Meeting Cleansing (HSP)
I first encountered Linde's aromas at the end of last summer.
At the time, my heightened sensitivity was stronger than it had ever been, and I was continuously affected, day after day, by other people's situations and moods around me.
I remember quietly confiding to a friend, at one point, that I wished I could just disappear.
Completely worn out, I arrived in the Netherlands at just the right moment,
and spent my days walking in nature and facing myself, one day after another.
An Encounter That Felt Like Chance, and Also Inevitable
One day, I happened to stop by an organic supermarket I used to visit often.
Since my sense of smell is especially sharp, I usually lived a life with little to do with aromas,
but before I knew it, I had given a Linde aroma tester one spritz.
Cleansing (HSP)
I remember that moment vividly, even now.
A jolt strong enough to root me to the spot.
The state of mind I'd felt powerless to fix on my own seemed to quietly settle, all at once.
That Was Where It All Began
"What on earth is this?"
The moment I got home, I started researching De Groene Linde with total absorption.
Still carrying that same energy, before I knew it, I had sent Linde a message.
That's how FUUKA began.
This aroma is, for me, truly the starting point of it all.
But recently, even with this scent that means so much to me, there was a moment I suddenly felt "I don't want this."
Do I Really Still Want to "Cleanse"?
The thought that crossed my mind in that moment was—
"Wait, do I still need more 'cleansing' than this?" (lol)
As I've written in an earlier blog post, my birthday used to carry a bit of trauma for me.
So this year, wanting to actually enjoy my birthday, I set off on an 800km road trip.
It was so free, so fun, the best birthday I've had.
Somewhere in that trip, I found myself feeling "I don't want the Cleansing scent."
It surprised me a little, but the message that came to mind in that moment was, "You just don't need it right now, do you?"
I thought, fair enough.
And Now, I Love It Again
And now that I'm back in everyday life,
this scent feels wonderful to me again.
Linde's aromas are, in this way, a product that reflects your current state of mind.
Some days you're drawn to a scent, and other days you want to push it away.
But I think that, too, is a message in itself.
If this piqued your curiosity, we hope you'll give it a try.
It just might sit gently alongside your own heart.
