  Have you ever smelled cookies baking and it brought back memories of your grandmother? Have you ever smelled fresh cut grass and it brought back special memories of your childhood? Believe it or not, scent affects our brain in number of ways.

We usually don’t give much thought to smells unless it triggers and adverse or extremely pleasant effect. Scientists are studying how the brain deciphers the complex compounds we smell and how it forms a visual image for us. All we know is that scents affect our lives.


Scents are also used to mask odors. Many of us have pets and our homes tend to reflect that. Unlike aerosol sprays, scents from candles can eliminate odors and make your home more inviting to others. Some foods that we cook can also leave odors that are not so inviting. Candles can make your home fresh and new again.

Some scents evoke a feeling of calm, such as lavender, vanilla and jasmine. Some scents make us perk up and feel refreshed, such as botanical scents like green tea and lime, strawberry or peppermint. There are even scents that we consider aphrodisiacs, such as pomegranate and Ylang-Ylang. All these scents, and many more, are used in aromatherapy .Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils for physiological and physical well-being.

Scents have many purposes in our lives, and are a reasonable solution to most problems, whether it is odor or just needing to relax from a long day. Scents are a small and effective way to bring a little happiness to our home. You have to find what scents you like and what suits you and your family. Remember, some scents can trigger allergies, so be careful what kind you choose.

In other words, scents affect our emotions, our thoughts and our physical bodies. Scents are an important part of our lives and our sense of well-being.
