What links underlie the interaction between the brain and olfaction?<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
The amygdala and hippocampus, whose interaction allows olfactory memories to be stored, are regions of the brain involved in managing emotions and memories. It is therefore not surprising that a simple smell of coffee can unexpectedly bring back a particular morning, a shared moment, or a feeling that we thought was forgotten.
\nThis is a specific aspect of olfactory memories. Certain particular smells, especially those experienced during childhood, transport us to lived moments or specific places. The scent of a pastry, fresh paint, or the aroma carried by a gentle breeze: olfaction, and the memories it generates, has an impressive lifespan, capable of vividly reviving a specific element of our memory, even from our first decade of life.
\nOlfaction is thus the subject of many studies seeking to better understand the links between memory and smell. One specificity of olfactory memory is not only to revive a happy memory but to inspire the well-being associated with it. A study from Brown University, published in 2005 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology<\/em>, shows that pleasant smells can improve mood and productivity at work.<\/p>\n<\/div>The power of scents on our brain<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
Olfaction has a significant influence on the brain, with an impact that goes beyond merely reviving memories. Certain scents manage to influence specific emotions and moods. For example, lavender is used to reduce stress, while mint helps revitalize the mind, along with many other fragrances that have different effects on the brain.
\nAromatherapy relies on the olfactory properties of essential oils to create a soothing and pleasant atmosphere within a space. Halfway between aromatherapy and perfumery, the fragrances from the Zen & Clean collection by Scentys are designed to help relieve stress, improve productivity, and enhance concentration.
\nAn increasing number of companies across various industries are leveraging the power that olfaction has over the brain. In the hospitality sector, brands add scents to mark the customer experience. Some companies use scent diffusers to strengthen their identity. Thus, the power of perfumes is the foundation of sensory marketing.<\/p>\n<\/div>
