Many sauna owners in Ireland ask the same question:
What can I put on the sauna stones to improve the sauna experience?
The answer is simple. Not essential oils. Not random fragrances.
But proper sauna scents, developed specifically for use with hot stones and steam.
At Polaris Sauna, we stock a selection of original Rento Sauna Scents from Finland in 100 ml and 400 ml bottles, as well as a practical 4 × 100 ml bundle.
What Are Sauna Scents?
Sauna scents are concentrated fragrances designed specifically for sauna use.
They are mixed with water in your sauna bucket and poured over the hot stones. The steam then carries the aroma evenly throughout the sauna room, creating a noticeably different atmosphere without making the heat uncomfortable or overwhelming.
This is the traditional Nordic way of adding fragrance to a sauna session.
Why You Should Not Use Regular Essential Oils
A common mistake is adding essential oils directly to the water or onto the stones.
Regular essential oils:
- are too concentrated for sauna use
- can burn on hot stones
- can create unpleasant smells
- are not formulated for steam evaporation
Rento sauna scents are produced exactly for this purpose. They evaporate cleanly with the steam and create a balanced, pleasant aroma.
How to Use Rento Sauna Scents Correctly
Using sauna scents is very simple:
- Fill your sauna bucket with fresh water.
- Add a small amount of the scent. A few drops are enough for the 100 ml bottles.
- Stir the water gently.
- Pour the water over the hot stones as usual.
Start with a small amount. You can adjust the intensity in your next session.
Rento Sauna Scents Available at Polaris Sauna
At Polaris Sauna, we stock a range of Rento sauna scents in different sizes. Each of these can be mixed with water and used directly on sauna stones.
100 ml Bottles
Ideal for trying different aromas or for occasional sauna users:
- Rento Sauna Scent – Wilderness forest 100 ml
- Rento Sauna Scent – Blue Hour 100 ml
- Rento Sauna Scent – Clear & Crisp 100 ml
- Rento Sauna Scent – Aurora 100 ml
These bottles last a long time because only a few drops are required per session.
400 ml Bottles
These larger bottles contain different aroma compositions compared to the 100 ml range. They are designed for regular sauna users who have already found a favourite scent and want a bigger bottle.
4 × 100 ml Bundle
This bundle is a value set that allows you to try several aromas at a better price. It comes without gift packaging and is intended as a practical option for personal use rather than as a present.
How Scents Change the Sauna Experience
Adding scent to your sauna water changes the entire character of the session.
Some aromas feel fresh and clearing. Others feel calming and grounding. Many sauna owners find that once they start using sauna scents, they never want a “plain” sauna again.
It turns a hot room into a full sensory experience.
A Small Addition with a Big Effect
Sauna scents are one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your sauna routine.
They require no installation, no equipment and no changes to your sauna. Just a few drops in the water bucket noticeably enhance the atmosphere.
For many sauna owners, this becomes an essential part of every session.
