Welcome to Rifugium Aromaticum, a sanctuary of aromatherapy inspired by the serene beauty of Rifugium, a retreat perched on a hilltop above Greve in Chianti, Tuscany. Although inspired by this peaceful Tuscan setting, our base is nestled in the heart of Brunswick, Maryland, where we continue to embrace the essence of healing and wellbeing.

Our journey began inspired by a place steeped in tranquility and healing, once a Catholic convent now converted into a haven of vacation apartments. This magical setting became the inspiration for Rifugium Aromaticum, a venture deeply rooted in love, healing, and the transformative power of nature. Our founder's personal mission to support a loved one's recovery from PTSD unveiled the profound benefits of aromatherapy, leading to the creation of our unique custom essential oil blends, tailored to your specific needs.

The name Rifugium Aromaticum was chosen to embody the spirit of the place that inspires us. It reflects the crisp Tuscan mornings, the gentle mist, and the distant sound of church bells, all harmonizing with the subtle herbal scents from the nearby garden. Here, we offer an aromatic refuge—a space to rediscover joy and inner peace.

Rifugium Aromaticum is more than just an aromatherapy business; it is a philosophy that nurtures the body and the soul. We believe in creating blends where safety and happiness are not just aspirations, but realities. Our commitment is to harness the power of nature to foster healing and enjoyment.

As we continue to grow in Brunswick, we remain a beacon of hope, serving as a reminder that profound healing often emerges from simple pleasures: a breath of fresh air, the scent of herbs, and the peace found in everyday moments. Join us on this journey to reclaim life’s joys and the comfort of a true refuge.
