacturer, where the heat allows the aroma to disperse gradually.
Scented salt products may be used as decorative and aromatic elements in the sauna. Their installation location and method of use should be selected according to the instructions provided with the specific product.
Choosing a Sauna Scent by Fragrance Profile
Sauna scents can be selected according to the preferred fragrance profile:
-
Coniferous and woody aromas – pine, cedar, juniper or eucalyptus scents that add a distinctive forest-inspired fragrance to the sauna environment.
-
Gentle herbal and floral aromas – lavender, lemon balm, rosemary and other plant-based fragrances.

Fresh citrus aromas – lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit and blended citrus fragrances.

How Should Sauna Scents Be Used?

follow the recommended dosage;
-
never pour undiluted concentrates or essential oils directly onto hot sauna stones;
-
make sure the selected method of use complies with the sauna heater manufacturer’s instructions;
