The Right Fragrance Can Give You a Lift – Anytime of the Day

It’s 6:30 a.m. You’ve been to the gym, gotten your shower, had your cup of coffee, did your hair and make-up, and you’re finally dressed. You’re about to eat breakfast and then head out the door to start your daily meetings for your ever growing business…

You’re incredible! You can do it all and conquer the world… But every once in a while, just once in a while, you get a bit stressed, exhausted, a little down and just need some time to take care of the most important person in your life… You!

But it’s hard to find the time. And it’s easy to understand why… Smart women are busy women. Always on the go. So what if you knew it took less than a minute to get the pick me up you need in the middle of the day; or in just a matter of seconds your could feel more relaxed when you need it?

What’s the secret? It’s fragrance…

No kidding! It’s been proven that fragrance affects the brain chemicals in the brain and can evoke emotions of happiness, reduce stress, relieve depression and anxiety, and even enhance sensuality.

If you already have a fragrance that evokes the emotion you’re looking for, then you’re already ahead of the game. Spray it on as often as you need to during the day to get the boost you need. However, if you would like to conjure up different emotions, or you’re new to fragrance all together, read on for some tips on selecting the perfect fragrance to enhance any mood throughout the day.

Understanding notes of a fragrance:

The most common descriptors of fragrance are categorized as notes, with most fragrances possessing a top, middle and bottom note. The top note is the first note you’ll notice when you initially spray on a fragrance. It only lasts for a few moments before the middle note takes effect. The middle note is the scent that lasts for about an hour before the lasting note, the bottom note, appears. The bottom is the note that lasts throughout the day after the top and middle notes wear off. Therefore, it’s critical you like the middle and bottom notes prior to purchasing. In some cases, however, a simple fragrance may only have a note or two, and the top note is the note that becomes the middle and/or bottom note. Just be sure to test the fragrance for a day first!

Understanding what scents, or notes, trigger what emotions:

Certain notes, or scents, evoke certain emotions. A simple scent may evoke a single emotion, or a complex fragrance may evoke a variety of emotions. By understanding what notes evoke what emotions, you will be well equipped to choose the perfect fragrance to trigger any emotion. A few notes:

• A complex fragrance, like tuberose, can trigger several emotions at once. It can enhance your mood, relax you and induce romance.
• Scents of clear water, citrus or green can help boost your energy and trigger positive emotions.
• Scents of pine, lavender and vanilla can help lower anxiety and relieve tension from a stressful day.
• Looking to feel a bit more sensual or romantic? Try scents of jasmine, musk, or woody scents, like sandalwood.

How easy is that? And what great news for a smart, busy woman like you! You can feel great in a matter of seconds at any time during the day.
