Instead of just a mindless spritz, why not find more ways to incorporate fragrance into your life? Its impact may surprise you!
The power of fragrance has been documented since ancient times. Some speculate that as early as 7000 BC, fragrant ointments from oils and plants were used to anoint the body. Ancient Romans, Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese all used essential oils for bathing and healing. Today, we know that a scent can create and alter one's moods, evoke memories, seduce, provoke and motivate.
Coco Chanel once said, "A woman not wearing perfume has no future". It may sound a bit harsh but, in a way, the wearing of perfume conveys hope… for the day, a new romance, a wonderful adventure.
The way scent works is actually quite simple. Your olfactory nerves connect to your brain, where the scent impulses create instant memories. What's more of a mystery is the relaxation and energy that can result from scent.
There are simple, fun and exciting new ways to incorporate the power of scent into your everyday life.
There are women with a signature scent, but honestly, would you wear the same outfit day after day without becoming bored and boring those around you. Try building a fragrance wardrobe, with a scent for different occasions. There are women who like a Saturday morning scent and swear that it motivates them to get errands and other small chores done. There are scents that are perfect for more serious occasions, for when you want to exude power and purpose. And of course, there are seductive scents for when romance calls.
