Fragrance Makes Me Happy

There is an intimate connection between smell and emotion

Fragrance Makes Me Happy – The wonders of scent play a crucial role in the human experience, this begins on our first day in the world and continues to be important throughout our lives.

There is an intimate connection between smell and emotion, and these can be influenced by the assortment of aromas around us.

Fragrance connects us with our food, our homes, nature, and the world that we live in to enhance our lives in many ways, affecting our mood, stress levels, apathy, happiness, sensuality, relaxation, stimulation, sleep patterns, self-confidence, and even our physical and cognitive performance.

Fragrance is positively associated with nostalgia, memory, and self-image, meaning that the right scents can evoke pleasant feelings and promote an overall improvement in well-being.

Buying perfume for yourself or a gift for a friend can be fun and exciting. Taking the time to understand your favourite fragrance notes, will turn the end experience into a more pleasurable one.

Some of the most common fragrance note categories include fresh, floral, spice, fruits, woods, and musk, each are typically used in specific note categories. For instance, fresh and floral scents are almost always top notes, that you will experience first, while woody and musky scents typically appear toward the bottom of the note pyramid and these will linger with you.

Perfume can play an important role in our wardrobe, giving us a unique aura and presence. This is created by the fragrance notes, each of the individual components, when combined, for a unified, pleasing perfume.
