I have recently discovered a new line of perfumes and candles that I’m so excited to share with you from The Harmonist. The philosophy behind these scents is fascinating and life enhancing!

WITH HARMONY AND WELL BEING AS GUIDING PRINCIPLES, THE HARMONIST HAS FUSED THE POWER OF SCENTS WITH AGE-OLD PRINCIPLES TO CREATE ITS DEBUT COLLECTION OF FRAGRANCES.

“The Harmonist’s fragrances are composed with the rarest and most precious natural ingredients from all over the world, harnessing the purest energy levels to create true signature scents. An innate respect for the environment inspired The Harmonist to utilize recyclable materials at every possible touchpoint, from its perfume bottles and deluxe packaging to its vegetal wax candles.”

THE HARMONIST FIRST COLLECTION IS INSPIRED BY CENTURIES OF ASIAN PHILOSOPHY.

The five elements, including wood, fire, earth, water and metal are regarded as the building blocks of all natural phenomena. Interconnected yet opposing, they enhance and diminish each other. Wood feeds fire, but it also parts Earth.

Known as the Wuxing, these elements have been used to interpret everything from the cosmos to our internal bodies for centuries. They were also the inspiration behind The Harmonist’s collection of ten signatures scents. There is a corresponding scent or scents for each of the elements.

It’s interesting to know that Wuxing is a fivefold conceptual scheme used to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs,

Each of us possess all five elements within us, but we are guided by a particular element, which is determined by the date, time and location of our birth, as well as our gender.

This candle is described as “a seductive fragrance that nurtures the wearer like a gentle flame. The mellow sensuality of Madagascan vanilla and Benzoin is enriched by the subtle notes Bulgarian rose, Indonesian patchouli and pimento berries harvested under the Jamaican sun. Warm and glowing, it’s an enchanting Yin scent that revives and restores.” I love this scent and it’s perfect for me which I also find very interesting…

The Harmonist began as an idea to bring balance through scent. Fragrances that encourage wearers to turn their attention inward, to trust their senses, and to become in tune with themselves and their surroundings. The Harmonist fragrances were carefully crafted through an evolving conversation between founder, Lola Tillyaeva, and internationally-regarded perfumer Guillaume Flavigny.

The Harmonist scents find harmony in difference. They are the product of opposing forces, spiritual and sensual, dark and light, old and new. Made from ethically-sourced ingredients, they seek to enlighten the wearer, revealing and enhancing who they truly are, rather than who they pretend to be.

After discovering my element was Yin Fire, I read that it was described as “mysterious, an attribute that makes it very appealing! The concept of a scent being a true element that can provide balance in our lives is intriguing to me.
