Smell is definitely one of the least appreciated human senses. In the last decade, scientists have conducted many studies that have confirmed that the importance of smell in humans is much greater than previously thought. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the great sensitivity of olfactory receptors to stimuli, which is comparable to the sensitivity of visual receptors, has been indicated. It turns out that we are able to distinguish even several thousand smells, as well as remember them permanently (the so-called olfactory memory). What's more, olfactory impressions create an important emotional setting for human emotions and experiences. They can build the mood and atmosphere, thus influencing the psyche.
The meaning of smells
Fragrances are more important to humans than you might think. They influence the emotional state, well-being, thinking and even acting. What's more, it is indicated that a better understanding of the functioning of the olfactory memory could lead to an even more thorough exploration of the secrets of human memory as such. Numerous studies have confirmed that fragrances are capable of evoking old autobiographical memories.
Practical use is widespread not only in the perfume industry or aromatherapy, but also in marketing. Smell, in addition to its typical tasks, also provides a lot of information that seemingly has nothing to do with smell, e.g. smells affect sexual activity in humans, and even stimulate greater mental effort. It is worth using them consciously also in everyday life, because in this way you can positively influence your mood and general well-being. Appropriate fragrance compositions can have an energizing effect, stimulating to action, or on the contrary - calming down and promoting rest or even making it easier to fall asleep.
How do fragrances affect well-being and mood?
There are many fragrances that can be used to create mood and improve well-being. In this case, various types of plant fragrances are in the lead, which you can surround yourself with on a daily basis by using e.g. scented candles. For example, lavender, which is very often found in various fragrance compositions, has a calming effect. The scent of citrus, including orange, lemon and grapefruit, is supposed to relieve stress and anxiety, has a positive effect on the nervous system, can be helpful in alleviating the symptoms of insomnia or improving the quality of sleep. Chamomile, rose and hyssop are also helpful in relieving stress. With a very bad mood, surround yourself with the scent of sage, basil, vanilla, jasmine or geranium. The smell of coffee, as you can easily guess, has an energizing effect - it not only removes fatigue, but also neutralizes the olfactory center, making it easier to distinguish other smells. Sniffing cinnamon it is recommended in situations that require high concentration and vigilance, e.g. when driving a car or before an important exam.
