Called out as a big beauty trend for this year, mood-boosting scents are finding a place in everyone’s fragrance wardrobes. These compositions have the power to completely transform your mood and productivity levels, thanks to the ability that certain scents have to play with the connection that our brains make with emotions and memories.
So, are you ready to give yourself a dose of joy, or calm your nerves? Here are some of our top picks you’ll love to discover.
