of applications. From the choice of perfume we wear,
to lotions we use, candles we choose, oils, potpourris,
etc. It is known that certain scents seem to effect people
in different ways.
Some scents are tied to certain memories, and if those
memories were good or bad, will probably have a huge
influence on whether the scent is liked or not. For
instance, if mom made a great apple pie and there were
lots of good memories of that apple pie, odds are you
would find the scent of apple pie comforting and homey.
Many people have fond memories of a lilac bush in
grandmas yard. The list goes on and on. You may want
to ask yourself what scents you typically tie to good
memories, those could be a good place to start.
There are categories of scents that are
commonly known to have certain affects on peoples
moods. These are listed below:
1. Romantic scents: jasmine, patchouli, freesia,
gardenia, rose, sandalwood, cinnamon.
2. Energizers: tangerine, eucalyptus, mint, lemon,
bergamot, ginger.

4. Refreshing: eucalyptus, grapefruit, lemon, lime,
orange, mint, tangerine, rosemary.
This also helps to explain why we tend to prefer
different scents based on our moods. I know mine vary
quite a lot, as does my taste in candle scents. I
think thats true with most of us. Perhaps its time
to try another type of scent that you wouldnt
naturally gravitate to, you may find you discover a new
favorite when the "mood" hits you.
