Kosmic Alchemy house brand sauna blend "Fresh" 100mL. This is a water-based aroma blend for löyly, centered on thyme, mint, and lavender, with layers of rosemary, lemon, and juniper. By adding it to the hot water poured over the sauna stones (the water in the ladle), a refreshing herbal and citrus scent spreads throughout the sauna room with the rising steam.
Löyly: A Nordic Tradition
Löyly is a Finnish word that refers to the act of pouring water over sauna stones to create steam. It is a central ritual in Nordic saunas that increases the humidity in the sauna room and deepens the sensation of heat. In Finland, it has been a beloved tradition to add conifer needles, birch branches, and more recently, essential oils to this water, enjoying the scent along with the steam. This product is a water-based blend that requires no dilution, created with this tradition in mind, so that Japanese sauna enthusiasts can easily enjoy löyly aromas.
Fragrance Profile
A light and refreshing top note, with the spicy herbal quality of thyme, the coolness of peppermint, and the soft floral scent of lavender. The crisp herbal note of rosemary, the bright citrus of lemon, and the gin-like green of juniper subtly linger in the background, creating a complex and deep "freshness" that is far from simple. The aroma that rises with the heat and steam of the sauna makes outdoor air bathing and deep breathing in the sauna room an even more luxurious experience.
How to Use
Shake the bottle well before use.
Add a few drops (5-10 drops as a guide) to the water for the sauna stones (one ladleful), mix well, and then pour over the sauna stones.
Start with a small amount the first time to check the strength of the scent.
This product is for löyly only. Do not apply directly to skin or mucous membranes. Not for consumption.
Other Sauna Blends
Please also consider the Sauna Blend Floral (a gorgeous blend centered on Damask rose) from the same series. If you wish to enjoy sauna with essential oils, we also offer the Oshadhi Synergy Blend Sauna (5mL conifer essential oil).
What's the difference from the essential oil type (4010-5)?
This product is water-based and pre-diluted with alcohol, formulated specifically for löyly, so it mixes easily with water and can be used without further dilution. Oshadhi 4010-5 is an essential oil, which, although it does not mix easily with water, can be used for a long time in small amounts and has a wider range of applications, such as with diffusers.
Can I use this in a small home sauna?
Yes, you can use it in your home dry sauna or tent sauna. If the space is small, start with 1 to 3 drops and adjust the strength of the fragrance.
Which do you recommend, this or Floral (ka0040)?
Fresh (this product) is a light and refreshing blend with notes of thyme, mint, and lavender. Floral (ka0040) is a gorgeous yet calming blend centered around damask rose. Many sauna users switch between them depending on their mood or session.
Can I use this in the facility's sauna?
Some facilities have rules regarding the use of personal aromatherapy diffusers. Please be sure to confirm with facility staff before use.
