Siblings Sean and Sara Panton (cofounders of vitruvi) grew up driving through the famous Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island to visit their grandparents. This beautiful grove is home to some of the largest cedar trees in the world. Their grand scale and grounding aroma reminds the brother-sister duo of some of their favourite family memories.

Our team is made up of people who spend weekends hiking, camping, and exploring the West Coast, so we were inspired to make Grove: a diffuser blend that would take us to the trail after a warm rain. By combining the essential oils from some of our favourite trees, we were able to create the perfect forest-forward aroma with a fresh yet damp undertone.
