When seeing, hearing, feeling and tasting, the impressions first have to be processed and assessed in the cerebral cortex of the brain. Fragrances, on the other hand, go directly into the limbic system of the brain, which also influences the control of emotions, memory and drive. So before we consciously perceive a scent, it has already touched us on an unconscious level. The limbic system in the brain is also responsible for the release of endorphins, the body’s own happiness hormones. Therefore, fragrances can release these messenger substances and evoke feelings of relaxation, wellbeing and happiness. The fastest way to achieve such effects is with the help of essential oils.
