It's In The Senses
Ireland's Homes Interiors & Living Magazine|January 2019

As we head into the New Year we think about ways of improving our wellbeing and our homes.

It's In The Senses

Our senses play a huge role in how we feel, and with our sense of smell being the strongest sense it has a huge influence on brain activity. Even the faintest aroma can have a strong therapeutic effect, with the ability to bring back memories, lift mood and even improve your health.

Michael Morris from Irish candle company, The Bearded Candle Makers, shares nine noteworthy scents that will help turn any room into a sanctuary for the mind and body.

For boosting energy levels: Peppermint

An energy booster, this scent invigorates the mind, promotes concentration and stimulates clear thinking. Light a candle containing peppermint if you’re brainstorming, working on a proposal or if you need to fire your brain cells up.

For turning up the heat: Oud

An exotic natural resin derived from the agar trees of Southeast Asia, Oud produces a rich, smoky fragrance similar to tobacco and incense and naturally acts to reduce anxiety, stress, depression and other nervous system disorders. What’s more, because the scent is described as musky, sensual and even ‘animalistic’, it has also been found to be a powerful aphrodisiac.
