Scents That Can Do Wonders For Your Well-Being

 Bella Freud once said, ‘A good scent seems to make someone cleverer and more imaginative. The ideal fragrance should get you in the head, heart, and hormones. A response like this to a scent isn’t just a coincidence: there’s science behind it. Our olfactory system is closely linked to the emotional centre of our brain, which means every spritz will evoke a flood of feelings. Certain aromas, though, can do so much more for our bodies. It can help us in various ways, from stress alleviation to headache relief.  

Here are the scents that work wonders for our emotional well-being, from helping with focus, easing insomnia, relieving stress, and even boosting our confidence.    

Vanilla- The sweet essence of comfort! 

Vanilla is one of the most often used scent notes, yet it is far from mundane when it comes to our pleasure levels—according to one study, sniffing vanilla improves sensations of joy and relaxation.  

Lavender- A cure for anxiety! 

While lavender is well-known for its ability to help with sleep, and cure anxiety.  An interesting study conducted at the Cardiff University discovered that smell efficiently suppresses the receptors in the brain that cause sensations of anxiety.   

Cinnamon- A secret ingredient to smart brains! 

Many spicy oriental scents include cinnamon, a soothing and warmth-seeking scent, and our new knowledge reveals that cinnamon also boosts brain function. A study conducted in the United States showed that those who sniffed cinnamon improved cognitive skills such as memory, motor reaction, and attention span.  

Jasmine- A step towards a happy mind! 

The jasmine note is at the heart of perfumery, and a new study shows that it can create a sense of alertness while easing panic attacks and depressive thoughts. A study found that jasmine possesses a stimulating effect on the nervous system, thus relieving depression and boosting your mood.  

Citrus- A mood booster for those blue days! 

Are you preparing for a big day? Try spritzing a citrus scent filled with lemon or mandarin to soothe anxieties before the event. Lemon, in particular, is now proven to aid focus and have an emotionally energising effect, which is especially good when you’re upset or in a bad mood. Meanwhile, mandarin has proven to ease stress, improve digestion, and ease nausea.
