Find a Fragrace for Your Mood

You've probably heard of the aromatherapeutic benefits of essential oils. But if you've ever applied an essential oil to your skin, you know it doesn't last. The good news is that your perfume -- which is longer lasting and usually contains many notes -- can also affect your mood. Here are some suggestions for fragrance mood-boosters below:

To help relieve stress: Look for lavender, vanilla, bergamot notes:

  • Amour de Cacao by Comptoir Sud Pacifique
  • Cote D'Azur by Banana Republic
  • Day by the Gap
  • Vanilla Field's by Coty

To energize and uplift: Look for green, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, pine notes:

  • Cool Water for Women by Davidoff
  • Tommy girl by Tommy Hilfiger
  • Nautica Woman
  • Eau Parfumee Extreme by Bulgari

To feel more sensual: Look for musk, sandalwood, amber or jasmine notes:

  • Allure by Chanel
  • Jivago 24K by Jivago
  • Grand Amour by Annick Goutal
  • Melennia by Avon
