Mindful Scents
Scent has a powerful impact on our mental state, with research showing that different fragrances can influence emotions, reduce stress, and even improve focus and memory. Perfume therapy, or the intentional use of scents at home to support mental well-being, is a simple and enjoyable way to enhance mood and create a relaxing environment. The psychology behind scent is based on how fragrances interact with our brains, particularly the limbic system, which governs emotions, memories, and behaviors. By understanding how certain scents affect us, we can use perfume therapy to manage stress, improve mood, and foster mental resilience.
