intensified or slowed down and calmed by the scent stimulation.

  Scents can affect your mood so much that studies have shown that you can even be enticed more into shopping if certain scents are present in a store. Smells can also take you back to a different time or place and stimulate the remembrance of certain memories. Scent is a powerful thing.

     Using aromatherapy fragrance can dramatically alter your day in a positive way allowing less stress to your body and a better mindset allowing you and those around you to function better.
