7 Scents That Will Brighten Up Any Home Office Or Business

Some Stats On How Scent Uplifts Our Moods

Over the last decade or so, researchers have carefully studied the ramifications of stress on varied work environments and have discovered that certain scents have healing properties that relieve anxiety.

A 2007 study conducted at Meikai University’s School of Dentistry in Japan indicated that lavender and rosemary significantly decreased cortisol, the stress hormone. Scent can also combat fatigue and promote mental clarity and concentration.

One iconic, Nobel Prize-winning study indicated that the average person has about 1,000 olfactory genes in their body, and can recall as many as 10,000 diverse smells.

Further research suggests that 75% of our daily emotions are influenced by smell, and our moods can rally for the better by 40% after smelling a pleasant fragrance. Further, a 2015 study conducted in Japan found that lemon scent reduced typing errors by 54%; 33% with jasmine and 20% with lavender.

The Power of Scent In Business Settings

The role of scent in any brick and mortar business or home office is two-fold; namely, to enhance overall mood and increase productivity.

In order to be effective, a fragrance must have the power to reset feelings by permeating the essence of the atmosphere, and yet at the same time, always remain slightly out of reach.

It whispers softly, yet indelibly, to the core of our thoughts and feelings. Fragrance provides an emotional, shifting landscape within a work space.

According to Olivia Jezler, founder of The Future of Smell, a fragrance consultancy dedicated to helping clients leverage emerging trends in experiential and product fragrance design: “Scent is a very emotional way to separate our spaces, and to create more space than we actually have.”

According to Indian architect, Suchi Reddy of Reddymade: “Scent is a great way to change something, with a very subtle kind of intervention that doesn’t necessarily require more square feet, or a huge investment of money.”

Her collaboration on the project, A Space for Being, an interactive installation that incorporates diverse stimuli, led to the creation of a series of spaces designed to evoke specific feelings through color, texture, light, sound, smell, and feeling.
