How a simple smell can boost your mood

In a year where we have had to address our emotional wellbeing more than ever before, it is amazing how simple things like smells can directly affect our mood, but even more significantly, how the loss of smell, can negatively impact our day-to-day lives more than we might have expected.

Home has become a haven but the amount of time we have spent in it, has challenged the way in which we enjoy the space and the ambiance.

In fact, 75% of us believe that smells can transform our mood with 60% of us saying that a smell can make us feel calm, when we are feeling sad stressed or annoyed, according to new research by Air Wick Essential Mist.

Aromatherapy can lift your mood, reduce stress and enhance your wellbeing, with Natural essential oils proven to enhance your mood.

Aston spoke to fragrance expert Karen Gilbert to discuss the research and what smells we should embrace for our positive emotional wellbeing.
