How Fragrances Affect Mood?
How Fragrances Affect Mood: The Science Behind Scent
Fragrance is more than just a pleasant aroma—it has the power to transform your mood, evoke memories, and even influence behaviour. From calming anxiety to boosting confidence, the right scent can make a significant impact on how you feel throughout the day.
Let’s explore the fascinating science behind how fragrances affect mood and how NÉIA perfume oils can help you harness the power of scent.
The Connection Between Scent and Emotions
Your sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for emotions, memories, and behaviour. This unique connection explains why certain scents can instantly transport you to a cherished memory or evoke a specific feeling.
How Scents Impact Mood
1. Calming Scents
Fragrances with soft, soothing notes like lavender, vanilla, and sandalwood can reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Recommended Fragrance: Midnight
With its warm blend of oud, vanilla, and musk, Midnight creates a calming and grounding effect.
2. Energising Scents
Citrus-based fragrances like lemon, orange, and bergamot are known for their refreshing, energising properties. They can uplift your mood and increase focus.
Recommended Fragrance: Cuban
A bright and citrusy scent, Cuban is perfect for starting your day with energy and clarity.
