Scents have the power to completely transform the atmosphere of a project. More than a detail, a home's smell influences mood, the feeling of comfort, and even productivity. This happens because the sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system, the area of the brain responsible for emotions and memory. It's no coincidence that certain perfumes take us back to childhood, special trips, or moments of relaxation.
