What does your scent do for you?

Our sense of smell is more senstitive than any of our other senses and that's why aromas can be so evocative

Fragrances, Scents and Aromas can trigger physiological responses that affect our mental and physical state. The type of scent you use can help:

1. Stimulate your energy and boost your mood e.g. people from South Asia, who are often exposed to the Jasmine flowers in their gardens would swear by its mood boosting properties. Citrusy and fresh fragrances e.g frankincense have similar energy boosting effects. Our Coffee Musk Perfume Oil is another one of such mood boosters

2. Help you relax e.g. scents heavy on Lavender can help your relax

3. Help improve concentration and focus e.g. Oud is known to have been used by bedouins in the Middle East for centuries as they told stories and recited poems from memory in their tribal gatherings. It is to this day used in mosques as it helps with concentration in prayer

4. Help with wellbeing - aromatherpy has been used for treating people in various cultures around the world for centuries

So when you choose your next fragrance, consider how it will make you feel. Use the information provided about the notes to determine what impact it'll have on your mood and mental state.
