Smell and emotion are strongly connected. You smell a lot. You smell the city, you smell coffee, you smell your partner's perfume. All those memories are stored in the back part of your brain, which is the oldest part of your brain and is also known as the reptilian brain. That is why fragrances can bring up deep and emotional memories. You can smell something and instantly be transported back to that beautiful place in your thoughts.

Those are definitely scents with citrus. Citrus provides energy; it makes you feel refreshed. I always say: if you wake up in the morning, and it's cold and dark, and you'd rather stay in bed, wear a fragrance with a lot of citrus. It's like your morning alarm.

In spring and summer, I always go for sparkling, uplifting scents. Think of citrus or scents with tea. In winter, you usually want to make it cozy, so I often choose warm, amber-like scents.

When it comes to different rooms, I recommend calming scents for the bedroom. Lavender scents are perfect for this. Lavender calms and relaxes, promoting a good night's sleep. If you have a very large living room that feels chilly, use warm scents to make that space feel cozy. Conversely, sparkling and light scents can make a room feel more spacious.
