PharmaSpa: 16 fragrances to rediscover your spa, one session at a time

What if your spa could change its atmosphere according to your mood? A lavender evening, a citrusy escape, or a sensation of eucalyptus freshness: with PharmaSpa scented crystals, relaxation also becomes an olfactory discovery.

Discover the range, choose your first fragrance, and let yourself be tempted by new experiences. In this guide, we’ve brought together the 16 PharmaSpa fragrances available at Piscine Hippocampe, their aromatic profiles, and our ideas for trying them.

PharmaSpa Lavandula Aromatic Crystals for Spa and Bath
Start with Lavandula, then explore other fragrances to create your own ritual.

A small novelty, a big change in atmosphere

Your spa is already a moment of relaxation. Give it a signature fragrance.

Instead of always using the same fragrance, discover fresh, floral, fruity, or woody blends. The PharmaSpa range is designed for spas and hot tubs; however, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the product and your spa.

01 · The idea

Which PharmaSpa fragrance is right for you?

We don’t all want the same atmosphere. For some, the ideal spa evokes wide-open spaces and eucalyptus; for others, a quiet evening with lavender notes, a flower garden, or a citrus fragrance.

Calm & softness

Lavandula, Calm Sea, Lavender Peony

Freshness

Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Cascade

Getaway

Escape, Phytomix, Lascivious River

Fragrance energy

Energy, Lemon Zest, Sunny Mist

These are not medical treatments: these suggestions are based on fragrance profiles and the desired atmosphere. The best fragrance is the one you enjoy smelling.

02 · First collection

PharmaSpa Original: six distinctive fragrances

The Original collection brings together six fragrance profiles ranging from floral to herbal, including mentholated and citrusy sensations. It’s an excellent introduction to discovering PharmaSpa.

Can't decide? Start with Lavandula for floral notes, Eucalyptus for a fresh profile, or Energy for a more citrusy atmosphere.

03 · Second collection

PharmaSpa Nature: an escape with every bath

With Nature, every fragrance evokes a destination, a breeze, or a time of day. This collection may appeal to customers who like to regularly change the atmosphere and offer their guests a different experience.

Our idea: try Calm Sea on a quiet evening, then Cascade next time. Two very different moods in the same spa.

04 · Third collection

PharmaSpa Hemp: a collection of fresh, floral accords

The Hemp collection offers a fragrant palette where citrus, mint, peony, and jasmine take center stage. These products are presented here as scented crystals for spas and baths, without claims of CBD effects or medical treatment.

To explore: alternate Lemon zest and Peony lavender. The first offers a sparkling direction; the second, a floral atmosphere.

Your next discoveries

PharmaSpa duos and trios: a fragrance for every moment

Like your first pot? Give your upcoming sessions a new mood. Here are six routines to create according to your preferences, using the actual products from our store with direct access to the cart.

One fragrance at a time. These duos and trios are selections of pots for separate use. Do not mix fragrances in the water or add a new fragrance to water that is already scented. Before changing fragrances, follow the product manufacturer’s and spa’s instructions. The suggested days are calendar ideas to adapt to these instructions.

07 · Practical tips

How do you use PharmaSpa crystals in your spa?

PharmaSpa crystals are formulated for use in spas and hot tubs, according to the manufacturer. The correct dosage depends on the water volume and the instructions on the product. For the crystals, the general PharmaSpa guide indicates 1 to 2 capfuls for approximately 500 gallons (about 1,900 litres). Always refer to the current packaging and your spa manufacturer's recommendations.

  1. Make sure the water is clean and properly balanced before the session.
  2. Check that the product is compatible with your spa and its treatment system.
  3. Measure the amount indicated on the container based on the water volume.
  4. Add the product according to the label instructions and let it disperse as recommended.
  5. After use, continue with your usual maintenance routine: a fragrance does not replace disinfectant, filtration, or water balancing.
Important: avoid combining multiple fragrances in the same session unless instructed by the manufacturer. To better compare scents, choose one at a time. If you experience fragrance sensitivity or irritation, discontinue use.

Also consult the manufacturer's general instructions.

09 · Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before choosing PharmaSpa

Do PharmaSpa crystals replace maintenance products?

No. They add a scented ambiance. You must continue to disinfect, test, and balance your water in accordance with your spa manufacturer's recommendations.

What is the difference between Original, Nature, and Chanvre?

Each family offers a fragrance world: Original notably highlights lavender, eucalyptus, and menthol scents; Nature focuses on getaway-inspired fragrances; Chanvre offers accords ranging from mint to peony and jasmine.

Will the crystals create foam?

The manufacturer describes its fragrances as soluble and designed to prevent foam and residue when used according to the instructions. Foamy water can also be caused by other contaminants or an imbalance: do not replace your usual checks.

Is it safe for all spas?

Check the requirements specific to your spa brand, including any specialized water-treatment systems. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the product and your equipment.

Which fragrance should you try first?

For an easy introduction, try Lavandula if you like floral scents, Eucalyptus if you prefer fresh green notes, or Energy for citrus notes.

Do the crystals relieve pain or respiratory problems?
