Understanding the Menstrual Cycle & How Cycle-Syncing Perfumes Support Hormonal Health

What is the Menstrual Cycle?

The menstrual cycle is a natural process that plays a key role in a woman’s overall health. It typically spans about 28 days, though it can vary from person to person, and is regulated by the fluctuations of hormones. The cycle has four distinct phases: Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulation, and Luteal phases. Throughout these phases, hormone levels such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shift, influencing both physical and emotional symptoms.

In this blog, we’ll explore each phase of the menstrual cycle, common symptoms, and how Soluna & Eve’s natural cycle-syncing perfumes are designed to support your body during each phase by aligning with these hormone fluctuations.

 

O1 The Menstrual Phase (Day 1-5)

During Menstrual phase (when you have your period!), estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, signalling the shedding of the uterine lining. This phase is often associated with feelings of tiredness and emotional sensitivity.

Common Menstrual Phase Symptoms:

• Physical: Bloating, cramps, fatigue, headaches.
• Emotional: Increased irritability, mood swings, emotional sensitivity.

How Soluna and Eve’s Menstrual Perfume Helps:

Designed for comfort and relaxation, our Menstrual Phase Perfume is infused with lavender, clary sage, rose, neroli, mandarin, peppermint, sandalwood, and patchouli. These essential oils are known for their calming, stress-reducing properties:

• Lavender has been shown to reduce cortisol by up to 30%, promoting deep relaxation.
• Clary Sage helps balance hormones and supports emotional stability.
• Patchouli & Sandalwood are grounding and help create a sense of inner peace.

 

O2 The Follicular Phase (Day 5-11)

Estrogen begins to rise during the Follicular phase, stimulating the growth of the ovarian follicles. Testosterone levels also rise, contributing to increased energy and mood improvement.

Common Follicular Phase Symptoms:

• Physical: Higher energy, clearer skin, improved stamina.
• Emotional: Increased motivation, clarity, and positivity.

How Soluna and Eve’s Follicular Perfume Helps:

As you begin to feel more energised and clear-headed, our light, uplifting, and energising Follicular Perfume Blend, made with bergamot, lime, geranium, neroli, and peppermint supports this natural surge in energy. These oils promote a positive and balanced mood while preparing your body for ovulation.

• Bergamot reduces symptoms of anxiety and enhances mood.
• Neroli & Lime uplift and promote positivity.
• Peppermint improves mental clarity and focus.

 

O3 The Ovulation Phase (Day 11-16)

During ovulation, estrogen reaches its peak and is responsible for the release of an egg from the ovaries. This is when you may feel more confident, energised, and social.

Common Ovulation Phase Symptoms:

• Physical: Increased libido, heightened energy levels.
• Emotional: Feeling more confident, sociable, and sexually empowered.

How Soluna and Eve’s Ovulation Perfume Helps:

Our Ovulation Perfume Blend, featuring rose, geranium, lavender, ylang-ylang, and sandalwood aligns with this phase to enhance your natural confidence and boost mood. These oils provide natural support during this high-energy, high-estrogen dominance phase.

• Rose oil is linked to estrogen balance.
• Geranium supports hormonal stability and emotional well-being.
• Ylang-Ylang enhances confidence and sensuality.

 

O4 The Luteal Phase (Day 16-28)

In the Luteal Phase, progesterone rises, preparing the body for a potential pregnancy. When fertilisation does not occur, hormone levels drop and the Menstrual Phase begins. This phase is marked by premenstrual symptoms due to hormonal shifts.

Common Luteal Phase Symptoms:

• Physical: PMS, bloating, fatigue, breast tenderness.
• Emotional: Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, low energy.

How Soluna and Eve’s Luteal Perfume Helps:

During the luteal phase, balancing emotions is key as hormonal fluctuations can cause mood swings and irritability. Our Luteal Perfume Blend, featuring bergamot, cedarwood, and orange, helps soothe the nerves and uplift the spirit. Also offering grounding and uplifting properties, helping reduce feelings of fatigue and stress while supporting hormonal balance.

• Bergamot promotes relaxation, can effectively combat PMS and anxiety.
• Cedarwood supports emotional balance and grounding.
• Sweet Orange uplifts mood and reduces tension.
