How to choose the best sauna scent for your sauna?

Sauna scents can create a pleasant atmosphere in the sauna and significantly enhance the sauna experience. Choosing the right sauna scent depends on your own preferences, the purpose of using the sauna, and the effect you want the sauna scent to have on your mood. In this guide, we will go over how to choose the right sauna scent for you.

1. Consider the desired mood and effect

Sauna scents affect both the body and the mind. Here are a few popular options and their effects to help you find a good sauna scent that is right for you:

  • Fresh and refreshing sauna scents – For example, menthol, eucalyptus and peppermint open the airways and refresh the feeling.

  • Relaxing and calming scents – Lavender, chamomile and sandalwood help you relax and relieve stress.

  • Natural and forest scents – Pine, spruce, birch and tar wood bring the traditional Finnish forest atmosphere to the sauna.

  • Fruity and sweet scents – Citrus, vanilla, and coconut create a more exotic feel and can uplift the mood.

2. Choose the right sauna scent shape

Sauna scents are available in several different forms. The choice depends on comfort of use and desired intensity.

  • Liquid sauna fragrances – The most common form, added directly to the sauna water. Easy to dispense and available in many different options.

  • Essential oils – A natural and powerful option that only requires a few drops in your sauna water.

  • Sauna Menthol crystals – A very effective way to freshen the sauna air, especially the respiratory tract-opening effect.

  • Sauna fragrance balls and tablets – New innovations that release long-lasting fragrance in the sauna.

  • Natural materials – Fresh birch branches, juniper berries, and spruce cones provide a natural scent without artificial substances.

3. Consider the size of the sauna and the strength of the scent

The size and ventilation of the sauna affect the spread of the sauna scent. In a small sauna, strong scents such as menthol or eucalyptus can be intense, so it is worth being careful when dosing. In a larger sauna, on the other hand, you can use a slightly more generous amount of sauna scent.

4. Test and combine different scents

If you can't decide, try different sauna scent combinations. For example, lemon and rosemary create a fresh yet warming atmosphere. Pine and tar wood combined create an authentic traditional Finnish sauna atmosphere.

5. Choose a high-quality and safe fragrance

When choosing a sauna scent, choose high-quality, natural options. Check that the product is specifically intended for sauna use, as not all fragrance oils are suitable for hot conditions. It is also worth considering allergies and sensitivities, especially if there are family members or guests in the sauna. The right sauna scent can be found by experimenting.

Summary

The best sauna scent depends on what kind of sauna experience you are looking for. Gentle lavender and chamomile are suitable for relaxation, while menthol or citrus fruits bring freshness. The size of the sauna, ventilation and the dosage of the sauna scent should be taken into account to ensure a pleasant and balanced sauna experience. By trying different options, you will find the sauna scent that suits you!
