5,000 years ago, the philosophy of Ayurveda recognizes seven main
“chakras,” or “energy centers” in the body. Chakra Balancing Body

all 7 Chakras and a Chakra ritual card. Packaged in a reusable gift
box wrapped with Lokta paper from Nepal.
CHAKRA 1: Muladhara
What is it? The center where we ground ourselves and take
care of our basic needs. When the root chakra is balanced, one has a
good energy, a feeling of security and a healthy body awareness. When
the root chakra is imbalanced, one feels lethargy, resistance to
change and the need to slow down.

Motivation was probably given as a name because you need lot of motivation to wear it, LOL!
It’s wild and raw, not smooth and refined, but true to its nature.
I have it now and I hope it won’t be a waste of money in the long term. I felt attracted to it and gave me a good vibe, who knows why.
It smells like nothing I would wear as personal scent, especially to go out.
Key ingredients may be certified, I don’t know about the rest.
It smells very earthy and canphorated. It has a soothing effect but not necessarily sleepy. That effect could be a result of mind-clearance that often ease to sleep.
It smells like being a wild exotical forest with dump leaves and aromatic bark.
Once you get out of standards for ladies perfume, this is comforting, especially at home. I was told that it’s meant to be spray close to the body area where the 1st chakra is.
Grounded was the word for me! I so need to stay grounded and sound, but anyway I chose it with close eyes among others, so I was not biased on the name.
I like to spray this in the air to bring some natural, even if raw, smell to a city flat.
It stays very close to the place where you spray it as it made a little cloud that keeps there.
After the patchouli, also oliban spreads an incensey smell that vaguely remember of a church, but mostly of any spiritual place. It could be everywhere they use to burn incense.
In spite of being called mist it’s very strong, so be careful with overspraying.
To me it gives a sense of protection and it also smells exhilarating due to its weirdness. Not a fave of my bf, but who cares.
I will try and put some in hot water lamp, unless he kills me before.

Many patchouli perfumes these days are sweet and gooey with lots of vanilla. Aveda CHAKRA 1 features patchouli in a savory composition with a bitter edge. Going against the current trend, this creation offers patchouli with vetiver and olibanum in a simple but stimulating woody-oriental blend. CHAKRA 1 is at least unisex, maybe leaning even a bit toward the masculine side, given our cultural tendency to associate candy and flowers with women and wood with lumberjacks. This composition is not sweaty, but it is definitely earthy, rather like clean dirt.
I really like this blend and regard it as a well-kept secret which guys and gals alike who appreciate somewhat stern presentations of vetiver would enjoy wearing. A further reason for perfumistas to explore the CHAKRAS is that it is a great way to familiarize one’s self with the scent of the various components featured, since the compositions are all natural. The vetiver in this creation has a raw, rough-hewn quality, which is usually masked and smoothed out in perfumes featuring lots of aromachemicals, such as Lalique ENCRE NOIRE and Hermès TERRE D’HERMES, to name but two of many possible examples.

I bought this yesterday, and used it before bed. It was very soothing and comforting. It is very heavy on patchouli, so if you dislike patchouli, you will prob dislike this spray. It has good longevity and sillage.

I agree with the other reviewer who sprays it on her bed linens. This is magic for that. Helps to clear the mind and relax you. I really like this scent as a room scent.
I don’t care for it on my body because it is so heavy on the patchouli.

This is my favorite Aveda Chakra Spray of them all, purely because it helps me sleep so well. I spray it on myself, on my sheets, on my pillow, in the air…I pretty much spray it everywhere before going to bed, and I can’t believe how soundly I sleep now. In the morning, my bedroom smells woodsy and fresh. I love the vetiver/patchouli combination. Very grounding. I have already recommended it to another person who has trouble sleeping well, and they found it to be just as effective.

I purchased this for my husband and me! It is a very woody, spicy scent with lots of Patchouli. If you love Patchouli, this one is for you! The spray size is generous and the scents lasts a long time on the skin.
