How to Find the Scent That Matches Your Mood
Scent is more than just a fragrance—it’s a powerful tool that can shift your emotions, transport you to another place, and help you claim your calm. At Pure Placid, we design our scents to do just that: create a sensory escape that soothes stress, boosts your mood, and enhances your daily rituals.
The Science Behind Scent and Emotion
Your sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system—the part of your brain that controls emotions and memory. This is why a simple inhale can trigger deep feelings of relaxation, happiness, or nostalgia.
Scents don’t just remind you of a past moment; they allow you to relive it emotionally. That’s why certain fragrances can be used as powerful tools for managing stress, focus, and energy levels.
How to Match Scents to Your Mood
Just like music sets a tone, scent does too. Whether you need to relax, recharge, or feel cozy, there’s a perfect fragrance to match. Here’s how to find yours:
