Candle index
I found a list on the internet that associates different scents with moods or psychological states. Studies reveal that a specific scent can unleash or encourage a corresponding psychological state. The science that makes these studies is called aromachology. It has nothing to do with aroma therapy, because it doesn’t rely on specific substances, but instead on ANY substance that emits a specific aroma. So, for an easy approach, I suggest using candles, but if you want, go ahead and be creative (I strongly discourage sprays and other artificial chemicals, as they may be more harmful than useful). The list goes something like this:
- Jasmine scent can reduce anger, confidence, depression, fatigue, fear, insecurity, stress.
- Orange is against anger, anxiety, confidence, depression, fear, frustration, irritability, tension and can enhance happiness, positive outlook, sexual arousal.
- Patchouli – anger, anxiety, fatigue, stress. It is also a good aphrodisiac.
- Rose – anger, anxiety, depression, stress, panic, grief, loneliness. It can also provoke happiness and peace.
