Magnesium Cream, Lotion and Spray Scent Guide – Find Your Perfect Match

You can't smell a website.

So instead of handing you a list of ingredients and hoping for the best, we've written down what each blend actually feels like — the room it puts you in, the time of day it belongs to, the mood it meets you in.

Every scent below comes in our magnesium cream, lotion, or spray. Find the feeling first; pick the format after.

Serenity Magnesium Cream jar with a teal mandala label

Serenity

The last hour of a long day.

  • Soft
  • Woody
  • Quiet

Imagine a room where someone has just turned the lamps down. There's a hush to this one — lavender, but not the sharp, soapy kind; it's rounded out by cedarwood, which smells the way old wood furniture feels, and frankincense, which adds a faint resinous depth like incense a long way off. It doesn't announce itself. It settles.

Feels like
A dim room, clean sheets, nowhere else to be
Reach for it
At night, when you want the day to be over
Strength
Gentle — stays close to the skin
Made with
Lavender, cedarwood and frankincense essential oils
Harmony Magnesium Cream jar with a purple mandala label

Harmony

Shoulders coming down from your ears.

  • Floral
  • Gentle
  • Sweet

Softer and more floral than Serenity, and a little sweeter. Lavender again, but here it's lifted by ylang ylang — a creamy, almost banana-and-jasmine kind of flower that reads as lush rather than perfumey. If Serenity is a dark room, Harmony is late afternoon light through a curtain. It's the one to pick if lavender alone has ever struck you as too austere.

Feels like
Exhaling on purpose for the first time all day
Reach for it
Evenings that were more than you bargained for
Strength
Medium — noticeable, never loud
Made with
Lavender and ylang ylang essential oils
Enchanted Magnesium Lotion bottles with pink mandala labels

Enchanted

The one people stop and ask about.

  • Rich
  • Warm
  • Spiced

This is the boldest thing we make. Jasmine and tuberose are big, heady, unmistakably floral — the kind of flowers you smell from across a garden — and underneath them sit vanilla, clove and cinnamon, which pull the whole thing warm and a little edible. It's closer to a perfume than a body product. If you like florals, you'll love it. If florals usually feel like too much, start somewhere else.

Feels like
Getting dressed up with nowhere to be
Reach for it
When you want to feel like the main character
Strength
Bold — people will notice
Made with
A soft floral essential oil blend — jasmine, tuberose, vanilla, clove and cinnamon
Revive Magnesium Cream jar with a green mandala label

Revive

A cold towel on the back of your neck.

  • Cool
  • Sharp
  • Awake

The only one of ours that you feel as much as smell. Peppermint and eucalyptus give it that clean, almost cold sensation — the sinuses-open, chest-rub feeling — while rosemary adds a green, herbal snap and turmeric grounds it with something warmer and earthier underneath. Bracing rather than cozy. This is the opposite end of the shelf from Serenity.

Feels like
Stepping outside into cold air after a hot room
Reach for it
After a workout, a long drive, or a day on your feet
Strength
Strong — and cooling on the skin
Made with
Peppermint, rosemary, turmeric and eucalyptus essential oils
Bliss Magnesium Lotion bottles with orange mandala labels

Bliss

Sunlight through a kitchen window.

  • Bright
  • Sweet
  • Sunny

Orange peel and warm vanilla — think of the moment someone peels a clementine in a room, that bright citrus lift, landing on something soft and sweet like the tail end of baking. It's the most cheerful thing on this page, and the least tied to a time of day. Where the others are about winding down, this one is about lifting up.

Feels like
A good morning, or a second wind at three in the afternoon
Reach for it
Anytime you want a lift rather than a landing
Strength
Medium — bright up front, soft after
Made with
Orange essential oil and a warm vanilla fragrance oil
Cedar Rum Magnesium Cream in an amber glass jar

Cedar Rum

An old barbershop, in the best way.

  • Warm
  • Woody
  • Spiced

Dry cedar wood with a dark, boozy sweetness running through it and a pinch of spice on top. It smells the way a leather chair and a wooden shelf smell together — grounding, a bit old-fashioned, comfortable. It gets called a men's scent and it does sell that way, but plenty of people buy it for themselves and then find their partner has quietly claimed it.

Feels like
A heavy coat, a low room, the end of the evening
Reach for it
Cold nights, or when florals aren't your thing at all
Strength
Medium-bold — warm and lingering
Made with
A cedar rum fragrance oil — cedarwood, bay rum and light spice
Zen unscented Magnesium Cream jar with a light grey mandala label

Zen

Nothing at all, on purpose.

  • Unscented
  • Clean
  • Neutral

No essential oils, no fragrance oil, nothing added. What you get is the faint, honest smell of the ingredients themselves — a trace of shea butter and not much else — which fades within a minute. We made it for people with sensitive skin, for anyone who gets a headache from scented products, for babies, and for people who already wear a perfume they love and don't want a second opinion from their lotion.

Feels like
Clean skin, and nothing competing with it
Reach for it
Sensitive skin, scent sensitivity, or layering under perfume
Strength
None
Made with
No added fragrance of any kind

Narrowing it down

If you want to be carried off to sleep, start with Serenity or Harmony. If you want to be woken up, Revive. If you want to feel good in your own skin, Enchanted or Bliss. If you want to be left alone by your lotion, Zen. And if none of that sounds like you, Cedar Rum probably does.

Mindfully Nourish. Naturally Restore.
