Why discover your archetype?
Because scent preference is deeply personal, and a blend nobody warned you has patchouli in it can ruin an otherwise perfect lavender latte of a diffuser recipe.
Knowing your archetype helps you:
- Build a signature collection rather than a random drawer.
- Skip oils you'd hate when reading blend recipes — and sub in ones you love.
- Predict what you'll enjoy before you spend $30 on a bottle.
The four archetypes
- 🌸 Floral Dreamer. You love soft, romantic, rounded scents — lavender, rose, geranium, ylang ylang, neroli. Blends you'll love: powdery, sweet, feminine.
- 🍋 Citrus Alchemist. You want bright, uplifting, wake-up-in-a-good-mood scents — lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, sweet orange, lime. Blends you'll love: fresh, lively, morning.
- 🌲 Forest Dweller. You gravitate toward grounded, woody, mossy scents — cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, pine, fir, cypress. Blends you'll love: earthy, contemplative, cabin-in-the-woods.
- 🌶️ Spice Seeker. You crave warm, complex, exotic scents — cinnamon, clove, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, patchouli. Blends you'll love: warming, autumnal, deeply layered.
