From Scents to Rituals: Why Eva Carys Botanica is Evolving in 2026

As we step into a brand new year, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting from my cabin workspace. For a long time, Eva Carys Botanica has been defined by a wide array of beautiful scents. But as I look toward 2026, I realise that what we truly need isn't just another fragrance or product; it’s a feeling of intention.

Eva Carys is evolving. This month, I am spending my time in the cabin crafting 5 new signature rituals designed specifically for your 2026. This transition is about more than just new labels; it is a fundamental shift in how we approach self-care.

A Complete Experience: The Ritual Sets

One of the biggest changes you will see this year is the structure of our collections. Each of our 5 core ritual collections will feature a full set of customised products. Whether you fall in love with the clarity of NORDLYS or the peace of RO, you will be able to immerse yourself in that feeling through a curated range of candles, diffusers, scrubs, artisan soaps, whipped butters, and botanical elixirs designed to work together in harmony.

Out with the Old, In with the Nordic

The "Great Reset" means we are streamlining our focus. To make room for these intentional new collections, some of our products are entering the vault. This has been a difficult decision, but a necessary one to ensure every product we create serves a specific purpose in your daily life.

Introducing the 5 Rituals

Our new collections, inspired by the Nordic spirit of clarity, rest, and joy, are each designed to anchor your day:

• NORDLYS (Clarity): Our first reveal. Designed as the scent of a fresh start, it features a bracing blend of Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Lime.
• RO (Tranquillity): Meaning "peace" in Swedish, this ritual is a personalised blend of Lavender, Cypress, and Spearmint specifically created to quiet the mind.
• SOLSKIN (Sunshine): Meaning "sunshine," this is a radiant, citrus-led blend of Sweet Orange, Bergamot, and Pink Grapefruit designed to lift the mood.
• SKOV (Forest): An earthy, grounding experience featuring Cedarwood, Pine, and Silver Fir to bring the stillness of the Nordic woods into your home.
• VARME (Warmth): Capturing the essence of Hygge, this is a comforting, spicy heart of Cardamom and Ginger smoothed with soft Vanilla.

Reimagining Your Favourite Gift Boxes

While our scent profiles are changing, our commitment to being your go-to for life’s big moments remains. I am currently reimagining our most-loved customised gift sets to be powered by these five core rituals. Whether you are looking for a 60th Birthday Gift Box or a unique Engagement Hamper, these sets will now offer a deeper, more cohesive experience.

By narrowing our focus, I can ensure the botanical integrity and quality of every single hand-poured jar and artisan soap bar that leaves the cabin.
