Scent is a neuroscience.
1,000,000,000,000:
The amount of distinct scents the human brain can process.

Scent is the fastest, and most powerful way of impacting our daily experience.
This is because the olfactory bulb is connected to the limbic system - the part of the brain that is responsible for controlling our mood, memory and awareness.

Icreases Focus
The scent stimulates the olfactory system and activates the brain to create a focused state of mind. A recent article from Brain and Behavior showed that Citrus and Sandalwood can improve mood, focus, and working memory function by acting on the prefrontal cortex, the control centre that mediates our highest cognitive abilities, such as decision-making.
Clears Brain-Fog
The Sandalwood and Sea Salt in this scent mimics the invigorating, clean, and aquatic scent of the ocean, which acts on the prefrontal cortex to improve memory, mood, concentration, and cognitive function.

Boosts Brain Function
The scent is formulated with Sandalwood, which has been studied to improve brain function and memory maintenance. By inhaling the scent, the olfactory receptors send signals to the limbic system of the brain, which regulates emotions, memory, and motivation, promoting brain function.
Reduces Stress
This scent has been formulated with Cypress, Sandalwood, and Cedarwood. According to Clinical Aromatherapy and the Aromatherapy for Health Professionals, these ingredients soothe the nervous system and act as a general tonic to reduce stress by acting on the emotional centres of the brain, also known as the limbic system.

Increases Relaxation
Inhaling this scent increases relaxation due to the activity of Vetvier on the brain. According to Nature’s essential oils: Aromatic alchemy for well-being, this perennial grass induces relaxing effects upon inhalation by reducing anxiety.

Reduces Anxiety
This scent is formulated with Cedarwood, which offers a soothing and woodsy scent that acts as a general tonic to calm nerves according to Clinical Aromatherapy.
Increases Sociability
By inhaling this scent, sociability is improved due to the infusion of Citrus, which, according to Citrus Essential Oils in Aromatherapy, has a mood-lifting and cheer-enhancing effect. In addition, Citrus also imparts a relaxing and calming effect, which further improves sociability.

Stimulates body
According to A Focused Insight into Thyme: Biological, Chemical, and Therapeutic Properties of an Indigenous Mediterranean Herb, Thyme has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects, which stimulates the brain and body to enhance overall health and well-being.

Olfactory: Key Facts
What is a functional fragrance?
Functional fragrance are scents that are designed to go beyond just smelling good, and also provide a specific benefit such as stress reduction or improved focus.
Pharmacological Effects
Functional fragrance works by incorporating specific scent molecules that have been scientifically shown to influence mood and behavior through their interaction with the brain's olfactory system.
Clinical Studies
Clinical studies in the field of neuroscience and olfaction science show that certain functional fragrance ingredients can affect brain activity and have a positive impact on mood, stress, and cognitive performance.
