There is much talk of aromatherapy and scents. Everywhere you look, scents are being added to product lines. Traditionally, we see them in body lotions, shampoos and other topical skin care products. Even a well-known toothpaste company now makes vanilla and orange scented toothpaste. Big name marketers know the power of scent.
But why are they choosing the scents they do? In simple terms, scents affect our mood and even our physiology. If something makes us feel good or energized, we want that. Right?
More and more you will see scents added to products we use in our homes, in our place of business, and in the stores we shop in. According to the Sense of Smell Institute, office environments may begin to incorporate scents in the work area to increase alertness, attitude, and work performance.
In a world in which our visual & hearing senses are bombarded with stimuli it's great news that our noses will be in for a treat too.
