Spa Serenity

Soft, clean and herbal — the scent vocabulary of a really good spa. Designed to lower the shoulders and slow the breath.

Run a bath, line up these candles along the edge, and let eucalyptus and lavender do what they have done for centuries. There is real science under the ritual: slow, scented breathing nudges the parasympathetic nervous system toward "rest and digest." Mostly, though, it just feels wonderful.

The ritual

• Keep flames well away from water and towels.
• Layer a tealight or two for flicker at eye level.
• Add a few drops of the matching note to a warm cloth for the face.
