How flower scents influence your emotional state

"The fragrance of a flower speaks directly to our emotions."

Our sense of smell is directly connected to the brain's limbic system, which processes emotions and memories. This is why certain flower scents can trigger powerful emotional responses.

Lavender promotes relaxation and better sleep by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Jasmine can boost mood and energy levels, while rose scents may reduce anxiety and create feelings of happiness.

Even brief exposure to these natural aromas can create lasting positive effects on your emotional wellbeing throughout the day.
