What Scents Boost Your Mood?

Scents that boost mood often include energizing citrus, relaxing florals, and warm gourmand notes like vanilla or amber. These aromas can influence brain chemistry and trigger positive emotional responses.

 

How Scent Influences Mood

Your sense of smell connects directly to the brain’s limbic system -- the center of memory and emotion. Certain fragrance notes can trigger feel-good neurotransmitters, affecting mood almost instantly.


Mood-Boosting Scent Families

  • Citrus (e.g. pomelo, bergamot): Uplifts and energizes.

  • Floral (e.g. rose, jasmine, neroli): Calms the mind and reduces stress

  • Warm Gourmand (e.g. vanilla, praline, amber): Comforting and grounding
