We hardly notice the smells of an ordinary day as we work at our many roles. It’s when an out of the ordinary scent assaults our limbic system do we consciously become aware that something is different.
Walking in the bakery on a Sunday morning, we suddenly have a craving for those sinful scrumptious cinnamon buns. Guests may not remember that your living room was a mess when they arrived unannounced, but they will remember the smell of the chocolate chunk cookings baking.
The science of scent is an idea that is catching on.
Ylang ylang brings out sensual, romantic, alluring and amorous feelings. For the honeymoon, pack oils of ylang ylang, rose absolute, jasmine or patchouli for passion and romance. Relax with sandalwood, frankincense, and myrrh and purify with tea tree and eucalyptus.
Experiment with different oils to find your favorites to help bring you to a more peaceful, relaxed state or to a more alert and energized state of mind. Oils can beautify your days and promote well-being and joy. Every facet of life can be enchanted with nature’s gift of essential oils. We all can use a little help now and then.
