Fragrance Mood Boosters

Fragrance Mood Boosters

It’s no secret that our sense of smell has a huge impact on how we feel; connecting directly to the most primal and emotional part of the brain, this invisible sense can draw on fragrant plants, flowers and essential oils to boost happiness, relaxation and focus and even help activate the immune system and help digestion. In addition to the innate qualities of natural plant based fragrances championed by aromatherapists, smell can also transport us through the power of association, for example freshly cut grass and citrus scents can evoke the happiness of summer while vanilla and foodie notes can help us feel comforted and safe.

The invisible power of fragrance can be worn like clothing to reflect the frame of mind we want to have and project whether it be, calmness, confidence, comforted or carefree. Of course eau de parfums and eau de colognes are a great way of literally wearing fragrance to achieve this, however, scented candles and home diffusers from our Casa collection are an invaluable mood booster and a great way of creating variety within our homes- for example by using a spicy, citrus diffuser to energise us in work spaces while sweet, woody fragrances can transport us to childhood memories and give a sense of comfort and creativity.

Here are our recommendations from the ACCA KAPPA range for the body and home covering different types of mood lifts so you can live like an emperor in a magical kingdom, no matter how big or small the space between the walls.
