It is no secret that scent is linked to many things. However, you may not be aware of just how much smell can affect you in everyday life. Keep reading to find out how you can change your mood using scent.

Know What Scents Link to Which Memories

Scent is known to be linked to memories, and depending on how strong the memory is, just a whiff of a familiar scent can bring that memory to the front of your mind. If you do not want to remember a specific memory due to trauma or for another reason, avoid any scents that you know are associated with that memory. 

For good memories, if you are having a hard time recalling them, you can try and make them come back with a certain scent. For instance, if you want to remember your grandmother and you know that she baked, you can try making one of her recipes or using a cleaner or air freshener that she always liked to use.

In a similar way, personal memories can also be tied to colognes or perfumes. Maybe you recall a past relationship or a memorable event each time you smell a particular John Varvatos cologne. That specific fragrance holds a special place in your memory, forever linked to those emotions and experiences.

Help Your Everyday Mood

Sometimes you do not wake up feeling your best, and that is perfectly normal. However, there is a way that you can change your own mood using perfume. If you are not sure where to get perfume from and you do not want to be sprayed with samples in the department store, you can check out discounted perfumes at Labelle Perfumes.

You can browse a variety of perfumes from the comfort of your own home without having to worry about wondering if you look like you are spending too much time browsing or if you are wasting the salesperson’s time.

While you are browsing the available perfumes, think about the scents you like and look for those notes in the fragrance. If you can afford it, try to get an affordable perfume that will lighten your spirit every day, as well as a scent that you only use for special occasions to get that powerful, elegant energy.

This will help you have an almost instant mood booster without having to seek additional help that may not work as well, if at all.

Personalize the Atmosphere of Your Home

A home says a lot about a person. If you are trying to convey a certain feeling that guests can immediately sense when they walk through your door, try looking into giving your home a signature scent. If you do not want people to stay longer, try having a more abrasive scent.

If you want your home to be the kind of home that people want to stay in for hours on end, try working on a cozy scent profile that will make them feel welcome. After a few visits, whatever scent you have put in your home is what they will associate you with, and the connection will get stronger the more times they visit you.

It can be very easy to change the mood, but there is an art to it. Keep this article in mind, and be sure to use these tips when the need arises.
