Discover the Power of Scent: The Science Behind ScentStories

Did you know that scent is the only sense with a direct line to your emotional brain? At ScentStories, we harness this fascinating property to support your emotional well-being and positively transform your life.

Here's how it works:

  1. Fast connection: Scent signals reach your emotional brain centers faster than other sensory stimuli. This explains why a scent can change your mood in an instant.
  2. Emotional time machine: Scents are stored with the emotions you are experiencing at that moment. That is why a simple scent can instantly take you back to a precious memory.
  3. Emotional Reset: By consciously pairing a scent with a positive experience, you create a powerful tool for emotional balance. It’s like installing a “shortcut” to a positive state of mind. These insights are supported by the work of Dr. Rachel Herz , a leading expert on the psychology of scent. In her book “ The Scent of Desire, ” she states, “ By consciously pairing a scent with a positive experience, we can create a new emotional association powerful enough to override old, negative ones.”
  4. Conscious choices: By using scents to break old patterns, you open the door to new possibilities and personal development.
  5. Holistic Wellbeing: Studies show that not only our psychological health but also our physical health improves through the conscious use of scent.

At ScentStories, we harness these scientific insights to create unique fragrance formulas. Based on 30 years of knowledge, experience and passion for essential oils, our blends go beyond standard 'calming' or 'focusing' blends. They are carefully crafted to support you in your personal growth process.

Each ScentStories blend is an invitation to rewrite your own story. It is not a magic solution, but a powerful tool that, when combined with your intention to grow, paves the way for positive change.
