The smell of a rose can remind us of a romantic date just as the aroma of coffee can bring back memories of a fun afternoon with friends. This is due to olfactory memory, through which we can associate a scent with a person, a memory, or a moment experienced.
Aromas and fragrances are closely linked to emotions thanks to the limbic system, which connects memories and sensations. For example, smelling a sweater belonging to our mother can transport us to a childhood memory that gives us a feeling of safety and well-being.
Just like people, homes also have a characteristic scent that can tell us a lot about those who live there. We can choose to create a general atmosphere throughout the house or select a different scent for each room, as we use each of our rooms for different purposes.
At this point, it’s time to ask ourselves what types of fragrances can create rooms full of energy and positivity or, on the contrary, bring us calm and relaxation. We’ll tell you all about it!
Bedrooms
The bedrooms are rest areas, so we should create environments that promote calm. The most suitable fragrances to achieve this come from plants and flowers with relaxing properties, such as lavender, roses, or jasmine. Countryside or spring scents are also ideal.
Living rooms and play areas
The living rooms o play areas, where we gather with family and friends, need an atmosphere full of positive energy and optimism. For this, vanilla, coconut, cinnamon, or ginger can be great allies. If you think these types of scents might be too sweet, you can try red fruits or citrus instead.
Work and study areas
For study o workareas, citrus scents like lemon or orange are a good choice, as they keep the environment fresh and help concentration.
Bathroom and kitchen
The bathrooms and the kitchen are spaces where the strongest and hardest-to-remove odors concentrate, so we should opt for citrus essences like lime, grapefruit, or mandarin, which help eliminate unpleasant smells. Pine or eucalyptus also help.
