Did you know that smell and scent actually impact our productivity tremendeously? It is a long time at work and meanwhile, the smell of takeout food still lingers in the air. Now, how do we resolve this? we can use scent to our advantage. 

Research has repeatedly shown that lighting a candle has a positive effect on the brain in many different situations. Aromas released air compounds that are inhaled by the body. These compounds travel to the brain through the bloodstream and interact with neurotransmitters depending on the type of smell.


Our brains associate smells with memories, emotions, and survival instincts. Every time we breathe in a new perfume, the olfactory bulb recognizes where it came from and what it means. The hill tells us how to react.For this reason, researchers suggest incorporating scents that enhances concentration level such as rosemary or peppermint scented candles, into the workplace. These aromas activate neurotransmitters that increase productivity and help us survive the mental depression.
