How Scent Can Enhance Our Mood. A very Interesting read.
For thousands of years, humans have been using fragrance to enhance their confidence, commemorate religious services and influence others.
During the Roman Empire, people bathed before soaking themselves in scented oils for pleasure sometimes carrying them around their wrists as the scents were considered a luxury good.
Various cultures and religions across the globe have burned incense and herbs such as Frankincense, Oud and Myrrh. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used scents to enhance their personal appearance.
So why does wearing a particular perfume influence our mood, confidence and self-worth?
Pleasant smells improve the "physical and psychological well-being of humans". Memories of good times and positive experiences that are created when wearing a particular scent means that you're hardwired to remember those moments (or the feeling they evoke) when you sprit on that fragrance in the future.
