Salvatore Battaglia | Kotodama of Scent

Kotodama of Scent: 28 beautiful Japanese words and essential oils to nourish our soul Whether you are an aromatherapist or simply curious about the profound interplay between word and scent, allow this book to open a door to a new dimension of self-care. Here language is not merely spoken, but inhaled. Aromas are not just fleeting sensations, but evoke a timeless wisdom. Together, they offer a path of nourishment and a deeper connection to the beauty within and around us. Japanese culture has always held a deep reverence for the power of language - the kotodama, the spirit that lives within each word. In this book, we embark on a journey where words and scent intertwine. We explore 28 carefully chosen Japanese words - words that evoke beauty, resilience, tranquillity and mindfulness - and pair them with essential oils whose fragrant whispers echo their profound forest, the serene calm of a field of lavender flowers, or the spiritual awakening that follows with the scent of a beautiful sandalwood incense. These are moments where scent touches our soul, where its kotodama awakens something within us. With this book as your guide, you will discover how to harness the power intentionally.
