Different fragrances can have lasting effects on your mood and well-being. Fragrances have been part of different culture, which can be traced back to the ancient times, and it is not merely a serious case of fab or craze, nor is it a hyped-up commodity to fan consumerism.
It is actually hardwired in your brain to give priority to a variety of scents.
In fact, a relatively huge part of the human brain is allotted for storage of scents that we encounter throughout our lives, not only because it helps with association and recognition, and eventually memory storage, but because evolution dictates it—a bad smell meant danger and a good smell meant safety.
Hence, our sense of smell is heightened than our other senses. The scent of our loved ones are actually stored in our brains, so even if they are far from us, a whiff of scent similar to them could immediately invoke memories and create a cascade of emotional response from us.
The ideal perfume could not merely raise your spirit, but also alter your mood entirely.
Indeed, more research is needed to prove the direct involvement of fragrance on a person’s mood, but the papers already available already showed a lot of correlation and here is what experts have to say so far:
1. Feeling upbeat, but want to feel even better?
Complement your happy mood with a fragrance that has a hint of herbs. This is biological and evolutionary as well. Our human ancestors used to only rely on herbs for medical purposes, so any whiff of herbs can be rejuvenating, as the brain interprets this as a sign that the body being “healed” somehow.
So better opt for products that have mint, blossom, or walnut scents. The cologne should be fresh, but subtle.
