The simple spritz of a nice scent can breathe just the right amount of life into you, as you prepare for classes, extracurriculars, and meetings. In fact, a 2016 Scientifica Pharmaceutica article titled “Influence of Fragrances on Human Psychophysiological Activity: With Special Reference to Human Electroencephalographic Response” by Kandhasamy Sowdharajan and Songmun Kim affirms the cognitive benefits of perfume. They say, “In traditional medicine as well as in aromatherapy and herbal medicine, essential oils and fragrance compounds have been used for the treatments of various psychological and physical disorders such as headaches, pain, insomnia, eczema, stress-induced anxiety, depression and digestive problems.” So, in other words, if you decide to delight in a new fragrance purchase, you are actually improving your wellbeing… while simultaneously maxing your weekly budget.
