Hi everyone! As the title of this post suggests, today I'm going to blog about The Power of Scent. Fragrances have this amazing effect on us all. They lift our spirits, have a positive and nurturing effect, soothe us when we're stressed out and even help us to recall precious memories!

| I bet you can imagine just how wonderful this bouquet smells! |
For example, my fondest memories are all tied to some sort of pleasant scent. When I was little, and found it hard to fall asleep, my mum would slip a pouch of lavender under my pillow and that helped me to drift off.
Now that I'm married, I love receiving surprises from my husband, like a bottle of perfume or a bouquet of fresh flowers. Roses are my favourite! But as a mum, my favourite smell of all time has got to be the scent of my children as newborn babies! You know that newborn baby smell? Gahh!! It's the best! What are your favourite scents of all time?

The Science of Scent
People have used pleasant scents to positively affect a person's mood and well-being for centuries, and the benefits aren't just psychological, but cognitive and physical as well. Today, a substantial body of research supports the link between fragrance and well-being.
Did you know that the sense of smell is one of the most direct ways that we interact with our surroundings? According to Professor Charles Spence from Oxford University, an expert in multisensory experiences, fragrances influence the way we relate to something we feel.
Another expert and author, Jane C Anderson, also stresses on the importance of smell, as it is the most impactful and lingering of all our senses. But of all the wonderful scents of nature, floral scents in particular have been found to be most effective at cultivating a happier, more optimistic outlook.
