Using Fragrance to Change Your Mood


Scent is a powerful thing. Breathe in the fragrance of a summer rose and life just feels a little better. The right scent at the right time can change your entire outlook in a matter of moments.

Fragrances have been used for centuries to manipulate mood. Here are a few of my favorite mood lifters.

  • Stressed out and can't sleep? Try a little lavender or chamomile to help settle your nerves and calm you down.

  • Feeling overworked and overwhelmed? Vanilla can ease the pressure.

  • A little sluggish and run down? Green tea or grapefruit is the answer, or try a little lemon and lime.

  • Totally exhausted? There's nothing like peppermint or eucalyptus to perk you up again.

  • Got a big date and want to feel more womanly? Try a musk or sandalwood.

  • When I'm feeling down, nothing makes me happy faster than a mix of pomegranate and cinnamon.

Scent is a powerful thing. What do you use as a pick-me-up?
