Paying tribute to the holy ghats of India, Smoking Rose features the sacred and deeply fragrant Kannauj rose, a fabled bloom that 'restores hearts that have gone and brings back withered souls'. Bathed in rich patchouli and smoky balsam of Peru, these notes were traditionally associated with mystical qualities that nurture the heart, offering protection and infinite love. Sourced globally and hand blended locally in Australia, AYU’s scented oils are made and measured with the ancient art of perfume, combined with the knowledge of balancing the mind, body and spirit. The creation of Ayu stems from extensive studies of India’s ancient and traditional systems of healing, Ayurveda, and is also grounded in the strong beliefs tied to the Vedic traditions. Ayurveda translated from Sanskrit means ‘the science of life’. Ayurveda’s main philosophies revolve around the three fundamental energies or Doshas; being Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These three energies exist within all things in balance, and are carefully considered when creating each unique Ayu blend. Ayu scents are hand-blended in a base of the finest ingredients including: Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis), Rose Damask Oil (Rosa x damanascena), Geranium (geranium), Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin), Balsam of Peru (Myroxylon), Vanilla (vanillin), Indian Gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), Wheatgerm Oil (Triticum Vulgare), Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera), Amla (Emblica Officinalis), Australian Sandalwood oil (Santalum Spicatum) *Linalool, *Geraniol, *All natural
