So, What’s the Science Behind This?
Turns out, your nose is pretty powerful. According to experts at Harvard, the sense of smell is directly linked to the part of your brain that controls emotions and memories. That’s why the smell of something like Turkish Rose can trigger a wave of nostalgia or happiness in seconds.
When you inhale a scent, the information goes straight to your brain’s limbic system—which is basically the HQ for your emotions.
No wonder certain fragrances can help calm you down, give you energy, or even make you feel a little more flirty (hello, date night vibes!).
How Do Different Scents Affect Your Mood?
Every scent has its own vibe, and depending on what you’re in the mood for, you can pick the fragrance that matches your energy. For example:
Bergamot: Need an energy boost? This fresh, citrusy scent is like sunshine in a bottle. A spritz of bergamot can lift your spirits and help you power through your day with extra pep.
Jasmine: Feeling a little blah? Jasmine is here to save the day. Known for its sensual and mood-lifting properties, this floral note can instantly make you feel more confident and sexy.
Sandalwood: When life feels hectic, a little **sandalwood** can help you find your calm. It’s earthy, grounding, and helps you slow down when things get overwhelming.
Turkish Rose: Looking for a little romance? Turkish Rose is your go-to for evoking feelings of love and warmth. This luxurious floral scent has been known to help reduce stress and elevate your mood, making everything feel a little more magical.
Crushed Raspberry Seed: Need to add some playfulness to your day? This fruity, juicy note gives you a refreshing, carefree boost, perfect for when you need a little extra spark of joy and energy.
VEXA perfumes are built on the idea that certain scents don’t just make you smell good – they can make you *feel* good. We’ve infused our fragrances with scents including Turkish Rose, Jasmine, and Musk which can evoke happiness, calm, or confidence, depending on what you need in the moment.
And that’s why we also infused every bottle with Oxytocin, the “feel good” peptide. Many women who have tried our scents so far report that they felt happier, calmer, and more confident after spritzing.
