THE IMPACT OF FRAGRANCES ON OUR EMOTIONS - REALITY OR MYTH?
Have you noticed how the scents in our everyday environment affect the way we feel? There is a reason why fragrance and aromatherapy products are in demand - I believe it is not just the variety of scents that people seek. It is the rich bouquet of sensations that these fragrances can provide. Their role can be so varied - a scent can enhance emotional well-being, evoke the best experiences or ground. And at the same time, it can sink, making you feel the opposite emotion.
Fragrances range from soft and comforting to refreshing and bright. And if you've noticed, your craving for fragrance can change depending on your mood and the pace of your day. And the same scent can smell different on two different people. This is proof that scents are living organisms of a kind - they interact with our bodies as well as with our minds.
Consciously choosing your own range of aromas and emotions
And yet - we are all so different, wouldn't you agree? One scent will make someone feel thrilled and happy about the past. At the same time, it will make another nervous, anxious or depressed. The scents that accompany us in our daily lives can largely determine the range of emotions we experience. That's why it's important to find the right ones for you, so that you can manage your days in harmony with yourself.
I believe that we can strive to find new ways to take care of ourselves every day. And choosing the right fragrance for you certainly won't hurt. On the contrary, it will awaken your energy and possibly take it to a whole new level. Everyday we are surrounded by so many scents and emotions that we don't choose and often can't even distance ourselves from. That's why it's important to understand what those moments are when we can consciously choose the bouquet of scents and emotions we want. Your bathroom could definitely be a place to express yourself, don't you agree?
At Vegan Fox Cosmetics, we too are committed to diverse, human and, importantly, natural products as part of our development. We make sure that each of our customers can find the right body care products for them - for their skin type, their desired texture and formulation, and for their scent.
Vegan Fox TOP 3 fragrance choices
Vegan Fox Body care fragrances are so varied - from invigorating ginger, nourishing coffee and sweet red grape to calming lavender. But our customers have singled out 3 of their favourites:
1.The juicy grapefruit scent is our customers' favourite.
Did you know that in aromatherapy, grapefruit aroma is often used to balance mood, lower blood pressure and relieve the body and mind of unnecessary stress?
Our summery linden blossom fragrance is also in the TOP 2. As it turns out, this scent used to be used to boost creative energy, as the scent of these flowers was believed to help clear the mind.
3.The refreshing peppermint fragrance has become a favourite among our customers, even though there is only one product in this category. As with all our products, the Peppermint Scrub combines only natural and quality ingredients.
What's more, we're convinced that the fresh scent of peppermint will invigorate you and give you energy for the whole day!
How to find the right one for you?
Very simple. Your taste buds will tell you in front of you. And yet, it's worth paying attention to the times of day you plan to use your body care products. For example, the scent of lavender has long been known for its calming properties. So, in combination with a relaxing evening bath or shower, this scent will perfectly put you in the mood for a sweeter night's sleep. In contrast, mint, ginger, grapefruit and other invigorating scents will give you energy, focus and a fresh start to your day.
If you haven't found the right product for you yet, you might want to keep looking. Just like our emotions, fragrance choices can depend on a wide range of circumstances. We feel differently every day. If our choice of fragrances is so dependent on our emotions, it is only natural that our expectations of fragrances can also change from day to day.
Similarly, the conditions outside the window are a great example of how external conditions influence our choices. For summer, products that will give you that much-needed pick-me-up are perfect. Grapefruit and mint, for example, will guarantee it. When your mind and body are craving warmth, ginger will save the day. Linden blossom and lavender will surround you with soft memories of summer warmth.
Choose to take care of yourself and your well-being - both physical and emotional.
