Self Care January- Mood Boosting Perfumes

Give someone the right fragrance and they can take on the world! The power of scent can sometimes be underestimated, but aromatherapy has been used for centuries. Some scents can have a great effect on your mood, which is why you should never leave the house without a spritz of your favourite perfume or aftershave.

Your sense of smell is very closely linked to the part of the brain that is responsible for emotion and memory. With that in mind, here are some of the best mood-boosting scents from Valley of Roses and what fragrances you can find them in. 

 

Citrus

Citrus scents are incredibly popular in the world of fragrance, and they lend themselves to both men's and ladies scents. Citrus scents can be very motivating- giving you an instant energy kick.

Some citrus smells can be de-stressing, such as the clean, fresh scent of lemon. You will usually find most citrus fragrances are men’s aftershaves but there are some deliciously citrus ladies fragrances too!

#383 Inspired by Cacharel Yes I Am is one of our favourite hidden gems for ladies. This perfume is citrus & sweet all in one fabulous cocktail of femininity. If you’re a fruity scent lover- this is an excellent grab. In the top note alone there is mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon. 

For men, #110 Inspired by Issey Miyake boasts very unusual and rare materials in order to create perfumes that evoke the sense of timeless freedom and serenity. Fresh, and sporty scent suitable for men of all ages. In the top note we have lemon, bergamot, lemon verbena and mandarin! A citrus feast for the scenes.
