If you prefer to have choices when it comes to your daily fragrance, finding affordable options is key to building a collection you love. Science has long explored the connection between scent and memory. Sometimes, a fragrance can transport you to a time or place in life in a way few other things can. One study found that the scent of one’s home is a recognizable and powerful. More than half of Americans (51%) experience “scent-stalgia,” missing the comforting scents of their homes after being away for a couple of days. Certain scents were familiar and evoked feelings of comfort for study participants. These familiar scents not only included “traditional” aromas like flowers but also the familiar scent of a freshly cleaned home.
Even as the years go by, fragrances are often still deeply intertwined with memories and moments. A form of aroma therapy can even help improve older adults’ memories by a considerable margin. In the study, a fragrance wafted through the bedrooms of older adults for two hours every night for six months, and their memory skills improved in a major way.
While it may not boost your brain power, perfume is a great way to express yourself, remember a moment, or simply practice self-care. And smelling great doesn’t have to break the bank!
