English term

aromaphoric

English to French Science Cosmetics, Beauty Hair products
This is a tough one, since the term seems to barely exist in English. Here is more context:
Clients will move through a state of sheer bliss while soothing sensations of aromaphoric oils and aromatic essences fill the air.

huiles essentielles aromatiques euphorisantes/bien-être

Je pense que le mot "aromaphoric" joue sur aromatic et euphoric. En tout cas c'est ce que cela me suggère. Pour une marque de cosmétiques, et vu ce qui est en vogue actuellement, ça me paraît aussi logique.

essentielles

Le suffixe "-phoric", ou "-phore" en français, vient du grec et signifie "qui porte". J'ai trouvé "aromatifères" sur Google... mais pas dans mes dictionnaires. En aromathérapie, on parle généralement d'huiles essentielles.

"huiles essentielles aromatiques"

I think aromaphoric was invented as a trade mark by REVLON for a brand of hair care products and as far as I know doesn't really exist.

I would use "huiles essentielles aromatiques" to cover all, unless your client can give an English definition of "aromaphoric" !!!!
