Do Scented Candles Make You Happy ?

bHave you have sniffed a scented candle and immediately felt a sense of happiness?

The soothing effect that scented candles have is based on how the brain processes smells.

The smell of scented candles stimulates our limbic system, the part of the brain that is home to our memory and emotions. Scented candles can trigger memories. Our sense of smell is closely linked to our memory and emotions, and certain scents can evoke specific memories or emotions.

For example, the smell of cinnamon or pumpkin spice may remind us of the holidays, while lavender may remind us of a relaxing spa day.

This is why aromatherapy and scents are often used in therapy and relaxation practices.

Scented candles can also create a cozy and comforting atmosphere, which can enhance the overall experience and mood.
