Scent is Tied to Memory
There is science behind the power of scent with the mind. It has shown to be a closer link to our memory than both sight and touch. Your scent cells are actually linked with the brain's limbic system which controls long term memory, emotion, and behavior. This is the reason behind why scent has such a big link to memories and feeling within one's brain. When someone smells a specific scent it can bring their mind back to the memories and feelings they had during a specific point in time, or to a certain person they have tied to a specific scent.
Scent has Mental Benefits
There are therapeutic benefits involved with certain scents. Many people struggle with stress and anxiety day to day and burning a candle that has a certain scent can help relieve that. Scent is actually said to have a direct correlation to happiness as well as stress relief. An example of this is how lavender is known to promote happiness within people because it triggers feel good hormones. This is why burning candles or having air fresheners in your home, car, workplace etc., can have positive effects on the way one is feeling.
The Power of Scent
Scent makes such a great gift because it can be personalized and have a powerful meaning behind it. You can give someone a scent that has a strong tie to both the relationship and memories you have with them. This shows how much those times with your loved ones truly mean to you.
