Fragrance & Your Mood

Because of the Covid-19 Global Pandemic, we’ve all found ourselves spending much more time at home than usual.
Many of us are feeling stressed and worried about loved ones. Some of us have lost loved ones too, all at the same time as working from home or possibly losing our jobs, home schooling the kids, learning new technology, disinfecting our houses from top to bottom with antibacterial wipes and wondering what will happen next…

All in all it’s a very busy and completely unprecedented time, and with so much going on it’s completely understandable that so many of us are feeling anxiety, stress and depression like never before!
