In Ayurveda, scent isn’t just a sensory pleasure—it’s a gateway to balance, well-being and emotional harmony. Fragrance carries pranic energy, or life force, that influences the mind and nervous system. The ancient sages of India understood that certain plant essences could shift emotions, enhance meditation and even regulate the body’s natural rhythms. 

SCENT OF SHANTI was inspired by the sacred temples of Kerala, where aromatic offerings of flowers, herbs and resins fill the air. Designed to restore inner calm, this wellness oil embodies the power of Ayurvedic aromatherapy, inviting deep relaxation and emotional equilibrium. 

The Science of Aromatherapy: Why Scent Can Transform Your Mind & Body 

Aromatherapy isn’t just ancient wisdom—it’s backed by modern science. When you inhale essential oils, scent molecules travel through the olfactory system directly to the limbic brain, the control center for emotions, stress and memory. This is why a scent can instantly shift your mood, ease tension and even lower cortisol levels. Studies show that essential oils like Vetiver, Geranium and Ashwagandha have profound effects on the nervous system, helping to reduce anxiety, promote relaxation and restore balance. SCENT OF SHANTI is designed to work with your body’s natural rhythms, helping you unwind, recenter and elevate your well-being. 

The Art of Aromatic Healing: What’s Inside 

Vetiver | The Root of Grounding 

Known as the “oil of tranquility,” Vetiver helps reduce stress, quiet mental chatter, and promote deep relaxation. In Ayurveda, Vetiver roots are woven into mats, pillows and even temple walls to infuse the air with its grounding aroma, creating a space of peace and reflection. 

Geranium | The Floral Harmonizer 

Used in Ayurveda for balancing emotions and enhancing radiance, Geranium’s soft floral scent creates a sense of inner harmony. Hindu mythology associates Geranium with Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance and beauty—aligning perfectly with its ability to uplift and restore. 

Ashwagandha | The Adaptogenic Healer 

A revered Ayurvedic adaptogen, Ashwagandha supports the body's ability to adapt to stress and regulate cortisol levels. The name itself means "the strength of a horse" in Sanskrit, symbolizing its rejuvenating properties. With every breath, this sacred herb enhances resilience, emotional well-being and deep relaxation. 

Rituals of Serenity: How to Use SCENT OF SHANTI

The beauty of SCENT OF SHANTI is that it can be incorporated into simple, everyday moments. Using it as a natural perfume is perfect as its botanical blend evolves beautifully with your skin’s chemistry, creating a subtle, grounding fragrance that lingers throughout the day. When stress arises, roll it onto your pulse points and take a slow, intentional breath— its soothing aroma will ease the nervous system and restore stillness. Even applying it before meditation or yoga is a beautiful way to set the tone, I find that it deepens mindfulness and creates a sacred space for reflection. And as evening falls, let it become part of your nighttime ritual, rolling it onto your temples, wrists & neck to gently unwind the mind and prepare for restful sleep. However you choose to use it, SCENT OF SHANTI is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply & embrace serenity.  

Why SCENT OF SHANTI? The taïla Difference 

SCENT OF SHANTI is more than just an aroma—it’s a deeply personal journey. As the founder of taïla, I created this elixir with the intention of bringing a moment of peace into the everyday. The inspiration comes from my roots in Kerala, where the air is thick with the scent of Vetiver and temple flowers and where rituals are a way of life. Every drop of this oil holds that sacred stillness, a reminder that serenity isn’t something to chase—it’s something to return to.
